Repotting my Ficus

Repotted Bonsai Ficus Retusa, June 21, 2008



I've been a bit slow posting this but I repotted my Ficus Retusa exactly a month ago now, on May 21. I understand that the pot is of equal importance to the tree in bonsai and I had been trying to do some reading on what style I should go for but I wasn't able to find anything that was much help to me.

In the end my choice of pot was based purely on my own judgment from the limited selection available in the shop. I'm not completely satisfied with the result and I still think the new pot is too big. Ideally I should have gotten one that was somewhere between the old and new one in size. (more)

I'm a 31-year-old Irishman, living in Dublin.

I bought my first seeds in July, 2007 on a spur of the moment when I wandered into a bonsai shop and this blog is my account of my experiences of trying to grow trees from seed.

In addition to my seedlings and cuttings I also own three grown bonsai; a ficus retusa, a serissa foetida and a ligustrum.
