Was that initial soil some kind of akadama? I heard that cheaper, low quality, bonsai soil will disintegrate and create a muddy substrate. No wonder that mud stayed wet for so long. Good thing you decided to repot. New soil looks much better.

I can say for sure that that soil was very good acadama. It was probably still wet from being watered in.

Thankfully you got it into good soil, that previous substrate looked a bit like a death sentence for a portulacaria afra. I'm sure it'll grow really well in the new pot! Also, I use the same blue pellets, they've worked really well for me for the last few years, really convenient.

ok ill write it again in short: 1.portulacaria afra dont like fertilizer right away after reppoting. 2.theres no hail marry cut thing on portulacaria becouse it should always divide really good no matter where u cut but make sure u cut only in summertime and spring otherwize it just weakens the plant.
