Hi, all. I'm new here. I wanted to get a little insight on my new bonsai project. Bought it from a nursery in mid-March. Trimmed some of the excess branches and wired the main branch to sweep downward. After a few weeks of looking at it, made sense to me to go ahead and re-orient it so that the tree would actually grow in the cascade shape...
I started researching how to make a shari and landed on another video the guy had on getting a thicker trunk:
I switched from the shari to this because it seems like the tree needs to be a bit larger than it is now (the pot is only 7" wide). Josh in the video said that for thicker tree growth, you need to have the tree in a larger pot where the roots can grow and not be bound. My question is would it be safe to go ahead and make the switch when I basically just reset the tree a few weeks ago?
