Do you need a special pot or soil to plant the Japanese bonsi?

First of all the seeds did not germinate. None of them. For a bonsi you definitely need soil that would be a part soil part sand and part volcanic rock. This combo has worked for all my bonsi plants

I'm an arborist and no you don't need anything special just put some gravel at the bottom of a container that has drain holes

If your pot is bigger than the spread of the leaves, I would say yes. The spikes are supposed to be inserted into the ground/dirt at the drip line (edge) of the tree.

I don't use decorative pots outside the slotted pot. Some orchids need light on their roots.

You could, but all the basic nutrients (NPK) are in grow big and tiger bloom, with big bloom providing micro nutes and everything in between. I add cal mag because tomotoes are prone to fugus attacks and the calcium helps. You could add protek which provides silica and prevents wilting, esp with tomotoes wieghing down the plant. Sometimes i also add great white benefical fungi/bacteria when i start the seedlings to help root growth as well.

You don't plant them. They're air plants and they don't need soil. You just put them in clear bowl or terrarium.

Yes there is. I used them as party favors so guests could have something that lasts. I provided the soil and seedlings as well. I used a hot clue gun to cover the holes as I didn't buy the little plates to go with the pots and it worked perfectly fine.

If I remember correctly, this plant does not come in a pot. Transfer it to a pot with some good soil and keep it in the warmest room in your house. Keep the soil just a bit moist until spring. Plant it outside when there is no longer frost in the morning.

yes, however it would be best to add some fresh soil along with the Azomite. mostly houseplant soils are tired.

They come with potting instructions. I planted the stock in Miracle Gro cactus, palm and citrus soil in a 6" pot. Watered very well. Did not water again until the soil dried out. I plan to repot them to a larger pot later on. I have read they will maintain to the size of pot they are planted in. All four of mine are doing very well.

sandy soil is preferred......one inch rain a week is needed(water) but do not over water or trunk will rot..plant near windows as they have strong fragrance and u will enjoy on breezy days....for cloning use rockwool plugs(google or Amazon "rockwool")....lol.............."The Toad".............Out....

Hello, Yes I went to their website and found "some" instructions: http://japanesemaplesandevergreens.com/planting-pruning-and-care/ Just get it in the ground ASAP. I purchased two of these vines and they are doing fine!

This is a potting mix enhanced with fertilizer. The fertilizer in the soil feeds for 6 months, so no additional plant food is needed.

I gave the one I bought to my dad and it died, but it was probably his fault as he doesn't know much about bonzai. Neither do I really. I have a small juniper bonsai tree that is fun to work with. I think this tree could be grown indoors all year round if it was by a bright window all the time and maybe you might even have to supplement with a plant light.

You will probably want a clear plastic pot. It is easier to see the health of the roots and repot at a later date. Also, I would hazard a guess that the plastic pot has better drainage than the ceramic one.

I couldnt get it to work in soil. But if you could get it to actually work, I dont think it would matter if it is soil in pots or soil outdoors

I have owned this product since early spring and used it throughout the summer. A couple of weeks ago, I took out my spring/ summer plants and emptied it completely. Then, I put all new soil in so I could plant a mum and some pansies. In other words, this information is fresh in my mind. I bought a 2 cu ft bag of Miracle Grow's Garden Soil, and used ALMOST the entire bag. I had just enough left over to fill a couple of pots. So, my answer is that this requires a little less than 2 cu. ft. Hope that helps!

I am not an expert, but I purchased a book from amazon entitled "bonsai for beginners." It has been a great help. The book does depict various grooming and the need to upsize the pot after significant root growth. Get the book. It was a penny plus 3.99 shipping and handling.
