What a cute Shohin! Sadly the pot arrived broken.Seller is replacing with the same pot. Just glad that the bonsai was not damaged.

So since it needs a new pot...curioius if I should let it be...and continue to lean... or take this as a good reason to pot it to encourage a cascade. I could easily pop it backI to the pot that is replacing the broken one.

Was suggested to place in larger pot...allowing it to thicken...and work on the top branches. I don't hate that idea...the one we seen in Honduras was leaning. Charmingly actually. I do like the looks of a cascade but would not over be upset if I couldn't achieve that.
