One of the trees Peter W. looked at on his visit here was this Rhododendron Blue Diamond. I posted about the changes made here.
Peter suggested a pot change, this one was always just a stop gap until I could get something more suitable. He suggested a bag pot and I had a quick virtual play around with a few that might be suitable just to see how it looks.
This is how it looks now.
Virtual Pot 1 Glazed Pot
Virtual Pot 2 Matt pot
Virtual Pot 3 Something a little different
Virtual Pot 4 Something a very different, tried it but no!
Give it a pot yourself 🙂

I like the first one marginally best , second looks a nicer pot but just a touch too shallow ? I actually quite like the one you said no to , worried that the roots might dry out on that last photo 🙂

I like pot 3, although I’m partial to that style in general. Pot 4 would also be an interesting choice, I think the scalloped edges complement the trunk and branch curves. I think the main branch also does well with pot 4 because the feet raise up the pot and it increases the feeling that the main branch is really stretching out, like over a cliff. I think pot 4 would be perfect if you had any considerations of eventually dropping the main branch down into a semi-cascade, or even to the point where the bottom of the pad would be even with the lip of the pot.

You make some great points there. That’s what I love about virtuals, you can play around with all options and seek advice. A few more to come over the next few days 🙂
