I really enjoyed this dive into Bonsai! I'm less familiar with them and their genealogy, and curious how/why they remain so tiny without their roots bursting through the pots?

The pot is stronger than the roots. But you do have to repot to a bigger pot once the root ball fills the current pot. But it usually takes two years to several years to fill a pot with roots.

I'm so fascinated. I am 55 seconds into this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxg-N7Ld3H0

And I am going to emerge in 10 minutes with more info about Bonsai than I intended for my week. Thank you!

Bonsai are so mystical... you expect petite fairies, frogs and princes to be living in their branches.
