DeepSouth. Long time since we talked. Hope all is well.
Question - Spring Cleanup - I am doing my spring cleanup on my DR. I only removed a few branches. No going to town like I did last year. I like its shape now. My plan is to take out of this pot and see how the roots look and overall health of the plant. I also plan on raising it some then repotting it and start to slowly acclimate into back into full sun for the summer. I love the pot it is in and its done great in there so far. My question is can I continue to use this pot for another year. Its not real deep and I did notice some small roots coming out the holes on the bottom. Is it possible to remove from pot, rinse the roots so I can inspect better and perhaps trim some of the roots if needed? I figure raising it some and a light trim on the bottom with give me more room in the pot. Pictures attach of the state it is in now. Also if all looks well in the root area is it still advised to do a Thiomyl dip before replanting?
