The way to enjoy beautiful bonsai pots for the person who has never done bonsai (1)

Hello, I am Yuki, an owner of the Japanese bonsai pots online store YUKIMONO.

If you got a beautiful bonsai pot, what would you do?

Though you could enjoy it just as a piece of art decorating your room, you would probably want to plant something in it. 
Even if you have never done bonsai or are just a beginner, you could have fun with your pot as a piece to create beautiful harmony with plants.

This is my advice to enjoy bonsai pots for the person who hasn’t done bonsai.

●Don't think a bonsai pot must always have a tree

First, please don’t think that a bonsai pot must always have a tree in it. 
It seems that many bonsai enthusiasts think bonsai should be growing a (Japanese-style) gorgeous tree in the pot, however I believe that bonsai is just natural scenery expressed with plants and pots.

●Enjoy in your way

Second, the most important thing is to enjoy yourself with the plants around you.
When I get a beautiful pot, I often ponder what type of tree or plants will suite it. Sometimes I go to a gardening store to get a seeding of the flowering plant and plant it in my pot.

●Some seeding of flowering plants are easy to grow

Third, to start with, and If you have no bonsai-related-person around you, I think it would be good for you to enjoy with some seeding of flowering plants that are easy to grow. 
For example, in winter I think Pansy, Viola, Garden cyclamen (small cyclamen)......would be nice.

If it is possible, please try to choose a smaller seeding plant that would be a good fit for your pot.

I know there are many people who aren’t bonsai enthusiasts but enjoy bonsai pots in their own way. Some people put some succulents nicely in a bonsai pot and other people plants small glasses in miniature pots.

Hope you fill your pots with plants and enjoy them in your own way.

I put a pansy seeding of plant in a lovely bonsai pot made by Shuuhou. It is definitely a kusamono bonsai!
