Hello friends! I just found this pine plant growing with Moses along the wooden bark in a forest. So along the Moses and it’s roots that uprooted was repotted yesterday.
Do you think I need to do wiring on it at this stage?

Nope. Leave it alone to recover for a year at least.
I assume you know it needs to move outside, right?

Karma,
You'll hear it a lot on here, don't water on a schedule, only when needed. The only time I would find it appropriate to water every other day is in severely hot/dry conditions, and even then it might not be necessary, depending on the type of plant, pot, etc.
Good Luck.

I did first watering for 6 weeks a few days ago. Just as you drink when your thirsty, you should water the tree when it is thirsty. In summer that could be twice a day and in winter it could be less than once a month.

Thank you guys! Greatly appreciated and duly noted on the watering schedule ‘s dos and don’ts. Since repotting the plant(last Tuesday), I’ve only watered it twice and will be more careful with it.

Another thing I forgot to ask the experienced gentlemen here is should I use toothpaste on the surface of the wound ( the cut or wound was already there when I brought this pine plant from the forest) as the cut paste is not easily available in my vicinity but I also heard the resinous sap plant such as pine do not need such remedy. What should I do ?
I’ve attached images.
Much thanks !

....toothpaste???????

Just don't fiddle with it, trees in nature do not use anything on their "wounds" when something happens and they do just fine.
On a side note: loose the moss, absolutely no use for that!

Thanks again! Just that I read toothpaste are source of good anti fungal properties for cuts on the branches as an substitute for cut-paste.
The roots of pine plant was intact with Moses so I didn’t remove it instead potted it on top of manured soil.

Yes, toothpaste, it has antifungal properties, it works and do no harm to the plant, however a few rains can wash it over...
You can use beeswax... And there are other mixes you can use it that does well.
I would recommend to use beeswax on that spot if you don't have any cutpaste, as it is a place that will likely get wet constantly...

Yes, trees on nature doesn't have the luxury of any of that, because a plant suffer on it's own enviroment doesn't mean that our plants should suffer equally, as many of the young trees on nature dies from the natural challenges it faces everyday, like animals stomping on it, eating it, breaking and rotin, and so on...
