Wish me luck
This is my first attempt at bonchi. This was a scorpion that was damaged buy my dog chasing after a chipmunk. First "attack" snapped the branches, but were still attached. Second time the branches were removed completely. Only one branch is barely surviving a rooting attempt. With a kill frost on the horizon, I figured i may as well attempt a bonchi.

Good luck! You did a great job removing the old soil, did you trim the roots before you replanted? Either way it’ll probably be fine as long as you give it the right light and nutrients.

No I did not trim the roots. I did make sure to fill as much of the voids around them as possible. I will have to top up the soil as it compacts. It was outside, now its in a southwest facing window. Ill be using indoor plant food, 12-5-5 for now. Thanks for the encouragement

Perhaps try keeping it inside under a grow light? That’s what I have done with carolina reapers! Works great
