GigiPlumeria said:After the cut has healed, I'm wondering if it would protect the bottom part if a waterproof wood glue is applied to the bottom before repotting? The reason I ask is that it probably will help later to make sure that it is sealed and will not be the starting entry of a root rot. My "stump" is shiny because I applied a wood glue so it will protect the top.

So far we never apply any glue, usually if it dries then should be alright, and I am worried the glue will introduce some fungi to grow.

When I cut the branches, sometimes to reduce the evaporation, I apply nail coloring on the top
