Post title says it all, had a pot break during the cold snap despite being mulched in. Shoulda replaced it when I repotted this year since it had a hairline fracture, but it didn't happen. Now how to proceed as in balmy Tennessee, I've not dealt with winter broken pots, even with Terra Cotta.
Background:
-American Wisteria.
-Root work and repotted Spring 2019.
-Plant 80% healthy, had some issues the past two summers with yellowing leaves and early defoliation, cured it at the end of this summer by relocating it with the pot in mostly shade and the canopy in mostly sun.
-tree is mulched I to its winter placement.
Unfortunately, I don't have a similar sized bonsai pot so I have a couple options.
1) I pressed the pot back together, just two pieces, and pushed against another tree to hold them together, remulched the entire pot back in. Leave this way until spring.
2) Repot now. The best I can do is to just Repot it into a nursery container, mulch back in, leave until spring or leave in nursery pot all next year to regain strength from two root disturbances in one year.
What do you nuts think?
