Up potting

My cuttings have been growing in the 32 oz cups for more than two months. Their roots need more space to grow. A good sign for the up potting is the roots growing out of bottom. I am using transparent cup. I can see circular root down the bottom. The root ball will remain intact when I place the cutting in the new pot.

Up-potting is also a good opportunity to rotate the tree so the stem will go straight up rather than titled.

I place the tree close to the window and allow it the expose to indirect sun light. I will move it to outdoor when the weather is warm enough.
