Ah, Dear, Dear Dr. Ravenna, no bleeding here, the stress was from the fear of the tree dying from being touched by me... it has been known to happen. It will have a fairly tropical home for the winter, Temps in the 70F's with high lumin lights and plenty of humidity. I figure it thinks the summers here are the tropical winters... or at least that is my hope.
I figured that if I took out a wedge of roots every 6 months I could eventually reduce the mass of tangled roots, at least enough so in future years I can properly repot the tree into a better pot (I have a nice oval, unglazed one I would like better.) I keep waiting for someone to chime in and tell me I have overdone what this type of tree can take and to give it a lot of TLC.
