    Humble Seedling Beginnings - Knowledge Requested

    Hello Nutties..... Check out these seedlings that I have acquired!!! I'm not sure on the rules about promoting sites so for now I'll leave it alone where I purchased from. I know that many advanced Bonsai students just go for the thick trunks, but as I've stated in other posts, my love for...

    Target Soil Moisture Level for Juniper Procumbens nana

    Hello, I am new to bonsai growing and want to make sure that I am doing everything right for my bonsai. I am 99% sure that is a Juniper Procumbens nana. I just bought the bonsai for my desk at work and realized that the pot does not have a hole in the bottom to let excess water out. I am going...

    Changing pots? (Portulacaria afra)

    Hi! I’ve just gotten a new cutting from a few months ago and I’m looking to let it grow out for a while so i can maybe (hopefully) begin the process of turning it into a bonsai. This is my first plant ever so I’m very very new to the game. I have him in a bit of a small pot right now, but it’s...

    Here be dragons...

    Three new pots in the works. Two dragons and an ex-dragon. The first one came through bisque firing with flying colors. Now in for the second firing. The other two are slow drying.

    the Mother Load -Warehouse Full of Pots

    I was going around last week looking for some pots and was pointed towards a shop I thought was a run of the mill small nursery with a few larger pots for pot plants outside. When I got there I realized the store, although only about 6m (18ft) wide, was very deep and double story. It was filled...

    Any thoughts on this old pot?

    I found this pot at an antique show last year. Snagged it at a very reasonable price. I knew it was older Japanese and figure it is from the Meiji period. But that is about all I know. I did see a similar one on EBay that had to be by the same kiln and probably artists too—the shape and painting...

    Hunger Games: A creative solution

    What do you do when you have a colonoscopy the next day and haven’t eaten in 24 hours and are done with your last last dose of Moviprep (an evil substance if ever there was one) and just can’t take another food commercial on TV? Make bonsai pots of course! Just some little kusamono pots since...

    Terracota pots - They dry faster

    There is a myth around here that terracota pots (for seedlings, saplings and training plants) are way better than plastic pots. My observation so far is: Given pots with the same size, draining holes and volume, with the same substrate and plants inside, but plastic X terracota = terracota dries...

    Drilling Extra Drainage Holes in Pot

    I just received this awesome Thor Holvila bonsai pot in the mail, but it only has one tiny drainage hole. I don’t have pictures yet, but you can see the hole in the second to last picture here: http://thorholvila.tictail.com/product/palm-size-1708-13-xxx. It would offer barely any drainage and I...

    Round vs Oval

    (Squares/Rectangles will be excluded for simplicity) When I first became interested in bonsai, I looked at a lot of photos. Because of the angle of the photos and my newbiness, I originally assumed the pots were round. I now know that most of the pots I saw were ovals. I would think that with...

    A Little Pot Shopping

    I recently had the opportunity to rummage through a whole bunch of inexpensive Chinese imports and stock up on pots at a very reasonable price. I think I may have gotten a little carried away ;) This is what ended up in the back of my car: Actually, I really do need a bunch of inexpensive...
