  2. A mix of 70% organic and 30% pumice in container basket

  3. Plant them in the ground

  4. root control bags in ground.

You get these at Bonsai-A-Thon?

I would say that root control bags with the 70% organic and 30% pumice would be ideal. Whether you can put them in the ground or not I still think they do the best job of producing the most fine root growth which is what absorbs water and nutrients.

A friend got them for me when she was at Bonsai A Thon.

Thats for the input I was already leaning that way.
