Mame pots on a mini pottery wheel

[Pitoon]

I REALLY like that medieval-looking one... with the big “smithy rivets”

Me too! It was almost a keeper, but it's going to a good home in Cali.

My favorite, which by the way is a hard task, would be the last one. Very space age.

I saved some JBP singles for myself to attempt some bunjin style mame. I hope they come out how envision them to be.

From my limited experience, when I put small seedlings in small pots they sloooow way down.

You getting into mame bonsai?

Lol, I bought a bunch of Chinese mame pots a few years ago and made some. The challenge is keeping them watered.

I bought a small case of Chinese mame pots too. Now I don't know what to do with them....too many pots!

There is a cool video posted by Bonsaify , where he has the pots sitting on a salkei planter that has soil substrate which acts as a method to not only thicken the trunks but also allowing roots to access more water when it leaves the mame pots down to the container underneath.

Thanks! It took two tries to finally make the pot with this texture.

Wow! You know how I love texture. Did you use the sodium silicate method?
