Letting it grow wild, shifted to a more shallow and wider container to let more roots grow outwards.

Overall quite happy with the growth. Multiple budding points which i pointed earlier on gives rise to potential clump style in future to come. At this point i like to train them when they as young as in the stage of growing green young shoots getting ready to harden in months to come. Im using soft brass wire of .41mm and wire them loosely to style them. So now will be letting them grow wild to thicken up and harden. My way of wiring in stage as early as this doesn't go all the way to the end of the shoot/new young branch, cos all i need is to let them thicken so the remaining 50% or more will be pruned off in future to encourage more ramification. So it doesnt really matter how it grows after the 50% length to me.

Wonderful growth here, its really worth the effort and time to develop it into a clump style shohin in next 3-4years time considering how the buds sprouts all around the cut area.

Signs of vigorous growth. Potential clump style in future to come.

This is one of main root that was cutted off from the och(oh chin huat) water jasmine that i bought over some time ago. As much as i could, tried to retain some feeder roots and planted it straight in soil and kept it moist for about 4 weeks before it started budding.
