This little group was put together mainly to show people especially beginners how easy it is to do something like this. I even included the website as to where to purchase this kind of material. Since then I have broken the group up and decided to grow them as flat top bald cypress. I stumbled upon a few pics of this style and really like it. When I have time I will post a few pics.
As to lining the pot with plastic, no, I grow them like any other bonsai tree in the same kind of soil even. There is a myth out there that these trees need to constantly be in water. That is wrong for bonsai culture on these. It is true they can tolerate a lot of water, but not necessary as some are led to believe.
