Potting Help Please

[BonsaiJim]

I just today purchased my first tree. I would like to clean it up and then repot. Could someone please give me an idea what type of pot may go good with this tree?

The pot is 12 x 9 x 2.

I have seen a few from Lang which I really like.

Any advice you could give will be helpful.

Thank you,...

Well, which ones do you like? It's your tree...Would help to get an idea what you have in mind.

I just googled 'bonsai pot ficus' and filtered for images. Might be a good starting place for ya.

Because of the linear lines of the trunk and the aerial roots, I would choose a simple oval-shaped pot, perhaps with a yellow glaze. We don't know the size of your tree, but this is what I'd probably choose. Since this is your first tree, no use getting a show-quality pot. No offense, but most first trees end up mangled, if not dead, because the tendency is to take care of them too much.

I have no help to offer, but congrats on your first tree! Enjoy it!
