Treat the watering and soil like a pine (they like it a bit drier than other trees) and the pruning like a tropical (lots of sun in summer and they'll grow crazy) and you should be golden!
I think my first soil mix might've been too heavy on the organics. I had a little stint where I was trying that around that time. It failed in pretty much all the trees I tried it on.
I really like the pot for your olive tree! I have an olive I've been meaning to finally move from its training pot to a proper bonsai pot, but I think I'll wait until the end of the cold season to finally tackle that. Funnily, mine also had one growth season it which it didn't really grow much
Thank you! My original plan was to give it a few more years before moving into a bonsai pot. But, I sort of decided this year that I was tired of looking at tons of Pre-Bonsai in ugly training pots and was going to move a bunch of them into real pots. And when I dig this little brownish/maroonish colored pot out, it seemed perfect!
That's sometimes true. Other times not. I've always heard that same thing but in my experience, it oftentimes just leads to thicker roots. Once the roots finally start to reach their limits, that's when the trunk starts to thicken up. So in a way, bigger pots can actually take longer to thicken up a trunk. But again, only sometimes.
Nice! I probably should've let mine grow another 2 or 3 years too. But, this year I resolved to put more trees in bonsai pots than training pots. I have so many, I may as well look at them in nice pots, even if it slows down the process overall. Who knows, next year I might change my mind again. 😁
@@BonsaiBoise I know exactly what you mean dude. I right away feel the need to put them in nice pots. It has its pros and cons. I like the slower more maintainable growth. And I just like mame and shohin sized trees
@@RajmahendraR Actually I do have a few videos of my growtent that I got from Amazon. At one point I also lived in an apartment so that was about all I could do.
The olive tree is doing well!
It was a slow start but it finally took off!

Sometimes I think we put Plants into a Bonzi pot Too early, If you want the trunk to get larger You need to put it in a bigger pot and let it grow.

Exactly what I was thinking.
@@BonsaiBoiseThe trunk thickens with the amount of leaves it has to supply.
Nice dude I got one from Aldi! I just up potted mine to grow it out some before putting it in a bonsai pot
