Planting and Repotting Bonsai Trees
- During an initial plant, you should mix compost/fertilizer and high quality gardening soil
- Once the Bonsai is planted, it should remain in that pot until it reaches maturity.
- When Repotting(Every 3-5 years):
- Use only proper bonsail soil
- Make sure the pot it is in is capable of draining
- Roots should form a circular ball around the bot
- Remove air pockes by padding down the soil(not too tight though!)
- Water it frequently and keep it out of the sun for 1-2 weeks.
- Remember that it is the small bonsai pot that keeps the tree miniature. If put in a larger pot, the plant will grow larger itself. And no, you can't shrink it again.
