BigBill, Thanks! Yeah that makes sense. Understanding exactly what this is isn't so big with me at the moment so not knowing for sure is fine. I'm thinking about it as practice to make sure I can keep this alive and allow it to prosper. If I have success with this, I may be a bit choosier with my next purchase!
tarev, Thanks! I was debating heating up a nail and poking holes in the side of the pot for more airflow. I'm just a big apprehensive about doing it as I don't want to accidentally scorch a root in the process.
