Hello! Newbie here. Today I repotted two of my shohin Chinese elms and used a soil mix from one of the most reputable sellers here in the UK.
Now, seeing as the trees are shohin sized, I figured I didn't need to hold down the trees using wire so I just added soil to the pot, placed the tree, then added more soil, using a chopstick to let the soil fill all empty spaces. The soil is coarse and unlike regular compost I must add. After watering, the trees are sort of loose or flimsy in the soil and can easily be tilted. I know the trees haven't settle yet especially after root pruning, but is this normal?
Should I just wait a couple of weeks for the root network to grow again for the trees to become actually totally fixed in the soil? Should I have added wire? Any advice or help is appreciated! Thanks!
