Step 7It GROWS
Like magic, your tree will grow faster than expected. As a sapling, which you probably rescued it as, it will shoot skywards. But its growth rate will steadily decrease.
As the tree grows, you will find that you may need to switch pots. Don't let the pot get too small, but don't be switching your tree out constantly either. That can kill it. Usually, its better to err on the side of caution and not transplant it quite yet.
To transplant:
When moving a tree from pot to pot, simply tap and shake the pot to free the root ball, tilt the pot downwards, and grabbing the edges of the dirt-clump that comes out, gently slide the tree out. Then (not taking any dirt off), dig a hole big enough in the new pot to fit the incoming tree and place in. Cover the roots with dirt, water, and fertilize if you haven't for a while.
(Yes, I know that the pictures aren't of a tree, but its exactly the same and all I had)
