I've found one, it's a bit bigger than usual but I've just chosen it becaus this is the first time it goes into a bonsai pot ;)'

Size of the tree: 8,7inch high (22cm), 11,8 inch wide (30cm), and the thickness of the trunk is 1 inch (2,5cm).

Size of the pot: 9,8/6,7/7,1 inch (25/17/18 cm).

No, but there were these tokens on (on both pots). Someone knows what they stand for?

I've asked people to translate it, but it was hard to translate, but I think too it is the mark of the maker, and it's in chinese, because this is a chinese pot. I hope someone can translate it for me. It's always great to know who made your pot. So if someone have an idea, tell me! :)

Btw, this evening I'm going to repot him. So more pictures will follow.

I've repotted my Juniper yesterday, it's now in a big trainingspot with 50% bims and 50% akadama. It's now out of the sunlight only morning sun, and this year I'm not going to wire it. In about 3 weeks I'm going to start fertilize it again with biogold (12 pieces per 2 months).

If someone have suggestions, please say! Oh and the right branch I didn't cutted that off, because I like the composition how it is, most trees in nature have 2 branches at the same height too.. :)

haha, it is not so big, but in this pot it can grow and thicken up the trunk a bit and later on I'll put it into his last pot, a lot smaller than this one. Now I've a lot time to find the best final pot for it, I'm really happy with it already :)
