What are the “rules” for accent plants in traditional display? I have heard:
1. The accent gives seasonality
2. The accent contrasts the tree (e.g. flowers on an accent to compliment a non-flowering bonsai)
3. The accent is placed on the side the bonsai is directionally pointing to.
4. The accent should not be taller than the display stand for the main tree.
But I haven’t heard/read anything that explains:
1. What size should the accent be in comparison to the main tree, aprox. 1/3?
2. What are the “rules” for glazed/unglazed pots? Should they match the main tree (e.g. glazed main and glazed accent), or should they be opposite (glazed tree and unglazed accent)?
3. Should the accent be a different shape than the main tree, or the same?
Thanks!
