Training n Potting the plant

Potting the bonsai plant,is done in a clay pot.The drainage hole in the bottom of the pot should be covered witha plastic mesh.Cover the bottom portion of the pot with small pebbles, or with rough sand.Then slowly
open the plant from wild,remove the cover and wet sand around root ball and slowly cut off the roots or trim.Then plant it with soil andmanure.Finally water the soil and the plant,keep it in shade for some days until
the plant recovers from the shock.After 10 days slowly and gradually expose to sun.Likewise less watering is dangerous to the plant, even over watering is dangerous as it rots all the roots.Little training is required to the plant collected in wild, after 6 months it can be transferred in to a bonsai pot.
