Yeah, I'm going to move it outside when I get home from work today. I watered it as soon as it came out of the box. I put it under a gentile flow in the shower and just kept going until the water draining out of the holes on the bottom of the pot was clear. Overall it seems like the water drains pretty well. Also, there are pretty pronounced wire marks in the trunk. Is that going to be a disaster later on or will they flesh out over time?
As excited as I am about all this, I'm trying to accept that I will probably kill or mess up this first one in some way. Hopefully, that will help me learn so that the next one I start work on I can get a little attached.

Hmm, I suppose I really should just wait until I can get home and post a picture.
