I took some advice from a few people here and repotted my newly purchased fucus into a bigger pot and with better substrate. I hope I did an okay job. I watched several videos on YouTube and made sure to really get the akadama in the root structure, and really made sure it was tamped down pretty well. Kinda changed the look of the tree a little since it's no longer on a "hill" and is now deeper into the pot, which is an aspect I liked from the smaller pot, but I'd like this tree to get some good trunk growth so I'm getting used to the new look. Wiring and shaping right now is a work in progress. I have a good idea of what I want to do, but kind of indecisive about pruning certain branches.

bigger pot, check. decent substrate, check. dont over think it you nailed it. its summer, dont even worry about styling or messing with it. let it get accustomed to its new home and push out as much new growth as it can while you can still keep it outside.
