Exposed root or...ROR...who knows. Hoping one of those. Time will tell...will have to listen to it when I get it out of its current pot.
The rock...wedged into a small pot to stand upright.
Stone is 4 1/2" x 4 1/2"...its a boston ivy mame at best... It will be kept tight. I don't like long untaper branches. Scott Lee knew my material...I doubt he would steer me wrong. Though he had a larger one...I felt this looked like petrified wood...resembling vine over a rotted post even...without worry of decay.If it broke off it was a loop root, plant it!
How big is that stone? In relation to the plant will it be big enough to be seen and support the plant? Curious and certainly not saying it could not be done is all

I like my women like I like my roots, loopy.That is either a loop root or another trunk. Cannot tell without digging in deep and exposing it but I suspect a loop root. Happens with many plants including my Bald Cypress when root bound. It can be worked with or cut off like I do with the Serrisa. If you look very closely at the one I have a thread on I left one to complete a small loop and cut and spread out others.
Your plant is darn nice and if it were mine I would consider exposed root although it takes a bit of time and patience
@Mellow Mullet , @BillsBayou - what say you?

Honestly if I feel it has more character as an exposed root...then rock gets a daiza.
You know...you're right it does!I like those ideas, that rock reminds me of The Rock of Gibraltar and I would display it that way

You know...you're right it does!
Perhaps an ocean blue tray/shallow pot, filled with sand? Straight on view would look a bit like the ocean hitting the shore... gears spinning is all

Now that you all seen its raw potential.........
Unsure what post your talking about.
Ahhh that tree looks great with the roots. My mame...the main tree...does not have a style to carry it. Thanks for attaching.
