Hi all.
I've had my ficus bonsai for about 3 years.
I want to repot it into a ceramic bonsai pot as per attached images(have they displayed at all?)
Current pot dimensions are 16.5cm per 16.5cm
The new pot dimensions 15cm per 10cm.
Is it possible?
And another question. Apparently my ficus is growing high instead of being wide because the pot is too high.
Please advise and correct me if I am wrong.

The new pot will be ok. Less soil means more watering, and less growth. Just a headsup.

Gonne use this tactic, gonne take a super shallow wide pot, so i get super wide and short bonsai.
Just joking. If you want a wider bonsai, just wire the branches inplace. It has nothing to do with the pot being to high.

Thanks. I can't see the images I pasted on the mobile version of the website. . Can you? What to do to see them? I can see them on the desktop version only.
What about the hole (drain) at the bottom of the pot. Mine doesn't have one. Is it required? Apparently it is. Please advise

Yes, drainage hole is reqired.

No, bonsai pot dont have and positive effect on growth of a tree. If you are in development phase, bigger pot is better.

My pot doesn't have a hole. How does it affect my ficus?

Pot without holes is not possible to water correctly without killing the tree.

I've had this pot since the very beginning. How come it's not dying.?

Three years in an undrained pot is really impressing. Please share a picture of the tree.

My comment was on correct bonsai watering, which is "watering until it drains out the drainage holes". And that is not possible without drainage holes:)
