Fly, when repotting Eucs do you try to spread the roots out into a more horizontal fashion just under the topsoil or leave them in their tubestock near vertical style?
Last repot I spread mine horizontal in an attempt to promote wind resilience figuring that new growth from these existing roots would return to vertical as they seek water. In my case the increased risk of drying associated with being so dependant on topsoil moisture immediately after potting is offset by my automated (timer) misting system.
I also used a weak seaweed treatment after the repot to help overcome the shock.

So there you have it. Root-pruning Euc seedlings in a nutshell. I wish I could make it seem more involved and mystical, but it's really not.
Thanks.

Thanks for the step-by-step illustrated process Fly, appreciated. I'll be using it as a reference in the future.
