Tie Pot (Part 2) - Fantastic Air Pruning Bonsai Pots !!!

In this part 2 video of Tie Pot, I explain extra benefits of the pot & also show two of my trees being planted into them. 




Tie Pot is great not only for bonsai but also for growing orchids, cactus & succulents, since the pot has excellent drainage & aeration. It is a large-sized, lightweight & strong pot and can be used for various gardening needs. It can even be used as a hanging pot. Orchid pots (both terracotta & ceramic) of equivalent size, are heavy & expensive and hence, Tie Pot provides a nice alternate solution.

Tie Pot (Part 1) - Fantastic Air Pruning Pots For Bonsai !!!

My unboxing & review of Tie Pot, a fantastic air pruning bonsai training pot (plastic), from Austria, Europe. It is designed & sold in Europe, by my friend Jens Lindworsky, who is a potter, bonsai artist and now a businessman too. I am fortunate enough to get my hands on these pots & be one of the first people to review this pot.

 

 

 

The 2 main benefits of this pot are : 

1) Knobs for tying down branches & 

2) Air pruning of roots, for obtaining dense radial roots, by preventing root circling, a common problem in the nursery industry.

Ficus Root Fusion Bonsai Update

Tree species : Ficus Religiosa / Peepal Tree
Root cutting taken on : May end, 2018

This is Part 4. Read Part 1 , Part 2 & Part 3

My first root fusion project is onto a good start & has grown vigorously in the last 1.5 months. This video shows defoliation and spreading of the branches for better light penetration, to help the new & tender branches to grow stronger. Everyday, i rotated the pot so that all sides get good growth.
