Help With Pot Selection
I bought this Arboricola mallsai at Walmart yesterday. I plan to repot it but I'm not sure what kind of pot I should use. The tree is growing on a piece of driftwood that's hard to see in this picture. Can anyone help with some advice on the type of pot I should use?

ONLY artistic talents...

Gilbert,
It really is hard to see the driftwood, because I don't see a picture at all.  Could you try posting it again, please. Zeb

Excellent scheff Gilby...
Are those rocks glued? Best thing with those if they are is to get rid of em. Replace with another topping of choice. Gravel or whatever. I am sure you heard this bit already. I can imagine this tree in a shallower oval, of a dark blue glaze. The driftwood is great. I lightened the pic up on my photo editor. I would try to encourage some aerial roots. Mist it daily, or keep the humidity high around the tree. I have put my scheff's into clear produce bags for about a month, keep it misted and sealed. This will have the thing shooting roots all over the place. Just pick and choose the ones you want. Paul

Dark blue or dark green, shallow, oval or rectangular. I might tend toward the rectangular with the driftwood. I know some people don't like dark green, but I like it. Get rid of those white rocks.
Nice find for Wal-Mart. Maybe I'll check our local store out and see if they have any. (What am I saying! I don't haven't anywhere to put my indoor bonsai now. LOL) Earl |
