Last saturday, I pruned more or less like in the last virtual I made, and transplanted.
While transplanting, I got ride of the rrots that you could see comming out of the ground and back again.
The problem came more under the roots. There where big roots circling around the botton of the pot and all fused together (1,5 cm thick). I had to leave them unless I wanted to be left with a big cutting.
What I made was to make some cuts and apply rooting hormones where I whant roots to grow, so in future repots I could cut those big roots if new ones grow in those places.

What do you think would I be lucky next year? or should I give up my hopes and try to airlayer later on?
