When it comes to Bonsai pots, these matter in the overall scheme of things. Therefore, you want the pot to have a depth the same as the trunk’s caliper, with the exception of the Cascade style. In addition, the tree should be planted in the midline section of the pot, then to the left or right of the centerline and if you were using a fruit or flowering tree, then you want to choose glazed pots that have colors to enhance the Bonsai.
In addition, the width of the pot should be two-thirds that of the tree’s height. If the tree is short, then the pot should be about two-thirds of the tree’s spread. The style of the pot should always match the tree. For example, if you choose to train your Bonsai in the Upright style, then you might want to consider a rectangular pot. If the style were an Informal Upright, then the pot should be round or oval.
For culture, this is important for both appearance and growing. Therefore, when fertilizing, you want it to be at full strength, although there is some controversy among Bonsai growers on this. In addition, the soil should be uniform and never layered, which is another controversial subject. To help increase the level of humidity, place a tray of small pebbles covered with water by the base of the tree.
While an occasional misting is not necessarily a bad thing, you do need to be careful in that it can cause a salt buildup on the leaves. Rather than water the Bonsai on a fixed schedule, pay attention to its moisture level, watering when needed. Then, the fine particles from soil should be removed, using just the coarse particles. Finally, tropical and subtropical plants should be considered for indoor Bonsai while temperate climate plants do best outside. To keep temperate climate plants inside, you will need to provide them with a certain time of cold dormancy.
