Hello ppl!
Just a little update on this small Calliandra...
I did some selection some time ago, and it gave me that lower branch on a convenient position.
A few months ago I took advantage of it's winter slowdown to wire it, and position primary branches.
So today I just changed it's soil, the flaring of the roots worked well, nebari is starting to look good, so I prunned the roots shorter to keep it compact.
Yep, it doesn't have much taper on the trunk, so that's what I'm gonna aim this season, thickening the lower branch so I can get the base a little thicker, the flared out root might help on that.
This species doesn't close the wounds too well, therefore I'm avoiding big cuts.
I'm really enjoying going this small, and already have other projects going on!
Cheers, have a great week!
