Hi all !
I'm based in the uk and had a Japanese maple shipped to me today , the sender didn't really seal / package the tree very well at all and then used a pretty useless courrier service .
Basically so much soil was out the pot and the tree had completely shifted in the pot , wasn't wired...
My Chinese Privet wasn’t vigourous at all this spring, so I decided to emergency repot to get an eye on the roots (it’s normally very vigorous this time of year)
It was ridiculously root bound, so I did some pretty serious root pruning and a repot.
After a few waters, I’m worried the pot might...
Repotted this parsoni juniper in March after the last cold week into a pond basket and into inorganic soil from its nursery pot.
Last summer I did some basic styling but havent touched the foliage since.
Foliage is stiff, not growing any new shoots, not much browning at tips, but seems...

I have several seasons of experience with bonsai now, but 18 months or so ago came into possession of a fairly scruffy ~50 year old Abies koreana. I did some pruning last year, mostly of dying material and to start bringing in the out-of-control apex (see pre-work pic). I have also been careful...
Hi all, I was traveling and just got home to my trident, ready for spring! I did intend to repot this one this year. I’m growing it out in an Anderson flat and it’s been three years or so, so I expect it to need some heavy root work. Am I too late?
I have this punica granatum nana, I wanted to repot, from what I noticed researching the best time is the end of winter, early spring, when the tree is sprouting.
However, it's still two months before winter's over but it looks like it's already sprouting. When should I perform the repot, now or...
Hi All,
I have this Azalea bush in my yard that I believe has a lot of potential to be a very unique, old bonsai with a few years of rehab. I live in 5b, but this bush is planted right next to the house in a brick built-in garden box... been here long before I bought the house. I think due to...
6 days ago I was at Lowe's to get some potting soil and couldn't resist the price of their "bonsai" trees. I got a fukien tea. I know everyone hates them but I couldn't resist for only $20 and I previously had one for 1 year that did well until I moved. I live sort of close to Houston, TX, zone...
Wife got me my 2nd tree from the same old lady and her van on a St. corner. It’s a healthy little tree but I want more tree. Can I just use a cheap black plastic pot that all my other gardening plants come in. Like a 1 gallon? Or do I need something fancy like I see on AmericanBonsai.com?
Also...
I’ve never had an issue with this Brazilian Raintree I’ve had it for about a year and just recently I have started to water with a pan underneath it which was not allowing the water to drain completely for up to a day at a time then the tree started to not open sleeps all the way in the daytime...
I collected this cottonwood last spring and it is EXPLODING with growth this year. I have it in 100% field soil from where I collected it. I am wondering does anyone have any experience with transitioning these to bonsai soil?
How are they with root disturbance?
Any other advice would be...
