Here is a one-month update on this cutting. It seems well, but I have some questions and I could use your sage advice:
1) It has been poured on several times, and a lot of the soil it came packed in washed away. This exposed some of the roots, so I covered the whole thing in a layer of loose bonsai soil.
2) When I water this tree, it ends up bone dry by the end of the day. It gets *direct* sunlight. It's set up just to the north of my front door (there is nowhere to the south of my house where I can put it), and it gets sunlight all day, probably 12 hours a day. Should I provide it any shade? It will get into the high 90s in the next month or two.
Thank you for any and all advice! I'd really like to make this little plant into a tree.
