Repotting

Repotting - All potted plants will eventually outgrow their containers. While houseplants need to be
"potted-up", that is, placed in larger and larger containers, the miniaturization of a bonsai trees is maintained by keeping the roots confined to the small container. On average, repotting will be necessary every 3-5 years, but the tree should be removed from its container and its root system inspected once a year. If the roots form a circular ball around the perimeter of the pot, it is time to trim the roots and repot.

When repotting remember to:
• Use only bonsai soil
• Remove air pockets by working the soil down through the roots
• Do not remove more that 20% of the root system
• Repot during the appropriate repotting season
• Water well and keep out of the sun for a week or two
