Well the flowers on my Wrightia religiosa didn’t last very long. It has pretty much been raining here in Florida for the past 4 weeks, and the flowers just didn’t get a break. However since the flowers were gone I got a chance to make a few changes to this tree. First thing was to remove the red glazed bonsai pot that it was in. It was a temporary pot until I found something more suitable.
Wrightia religiosa - new pot
I have had this bonsai pot for years, but never found the right tree to put in it. If you review my posts your see that I had a Ficus Too Little, A winged Elm, and probably a few other potted in it. However I like the match up with this tree and this pot.
After repotting, I had to wire out the tree a bit. I wanted to open it up and expose the large trunk a bit. Remember when this tree blooms, they hang down past the bottom of the branches so I want the rows to be stright and well defined.
Lastly, while attending one of Boon’s intensive training classes he said that when you repot a tree you should put it in a different pot. I like this idea because the pot will bring on a all new look altogether. That’s the kind of thing that really motivates me.
