I would probably get the glued on rocks off so you can water from the top.
Replace them with some gritty soil like a cactus mix and use a chopstick to
work some of the grit into the soil that is already in the pot. In
addition, check to make sure there is a drainage hole in the bottom of the
pot and that the water drains through it.

Determining the type of tree is important two determine where to keep it.
If it has short needle foliage is probably a juniper and should probably be
outside with some protection or in an unheated storage area. If it has very
small green leaves it is probably a serissa, particularly if it has flowers,
and will need to stay inside in cold weather. If it has larger green leaves
it may be a ficus and should stay in. There is information at the IBC site
that can help you determine exactly what it is and tips on how to maintain
it over the winter.

Thanks for the reply,

I live in philadelphia, pennsylvania, where the weather ranges from 100 F in
the summer to 20 degrees and colder in the winter.

Should i just repot it to make it easier? should i get some kind of light
for the planet?
