So, my little Elm is going to be repotted, mostly because I really hate this pot it was originally.
It was suggested to rotate it when repotting, and I would love to hear your opinions about the new position.

ORIGINAL (how it is today):



UP STRAIGHT (in new pot - Dramatic?)



SEMI-CASCADE (Han Kengai - My favorite)



What do you guys think it's best?

i like the semi-cascade. i think it really shows the truck movement.

nice little elm btw

This is the design (Han-Kengai) I like best. However, the new pot in which you are going to place the tree... I don?t specially like it either. Agree... The first one is not very fortunate, but the second it doesn?t feel right either... At least not in my eyes.

Well, it's not going to be repotted until spring here, September, so if you have any suggestions of a more suitable pot, I'm all ears!

I agree with Alain regarding the new pot. The amount of movement in the exposed roots and trunk of the Elm feel rather feminine to me, whereas the white/blue hexagonal pot is more masculine with it's hard corners and block-ish feet. You might consider a round, oval or lotus shaped pot or something with more "decorative" feet.

I too prefer the semi-cascade planting option.

Love it.Brown pot is excellent choice.

I would rotate it even more and go for full cascade even if the trunk needed a bit of violence
Nice potential good luck with it.

Yes, you are completely right. It has to be a feminine pot, it's true.
Thanks for commenting!

hahaha, that's Mimo "chop chop" talking!
I really don't want to snap the trunk leaving me with a bunch of dying roots!
But...
I'll get my courage together and will think seriously about doing it.
I'll let you know.

might be talking out of my behind but for some reason i can see this looking good in a brown non glazed pot
