I also intend to keep mine in a pot and reasonably sized. Personally, for my style of trees in pots, I favour letting trees "do what comes naturally", with minimal shaping. My best tree is a cedar that I put in a 'tufa' stone about 10 years ago and I've never pruned it at all - it is still less than six inches high. Sometimes I'm convinced that a tree would look better for a branch off here or a bend there, but it isn't something I do routinely. To my taste most "bonsai" that I've seen look too shaped or plain ugly, especially the garden centre ones that have been grown fairly large and then hacked off a few inches above the ground! With the Wollemi, I received it at the turn of the year and it has been inside near a glass door, more or less north-east facing, so no direct sunlight yet, but plenty of light. I soaked it once, about 3 weeks after it arrived and it seems that's about the right frequency for it's position, as it seems the top of the soil (covered with bark mulch) is starting to dry out now (5 weeks after arrival). I think I will move it out onto the patio outside, still shaded from direct sun, in early spring and gradually move to semi-shade with some sun position. What do you think?
