Hi,
I have recently been given a Kokedama Chinese Elm, I would love to have this on my patio rather than indoors. And I would prefer it in a pot...
Is this possible?? And how do I go about It?
Thank you

Incredible -someone that wants his tree outside... ( 90% of the help questions is from people with dying trees inside,where of course they die)

So, your idea is the right one: it needs to be outside, preferably in the sun.
In a pot... you mean a bonsai pot?

Thank you for your reply. Ideally in a bonsai pot (although I am finding one hard to get hold of at the moment! Could it survive in a regular pot?)
Also will un-kokedama-ing it be easy??

Depends a bit on how green your fingers are- but now is not a good time to “repot”.

I would put it into a shallow plastic tray, with water in As it is summer I would leave removing it until next spring. It should not be too hard to remove it. Your problem will be keeping it sufficiently damp in summer, it is not easy I would have it in partial shade if you can in the heat of the afternoon.

Thank you both!

A pot is a pot. What is important is what is inside the pot. What we call bonsai pots are usually very shallow compared to other pots, but anything that holds dirt will keep it alive. I have trees outside in nursery containers, very large light clay pots, an old bucket with a hole cut in the bottom, all waiting for the day they get someone more like a bonsai pot.

Don't forget colanders for the pines

I am in Alabama, where pine is a four letter word. When names were being handed out, they were called pine because weed had already been used.
