I just received this Sharp's Pygmy less than 2 weeks ago and have a couple concerns.
1) It is roughly 12"-14" tall and I'd like to have it grow in height and trunk girth, what size pot should I go with? I know the roots remain shallow so will a deep pot have any impact be it positive or negative?
2) The soil seems to go pretty dry quickly, would it be safe to swap to using Fox Farm Ocean Forest (contains some sphagnum peat moss) and mix in some perlite?
3) I don't know if you can see the brown leaves but there are a few on the top and bottom. Would this occur from direct sun or the soil it's in? Info online indicates the sun shouldn't be an issue so maybe the soil they have with it is draining too quickly. I can't exactly say when it began and if it may be due to shipment. It arrived a vibrant green so I feel bad.
Thanks
