Bonsaify | Repot or Not? Midseason Health Check on 3 Older Bonsai

[@patriciatatich3014]

Appreciate your approach and being honest with the needs of trees that need recovery time thru slip-potting, re-potting and an appropriate soil mix. 👍

[@michaelmott7402]

Those are nice looking trees for starters and I’m sure that bye this time next year they will be happy and beautiful. Like your video’s ,your technical skills in the way you are analyzing shape and form. Thank you for all you do to help us who are not so experienced or talented in the field of Bonsai.

Oh my! That ficus is so cool, can't wait to see the next one

Nice sharing videos 👍

Always great content Eric 🙏

[@BONSAIenCORTO]

Great decission. Thanks for sharing.

That field elm is looking great, I can tell you field elms are hard to kill (at least here in Germany) and they grow very vigorous… I don’t want to exaggerate to much but mine is trimmed back about 5 times per season because it produces so many flushes of growth ! Thanks for the content.

I just checked the rootball today and it's got roots coming out all over the place since I did this repot. The leaves still look bad, but if the roots are happy it wont matter!

Thanks, Eric. Appreciate your videos very much.

Enjoy your videos. I moved from San Jose to Merced area. All the Silicon Valley nurseries I knew shut down. Where is a decent nursery? I have not been to big tree shop in Gilroy but wonder if you know any out here?

[@Bonsaify]

Actually, I think there is more going on down in Fresno / Visalia area than in San Jose or Gilroy. Round Valley Nursery is one that comes to mind - but I'm not sure he's doing retail...perhaps. Also - in October in Santa Nella there is the GSBF rendezvous. Or come to the Pacific Expo Nov 12-13th in Oakland!

[@stevevaughn2040]

@@Bonsaify Thank you, I will see about going to the expo.

The ficus already looks a million times better.

[@borismaiorov3358]

how to do you ensure the water penetrating the compacted root ball? I imagine very little will go there, while having a free draining substrate around it. Immersion?

[@Bonsaify]

It being under a layer of soil keeps it from drying as quickly. But this is a stop gap measure. The tree will be repotted in about 4 months properly. Meanwhile the roots running through the fresh soil will increase the metabolism of the tree.
