Oleander Air Layer

[Carpenterb30]

This was an air layer I did from a bush at my work 2 years ago. This is the third summer and I just pulled it and teased the roots and repotted this spring. Very healthy roots. It just finished flowering so I pruned back to thicken and get some more ramifications. So far I'm happy. And I need to get a good pot. Any suggestions on pot styles or future growth and shaping. It is almost 3 ft tall i like the larger bonsai.

I have a potted Oleander, just because I like the flowers. I've never seen one as bonsai. I usually prune it in the fall. If you cut above a set of leaves, it will usually send out three more.

Yes they are great at splitting. Almost always 3 shoots from cuts.
