Last weekend I repotted my Port Jackson fig from terra-cotta into a proper Japanese bonsai pot by Koyo. I started developing this tree from a sprig in January, 2015. For a progression of the tree from then to August 2020 see: https://beginbonsai.net/2019/03/31/port-jackson-fig-ficus-rubiginosa/
The tree today in its new pot.
The tree when first purchased in 2015.
The tree last weekend before defoliation and repotting. I had let the leaves grow large over the winter.
The back side of the tree.
Defoliated.
Pruned branch-tips as new bonsai starts.
Preparing the pot.
Roots.
Root-pruned.
Nice fit in pot.
Single wire to stabilize the tree in the pot.
The repotted tree last weekend. The wire on the trunk was to help fuse a small branch that split from the trunk to it. This weekend I replaced that wire with more substantial wiring and added a subtle curve to the upper trunk.

I haven’t been able to afford real Chinese pots for my bonsai, something I must find a way to do!

Yes, they can be expensive, but really enhance the trees!
