Hiya,

It sounds like the tree is still alive, although this is still not a guarantee.

When you wire trees in the pots, theres two methods, through the drainage holes - up inbetween the roots and over the surface roots, then twist it off. Or, on some bonsai pots theres small holes around the edge, these are for wire to come up through to tie the tree in the pot.

The pot should be larger than the intended 'Final' pot for the tree, this is to allow the tree to grow unhindered allowing it to develop, let's say, about the size of twice the size of the root ball as it is currently.

If you're going to take the tree out and pot it again, i'd suggest waiting until the correct time, and for now, just tie string or wire around the pot and tree.

-Matt-
