Hey guys,
I just got this Itoigawa juniper prebonsai from internationalbonsai.com. I plan to let it grow for a few years, but the nursery pot has to go, I live in an apartment so growing in the ground is not an option, so I have a some questions:
A) Should I do root work and repot into a new container?
Or
B) Should I slip pot into a slightly larger pot?
Or
C) Slip pot into a same size container?
The soil it currently has is a mix of lava rocks, charcoal, pine bark and a couple other rocks that I don't recognize, maybe pumice.
The thing is that I don't have this mix available, I have perlite, pine bark, super hard akadama (the kind that is fired and you wouldn't be able to crush with your hands) and kiryuzuna.
