Repotting and root pruning bonsai: why, when, how? Why: Bonsai - TopicsExpress



          

Repotting and root pruning bonsai: why, when, how? Why: Bonsai trees do not require the large, woody, anchoring roots that trees in the wild need to prevent them from being blown over. It is necessary to develop a mass of fine ‘feeder roots’ close to the bottom of the trunk which will help the bonsai to take up water and nutrients more efficiently. • Repotting provides the tree with fresh soil, including fresh minerals and nutrients which may have been leached out by the watering process or successfully used by the plant • Repotting removes inefficient woody roots that have become too long and are taking up essential space in the pot • Repotting improves the air circulation around the roots by removing unnecessary roots and old compacted soil • When repotting we can work on and improve visible surface rootage
