Not done yet, but paused for dinner

 

[WIlliam_Butler_Yeets]

(technically not today) started a half bare-rooting a la Tom Fincel on my red pine and changed the potting angle

 

[shimbrypaku]

Repotted and root pruned some JM rooted cuttings.

 

[pandacular]

I repotted a dwarf rhodie I got from a nutter. Cool old pot, which I tied down the old fashioned way.

These skinny Kaneshin pliers (model S-2) rule.

 

[Brain Treez]

Went to a club workshop where I got some advice on and started potting down my bargain bin Kingsville boxwood. Trunk is about 1" wide above the root flair. Not bad for $15, eh?

 

[Fidur]

Today, I repotted a callistemon "mini red"



This is it 2 years ago, when I bought it and chopped



Also, repotted this chinese elm:



And here are both laying in my garden:

Putting this little JBP in a Bigei pot.

 

[Japonicus]

Pulled Katsura from overwintering to cut whips off and start some thinning.

 

[INDIGO-STEVE]

Repotted my first tree of the season.

 

[Deep Sea Diver]

Helped take big Shishigashira maple out of box and repotted the tree with new front. (Sorry no images yet)



Built the box four years ago out of scrap wood and it is still functioning properly. For scale the drain holes are 1.25” in diameter

Then helped report three mame/shogun Satsuki, Maple and plum.

Cheers

What about sharing to a friend? Maybe next weekend you can show me a few photos in person.

I don’t know that I’ve seen this one, but will be keeping an eye out for it.

Today I didn’t do any bonsai work! After repotting 10 trees in the week, I needed to rest my chopsticking shoulder. I was however pictured in my teacher’s blog, which should satisfy the tax man.

My water jasmine set three seed pods last summer. One of them popped today. Going to see if they will sprout. Not that I need more tropicals, just can help myself...

The chojubai and hinoki that I got had their pots jostled around too much during shipping and are very loose in the soil. That means they need a repot and will be starting a little early this year under lights in the basement.
Repotted the chojubai and made sure to do a four point tie down. Hopeful pot and backup pot were prepped.

Had to go with the backup pot. I'm often a little sad about the state of the roots of material I get from bonsai nurseries. I hope it will be better than garden center plants.

Yep, I noticed the same in the plant I got from IB. Also did the same (just substitute garage for basement) as I already had lights, heat mats and whatnot for some other early risers.

 

[ForThemWhatCare]

Repotted some trees

Burning Bush. If you haven't tried a Burning Bush. Don't. One flush of growth a year, have to be very careful with wiring and all you really can do to develop it is cut-n-grow.



Someone's Dwarf holly bush I got last year and stuck in a pot (after cleaning up some branches). Roots were a mess. Not sure if I did too much or not enough on the roots but I'll see what happens.



My son gave me this pot and this tree (3 years ago when I first started). I did know how to take care of the roots when I put it in the ground and now the base has probably a fatal flaw. But I'll keep it because it is sentimental. Oh, and it has a second smaller trunk behind the main trunk that the camera didn't pick up.

It feels like this

 

[INDIGO-STEVE]

Re-pot #2 and #3 of the season

 

[19Mateo83]

I repotted my valvanis koto home today. It was seriously pot bound after only one year in its old pot. I decided to give it a little room to stretch her legs a bit.

 

[rustygarden]

Amongst other things I repotted this hunk of wood .

Not having a garage has been rough but I make due with a shed and a cold basement.
Potted up a leftover juniper cutting from the aeroponic propagator.
