I have a Japanese black pine bonsai that is suitable for Niwaki, its been in pots all its life.

Anyone got any tips?

Having a google, pulled this up regarding soil type..............
The soil must be moist but well-drained. Sandy loam is ideal; Japanese black pine does not tolerate soggy soil and poor drainage. It prefers acidic soil but can also grow in slightly alkaline soil.

A nice sunny spot.

I have heavy clay in my garden. I shosed a high elevated spot and used as composting spot for 5 years prior to planting. Just before planting I raised the bed with granite rocks and added a lot of sand and 2-4mm crushed granite. So far it is developing slowly but nicelly.
