Hi, could anyone let me know is this bonsai going to be okay potted like this or does it need to be deeper planted into soil?

Thanks

The fine roots seem to be under the soil so that’s ok. It’s a bit a matter of taste, but I would have planted it a bit deeper.
And I’d remove those pebbles, they prevent you from seeing the soil so you can not evaluate if the plant needs water.
Btw, you are not placing this tree inside I hope?

Thank you for you reply!

I was hoping the pebbles will help with keeping the soil in the pot while being watered?
No this plant will be kept outside getting quite a bit of sun.
Thanks again

What kind of soil did you use ? Normal potting soil will tend to “wash off” in the beginning, and is not a good choice cause it remains very wet. The coarse substrate most of us use doesn’t wash off (well anything washes off when you use a power washer, but you know what I mean)and aerates the roots very good.

Thanks mate,

This is what I’m currently using

.... might be a bit clearer if you’d show us what’s ín the bag...
These commercial premixed “bonsai” soils have usually too much organic components

But it all depends on your local climate
