So I got this bonsai from Sam’s Club. It was buried in an 8 inch nursery pot of coco coir. I got the roots to fit in this with minimal trimming, but it seems rather small compared to the size of the tree
I would say get a bigger, deeper pot at least, at least a 10 in wide, 3 inch deep one

A good rule of thumb for creating balance is that the height of the pot should be about the same as the thickness of the trunk and the width of the pot should be around the same as the canopy of the tree.
So I think you could go with a little bit deeper pot and definitely much wider. 👍

No. But I kinda like how this tree is dancing on it.

Normally I’d say a bigger pot but in this case the tree design is so wildly energetic I think anything larger would detract from the tree itself. It reminds me of the dancing trees in old cartoons from nearly a century ago. What a wonderful find!
