The number of healthy roots in the old pot is probably a hint - seems that it likes being pot bound in a small pot. As you go up in pot size, make sure the medium is very well-drained to keep the roots healthy.

I've got it in chunky bark with some fabulous packing peanuts in the center to add some extra ventilation! I was going to just go up to a plastic cup, but I wanted to go up an extra size because the root ball was still so chunky.

I mean, it'll just take time before this pot is totally filled up again! Then I want to mount it or something... someday... when I get it specimen sized!!
