There are countless articles and videos on how to choose the right pot for your plant.
Every bonsai beginner understands that food, light and water are essential for a plant's life. The advanced ones add about air, natural temperature fluctuations and the right choice of container for root growth.

The initial stage of bonsai growth

Generally, for the first 5-7 years, seedlings grow in training pots. The name is very accurate - it is training the plant for adulthood (root pruning, watering, annual repotting, changing the inclination of the trunk, branches and finally choosing the most spectacular side (face). It is also a training of your skills, a way to understand the plant that is to become a bonsai in years to come.

Challenge of Displaying a Seedling

And this is where the first questions begin - what to do if a 3-4 year old seedling grown, bought or obtained in nature needs everything at once, and on the other hand, you need to show your work to others. Without this there is no motivation, and it is supported solely by positive feedback.

The uninitiated ordinary person is not impressed by a wire-twisted and trimmed green creature in a plastic pot, so the reaction is usually close to zero. Some impression can still be created by showing a good tool, sounding Japanese-Chinese names and a lecture about the stages of root mass development.
Usually this is where everything ends: the life of the tree continues in an unrepresentable plastic container against the background of under-received admiration.

Creating solidity without harming the seedling

So how to create respectability of a seedling without harming it by premature pruning or transplanting?
Putting it temporarily in a beautiful bonsai container for the sake of occasional display is expensive, irrational and destructive to the plant.
However, the answer is very simple - to shift some of the public's attention from the tree to the container. But the container for this needs a special - double, in which the container with a seedling is placed inside.

Now, let's get this in order:
The first transplantation of the plant is not in an ordinary pot, but in a container with many holes (folk names: organizer, colander, basket) through which the flow of air to the roots increases many times, thereby accelerating their formation and growth. Otherwise, everything is as usual in the training box - holes for drainage and wire, mesh and high legs. A plant in such a container develops better than in a regular bucket.
The second container (shell) is made so that the first one fits freely into it.
