I've been struggling with a new shohin trident maple and today I removed the soil on top of the tree to see. It's been staying wet, and I haven't watered it in 2 days.
I found it to be very root bound. The roots have grown over the wire holding them down and there is very little soil in the pot. Am not clear why it was staying wet but it was. It was finally dry when I looked at it today. I watered the roots and put new soil on top and watered again.
I'd messaged my instructor at his nursery and he had a terrible loss of someone dear to him yesterday.
Am not comfortable taking this out of the pot myself and repotting and it will be at least a week before I can get it to an expert look at. I'll keep it out of direct sun and water carefully.
Is there anything else I can or should do right now?
