I have a japanese black pine in a 1 gallon nursery pot which I have began to
train. I took the root ball out of the pot to see if it was looking healthy.
I then put it back in, and there is space of air inbetween the root ball and
the bottom of the pot. This may be a stupid question, but I just want to do
what is best for the plant. Should I keep forcing the rootball down into the
pot, or should I fill the gap with soil? The reason I am considering filling
it with soil is because I tried to push the rootball down, but i can't seem
to fill the gap. I don't want to put too much preasure on the roots, or
compact the soil to much because then the air circulation will decrease.
Thanks for your time. - Colin Horn, Orinda, CA
