I am sure Mr. T will find his use somewhere! That pot was probably singularly responsible for us going over the bandwidth limit this month (I am just kidding of course).

With regard to the rocks - unfortunately, the rocks won't help develop roots, they will probably do the opposite. In terms of getting new roots developing, you might consider removing the stones, lowering the trunk a bit and letting soil, air, light and help with the development of the roots. Getting the trunk down into the soil, maybe putting a little bit (not a lot) of sphagnum moss on either side and so forth will help develop roots.

Here's the darker glaze and no rocks. This pot looks a touch large but it is 110% better than the one with the ring details that you posted last week. Darker color helps to conceal the size a little, too, but I would probably go somewhat smaller.

Good luck,

Matt
