I am located in the North Dallas area. I figured the temps where good enough to do prune, raise, and repot. I will not be put outside until I am sure there will not be a another fluke freeze and the temps are a little higher at night. What I have done so far is removed DR from current pot. Washed all the old dirt out and did some light trimming on the roots. I also pruned the branches and part of the caudex then superglued the cuts. I then soaked the base in thiomyl for 20 minutes then hung it to dry in the garage. Right not I have it hanging in the garage in preparation of putting it in its new pot . I have Ocean Forest potting soil and #3 perlite and a proper size pot to put it in. Today is the second day of hanging. Question is how long does it need to hang if at all? Pictures attached of post cut DR and hanging. Also a picture of how far I plan to raise it.
