Should I use a tall pot or a shallow pot for Australian fir?

1. What basin to use

During daily maintenance, both shallow and deep pots can be used, but it is recommended to use shallow pots for planting. This will make the bonsai more beautiful, increase the ornamental value, and reveal the intricate root system. If you use a particularly deep pot for planting, the plant will appear too short, but the pot cannot be too shallow, otherwise the thick roots will not be able to grow in the pot and it will easily grow poorly.

2. Other matters needing attention

1. Color: Because the plant has deep roots and is in the shape of a tree, you can choose a darker color so that it is not too abrupt. Of course, you can also choose a plain-colored flowerpot, which can serve as a good foil. However, you need to avoid choosing flowers with flashy colors, as this will make the overall look abrupt and not beautiful at all. Only by matching flower pots with suitable colors can the ornamental value of the bonsai be increased.

2. Size: The size of the flowerpot is also very important. It is not suitable to be too big or too small. If it is too small, the bonsai will look top-heavy and unstable. If it is too large, more water will accumulate in the pot, hindering the growth of the plant.
