I'm a huge fan of Erin pottery pots, and recently purchased a few to try out some new ideas. The main purchase however was the pot for this particular PJ fig.
I was a little shocked when the pot first arrived, as it was MUCH smaller than the old pot this fig had been sitting in. But after my initial shock I had a brainwave and decided to try rest the bonsai on a mound of soil.
I'm kind of OK with it actually, as I've always enjoyed the look of Bonsai on mounds. Yet, as I've never done this before, maybe there are some things I'm not considering in the transition...?
Despite the obvious pruning requirements, what does everyone else think?
Mounds look pretty when covered with moss otherwise the soil just washes off 
. Then if the moss dries out it will repel water 
so you need to keep it damp and in a semi shaded area.
