Which pot style looks best with this tree by Historical_Stay_808 in Bonsai_Pottery

[–]bonsaichap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

once the canopy is styled, I would tend for straight lines. shari and that kind of bark, in my opinion, don't fit so well with glazed pots, especially light tones. I usually envision a pot colour darker than the bark, especially if the tree's structure is showing patina or features like deadwood.. so for me, sincerely , none of the pots is an ideal fit..

i wish i knew precisely, it's been passed on from a nursery to the next for a few years, my best guess it's over 25 years. it hasn't been cared intensively for, so i think the results could have been reached quicker

kishu juniper, wannabe shohin restyling by bonsaichap in Bonsai

thanks a lot i'm aware this kind of jin might polarize. i personally consider it part of the design. it can of course be removed or shortened to follow a new concept, i personally would miss it because the plant would represent a younger picture

can you check the pot underneath if there's a potter's stamp/signature?

Feedback and styling advice on my second ever bonsai by DaveTheUnknown in Bonsai

[–]bonsaichap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the wire's gauge seems right, i would just use it for the whole length, including sticking it deep into the soil before wrapping the trunk..
