4 new shoots on the Ikadabuki, on this picture just barely visible.
Used a long pot to later on bend one of the two front branches further forward and let its aerial roots come down.

Will probably leave the downward facing branch in place for a couple of months, as sacrifice branch to thicken the node and trunk. Water supply will be small at first to get it looking like it struggled after toppling over, then plenty to get a good trunk going (I'd like 10 cm for 4 trunks) and then slowly will be reduced again with the second pruning. It won't be allowed to flower, though that would look quite cool. Maybe after trunk building is finished, maybe some sacrifice branches will be allowed to.

Thumb of 2021-10-18/dewayx/ab0fea ayyy look at these cute new leaves! 2 weeks and they have bulbils on their edges already!
