Bottle Brush I got from a nursery to practice potting on. Suprised to find this root under surface. It has not died yet :huh: looks like it might actually bloom.

They are used for bonsai, but I'd say it is too soon to call it a potensai. That doesn't mean it doesn't have the potential - actually, that's the only thing it does have at the moment, if you know what I mean. As usual, it's going to take long to grow it into something that has bonsai potential.

I assume you did not practice the potting yet?

Yes I did practice...this was in a green nursery pot to start off with. I trimmed it and dug the roots out a bit....unnatural for a gardener like myself to dig at the root ball like that when repotting. Goes against what I ever learned about repot ting plants so I was probably a little more timid than I could have been....

If you were trying to create a mallsai, you succeeded.
Why the stones? Why such a small pot for a plant that needs lots of growth?

The stones are to keep the soil from washing away....this was just practice Auk...I will repot in a bigger pot and let it grow out.
