Hinoki from big box store

[Mike123]

Finally got around to repoting this one. I dont have pics of when i purchased it but i repotted it in a wine box two years ago at least. The wooden box had deteriorated so time for another repot.
Just put in a mica pot for now.
Wine box


Some decent roots I think.


And in mica pot.


Not to bad for box store. Now if i only knew how to wire and know a million other things, maybe it could be something some day

Very nice,

I've got a beaut, I picked up from a big box store last fall, it's a monster. I need to dig it out of my winter bed and repot it in the next couple weeks. I'll try and post a picture when I do.

Good start...as for wiring. Colin Lewis's free video helped me. If you look while there he has one on improper wiring...and it explains why when put on wrong...why it doesn't hold. Knowing that...in the back of your mind while wiring. Just makes it easier to comprehend. There is also another link. What I seen of it was good. I found it hard to understand at times...muffled with background noise. But...good direction as well. I screen shot the video and plan on going back to watch more.
