Is it ever a wrong time to go from a bonsai pot back into a larger pot to thicken the tree??

what is itAsus101 wrote:You still need to lift it every two years, to root prune and keep the nebari in check. You then need 3 years after final lifting before you start work on it and put it in a smaller pot.

??? Without specific knowledge of the species involved I would regard that advice as rather over-cautious. Perhaps for some of the exotic conifers but it sounds a bit too cautious if we're talking about a fig, for instance.You then need 3 years after final lifting before you start work on it and put it in a smaller pot.

You simply cant dig and within 3 years have it in a bonsai pot.
