The importance of selecting the right pot to plant your Bonsai in is often underestimated. The pot (as well additions like grasses, moss, stones, figurines and a bonsai table) are important elements of the composition, and should be chosen carefully to display the tree.

The pewdiepie of bonsai! Love the video.

[@DaeOh]

what I learned from this video: the depth should be about the same as the trunk's diameter

Being a newcomer to bonsai, I have a question on the pot design - Why do bonsai pots have huge drainage holes ? Instead of 1-2 big holes, why can't they have many small holes (the ones meant for wires) and thus, avoid a mesh screen completely ? The drainage speed would remain the same in both cases, because the total area of holes can be kept same. A big hole forces the use of mesh screens and metal wires.

[@iqbalyozanda1207]

I think big hole for optional considering the media you use, and the climate on the location.
Or maybe the root can escape easily when you put it on the ground. So you can grow your bonsai while build the nebari.

The bonsai soil contains of a lot of small “stones” and they would block the small holes.

[@sky1arks995]

I recently learnt that part of the holes function is to increase air circulation, bringing oxygen to the roots. Apparently roots respirate. Thats why plants in densely packed soil medium grow slowly/stunted, and roots swimming in old water die; they're cut off from oxygen.
If you don't have the holes a way to fix it would be small gravel rock, or porous rock such as pumice/perlite.

NICE VIDEO!

Does anybody know where I can buy those "cheap chinese pots" pictured in 0:45? I've searched high and low but found nothing.

[@lumiliyabnaapoy4283]

China apperently

I'm wondering something; I have a Ficus that has a higher pot, maybe about 10cm, which is OK. But it's planted in one of those red-orange plastic containers and then into a pot. So, in effect its soil and the roots are also in that shape of the inner plastic container. - Is it OK or even possible to re-pot it in a lower and wider pot? I'm just not sure if rearranging the tangle of roots is that doable.

[@jesperFrost]

Michael Angelo H. You come out the roots with a fork and cut the roots to fit the shape of the new pot. There are lots of videos about root pruning. I can recommend videos by Nigel Saunders from k w bonsai.

[@michaelangeloh.5383]

Thanks. I'll check it out. :)

[@jesperFrost]

Michael Angelo H. Check this one out, good luck.

What species is the tree at 1:00 ?

[@justforfun-fk4tc]

Ficus tree

[@utamaasepbonsaicutting3711]

👍👍👍

[@fcsantiel]

I just use any pot I find in goodwill for less then $5

[@71160000]

I've done the same thing but I use any ceramic bowl that is shallow. I bought a set of diamond hole saws for $15 and drill the holes in the bowls easily without breaking them. I don't care what color the bowls are as I've found rustoleum paint and primer in a gloss navy spray can gives all the pots a nice blue/black glazed appearance.

Now, made in china 😅😅😅
