Hi,

I'm a gardener and pretty new to Bonsai.
Recently bought a few decent trees from Wyndcote Bonsai nursery UK. Currently three of them are in plant pots and I know they should maybe stay in these pots a while.

I'm keen to get them in Bonsai pots this season if possible.
What's the general advice on this, I'm apprehensive but excited to see them in the proper pots.

Anyway here are my new babies I love them.

Larix deciduous
Nothofagus antarctica
Crataegus monogyna
Lonicera nitida

Thanks in advance

Tom

Hello there! Welcome to the forum. Or welcome to crazy as @sorce would say. xD

Nice material you have there. If you are alredy satisfied with the thickness and the growth of your trees you could put them on a smaller pot. (Depending on the root system) Or maybe you will have to work on the roots for some time before putting them in bonsai pots.

Patience my friend.

Ah thank you, they do seem healthy nice plants. A lovely old guy ran the nursery on his own and it was a joy to meet him.

Regarding the Nothofagus antarctica, what pot would you advise for that? I've sat it in a bonsai round pot and it suits it but I'm concerned the lowest branch would be too close to the rim?

Would a cascade pot be move suitable for that shape of Bonsai?

It is the journey not the destination true

When I refered to the roots I wanted to say that usually we find lots of thick and long roots, which we would have to get rid of. And if there are not enough thin roots, you couldn't fit it inside a bonsai pot.

As for the cascade pot... I would personnaly not choose it.

But hey they are your trees and there is no right or wrong. (Well, there is if you want to follow the japanese style)

I mean, it would be fine if you want to shape it into the cascade style, if you leave it as it is it would fit better a semi-cascade pot, wich are less deep than the cascade pots. Maybe a round one.

But as I said, it is your call, you decide what you want to do.
