There’s a little segment here about pots. The style of your pot should match the style of your tree, same as the shape. Masculine trees get rectangular pots, feminine trees get round or oval pots. If your trunk diameter is 1/12 of the height of the tree, it’s feminine, masculine trees are 1:6 the height.
Glazed vs unglazed also has their own rules, I’m sure you can look it up.
Colour is also a big deal, lights and darks etc. Don’t ask me, I can’t even match my own clothes.
If all else fails, google your tree, punch images, match up a style similar to yours and then see what pot it’s in.
And then, ultimately, decide wether your gonna do the same or nah.
Then why did you post it?@Adair M hey I don’t even follow this, I plant my Shito s in Chinese teacups, my mames in beer cans and my shohins in coconuts
You have some nice trunks there, with some very good potential. I don’t care what you call yourself, but, as Adair is also stating, We don’t need to dilute good teaching with bad.You can expect more detailed photos + some more trees next fall, after first styling ...
I can also change my avatar name, if that bothers you so much, guys, and replace it with my real name. Can't find an option to do so btw.
With best regards,

Every time I hear someone yelling, “I don’t care about the rules! Rules don’t apply to me! I am an artist!” I am reminded of my toddlerIf i need to wire a bonsai into a pot, then that kind of pot is too small for my taste. Simple as that. Securing a bonsai with wire doesn't suit my personality But that's just me.
Sorry, my bad, I didn't mean to teach anyone. Sure, i completely agree with you, IF we are talking about shallow classical bonsai pots. But with deeper pots (that's what i like for my bonsai trees, not only for cascade ones) that seems almost impossible: how do you wire a tree into something like this:It is good teaching to wire trees into Bonsai pots. Period. It is bad teaching to suggest it isn’t necessary. Period.

Exactly the same way, just with longer wires. It’s just as important to secure trees that are cascading like these.Sorry, my bad, I didn't mean to teach anyone.

These 2 are not bonsai from my collection btw. Pot on the second picture is something i prefer for my bonsai trees ... I just can't help my self: i like bigger pots, hate me for my "ignorance", if you want
Nice trunks, some interesting movement and nebaris...Not sure, if this is the right place, but ok, why not. Keep in mind that these are all pre-bonsai trees from very bad amateur photographer :

Yet, you want me out of the thread... like my toddler, cant face criticism ???I am yelling?
I don't care about the rules?
What rules?
Are you sure you've quoted the right person?
It looks like i should move away from this thread. I am not a conflict person.
Actually, the deep cascade pots aren’t used much any more. Instead, cascade trees are potted in pots that are only about as deep as they are wide. Why? Because it’s impossible to have consistent root quality in the tall cascade pots. The top can be wet, but the soil in the bottom of the pot is dry. Or vice versa. And, if the tree gets potbound, it’s really, really hard to get the tree out of the pot.Sorry, my bad, I didn't mean to teach anyone.
