R Mun,
Lots of questions and sounds like a lot of work. Why don't you let me take that off your hands and trade you a nice new pine for it??
Let me summarize and you say if correct.
-You recieved this Black pine on a slab, you don't know its history
- you are not sure If you are watering enough because of cracks in the edges of the muck.
A photo would help.
First don't repot now. Also don't error on too little water. Black pine can survive with low water conditions because it is a tough tree but it likes water and it likes its foliage watered too.
I'm reminded of a Rock planting I saw at Carl Young's nursery some time ago. He had a $10,000 price tag on it. He kept it wet in summer with a 5 gallon bucket suspended above it, with several quarter inch tubes coming out of it with low flow drippers on them.
Good luck, post a photo if you can. More suggestions will follow, party on.
