# And progress. I definitely need to work on my gentility because two…

_Posted by Tony on 2025-07-03_

And progress. I definitely need to work on my gentility because two more branches broke! 🤣 Honestly though I think it looks better now than before anyway. Once the growth season ends I will repot it in this lovely blue ceramic pot at the angle shown, on the right side of the pot. Thoughts?? P.S. sorry for the bad pics lol

That's developing beautifully. I like the angle and pot color

It is and I'm relieved for it haha. Not that I was actively worrying, but you know...I bought the pot before I even had the plant, serendipitous that it looks fantastic with the design!

Just be careful potting soil from the store has fine partials which will clump together when watering this is bad for bonsai. Since they need well draining soil. You can buy a civ but the easiest option is to go to a bonsai supplier and buy bonsai soil there but make sure you get the right one for your plant.🪴

Oh I have a bunch of sifted pumice, akadama, and lava rock waiting for the repot, never fear!
