Transforming a Boxwood shrub into a bonsai tree

In this video I show I turned a regular $16.99 boxwood shrub into a bonsai tree. I found this tree at my local Lowes store, and I was amazed by how semi thick the trunk was with an interesting nebari. So I decided to give it a go. This tree was surprisingly easy to style but I was trying to be extra careful not to snap any of the thin branches. It definitely needed a repot, the soil was disgusting, it smelled like sewer water. Thanks for watching!

Did ya get Microphylla?? I dragged home one today from HD in a 3gal pot with an amazing bottom 4inches. Most of their junk was clumps and not a single trunk... Anyways, it's pretty hot in West texas to screw with it much now. Gonna try it in a spot for morning sun and shade in the afternoon.

Why didn't you use rubber pads on the tie-down branch wiring & on the trunk to keep it from digging into the wood?

Just found your channel. I have several small plants that I started from a cutting but my trunks are not too fat which look better. How do I get the trunks thicker ? I will keep the plant from getting bigger by trimming until the trunk gets thicker?

The only way to get the trunk to thicken is by letting the tree grow out with out pruning it. I would also either put the tree in a larger training pot or plant it on the ground. The natural soil is great for trees.
