February 2021

This was sold in ceramic pot and both the substrate and the pot were very wet in the store. one day after bringing it home I noticed there wasn’t any improvement and decided to repot it, and that’s when I saw that the plant was actually in a slightly smaller plastic pot which was inside the ceramic pot. 

I left it outside the pot to dry out before repotting and it took 4 days before the soil was dry. 

For repotting I decided to split it into two pots. I saw a few videos where it was mentioned that it needed a bigger pot to develop a thick trunk, so I chose two pots that are relatively big.
