I decided it was time to pot my PJF, but I’m now questioning the size of the pot I had available.... is this the correct size? What do you think?

Just because it is an Aussie tree doesn't mean that it is unsuited to a foreign pot or that it will be suited to a local pot.Thymetraveller wrote:Hmmmm......why use a Japanese pot for a native tree? There are plenty of fine producers here!

I also think the pot size is OK.
I do have 2 beautiful local made pots but I’m waiting for the right tree!Thymetraveller wrote:Hmmmm......why use a Japanese pot for a native tree? There are plenty of fine producers here!
Actually I agree with Thymetraveller here - the pot is mass produced either from Japan or Korea. It's a "safe" pot - You could plant a cactus in it and it would still "work."Thymetraveller wrote:Hmmmm......why use a Japanese pot for a native tree? There are plenty of fine producers here!
Thanks for your contribution and yes that’s a mass produced pot from Japan but I don’t consider my PJF a finished Bonsai or a tree I’m proud of so to me it doesn’t deserve any expensive pot yet... maybe one day who knows!Keep Calm and Ramify wrote:Actually I agree with Thymetraveller here - the pot is mass produced either from Japan or Korea.

Does it "work" - Yes. (but don't always rest on this sentiment)
Is it exceptional - No.
If it's all you've got, than use it till something better comes along & keep striving for excellence.
Thinking ahead, the pot may soon look much smaller once your fig starts to leaf out?
