Pot now or Spring?
I have a boxwood that I put in a large flower pot his summer. I want to move it to a large plastic bonsai pot. I have already cut the roots and many limbs when I found it so it will be a simple move from one pot to the next. It is taller than what I want but will wait until spring to do any cutting. Is that a sure kill to re-pot this time of year?
Also I collected a nice pine today, about 2" trunk at the bottom and some nice movement throughout. Again it is too tall I think but has such good shape I may leave it as is. I was thinking of putting it in one of the large pots as well. I know not to do any cutting or wiring on it for at least a year but wonder about the bonsai pot for now as the trunk is the size I want. I have not ordered the pots, I found them on-line for $10.00 for 19x16. I figure this will be a testing pot, if the tress make it I will purchase a nice pot when the time comes for re-potting.
Keep LOOin Up!
