It was filled up with pure akadama. Spagnum moss or cocopeat will work too

Now all you have to do is water. Keep the soil wet. After about 5 or 6 months new roots will have formed. You can then cut the trunk under the newly formed roots and put the whole lot in it's own container.

Nice photo sequence, Rene! Thanks for posting.
That's a grafted Acer palmatum shishigashira. I'm surprised - he seems to have taken the layer below the graft line. Did he say why? Best regards, Carl
