Repotting A Split Trunk Cotoneaster Bonsai 🌳

[@kittenlang333]

Every time I watch a video, the whole time I'm telling the tv "look at that!" "Look what he did with that!" and "isn't that just amazing." The whole video, every video. Maybe now that I'm sharing, I'll start saying something else. I'll keep everyone posted. ✌🏼

Aww thank you 😊

Lol, you split, I fuse...😂 Grts Kennet

[@notionbonsai]

Hey Kennet! 😄 Thanks for watching!

[@CPILK]

Been waiting for the update on the split trunk. That's my favorite video so far - I'm glad to see the tree doing so well

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thank you so much! 😃 I do like this one too!! It should put on some good growth this year 😃🌳

[@joegarland4885]

Good to see back doing videos, I find cotoneasters make great little trees I have some in different styles, they are fun to work with, boy do we need to fun at the moment as the weather is not sure what season we are in, I have a maple in full leaf already plus a few not far behind. All the best with your trees

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

Nice! Remember this split trunk dude quite well. Do you think shortening one of the trunks would make the overall design more dramatic and impactful?

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thanks Joe! 😊 They sure are fun ones as they're so resilient and grow fast. Oh noo that's not good! I hope your trees are okay after this super early start! I have heard that some Azalea and rhododendron flowers are already wilting this time of year 😅

Great group of trees Adam! Love the split one!

Looking forward to it adam❤

Thanks man!

[@ThomasBarbarick]

Always a great video with information and guidance. What’s the plan for the split tree?

[@notionbonsai]

Thank you very much! I try to be as informative as possible! The plan now is to let the tree get healthy, grow like crazy and let the roots fill the pot before we prune again! 😀🌳❤

[@jakesnelling8331]

I always look forward to your videos! I think you could of squeezed that small one in the white pot. Be brave lol.

[@notionbonsai]

I could have!! I will try to get a nice Nebari first before downsizing 😀🌳❤

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Awesome video, super shots of the trees!!! Nice root work!

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thanks Nigel! 😁

[@DnHVid]

Cotoneasters are one of my favourite trees, great video! The little one with all the berries reminds me of an apple tree. Going to try and make a similar one myself. Than you for the inspiration!

[@notionbonsai]

Ah nice one Dennis! I hope it works well for you! Thank you for watching 😀🌳❤

Nice work. May I ask where you got your lava rock from?

[@howardmckeown7187]

Good video, Adam, is it ok to repot cotoneasters now in N Ireland even if they're not budding? Beginner, thanks

[@notionbonsai]

It's generally best to wait until they start showing signs of growth before repotting. 😁

[@howardmckeown7187]

@@notionbonsai Oooops! I repotted one because I saw your video

[@BEBern-vq6wk]

Update pls ❤🎉:)

[@victoriasatterthwaite6339]

You mentioned it being cold where you are - I'm in Philadelphia-PA-USA - we are still in winter we have been in the 40sF. Is it too early to repot before they really wake up? I have a Cotoneaster that is begging for attention. Thanks

[@notionbonsai]

Ahh Philadelphia can definitely get chilly in the winter! In general, it's best to wait until after the last frost and when temperatures consistently stay above freezing before repotting your bonsai trees, especially if they're still in dormancy. Since your Cotoneaster is showing signs of needing attention, you might consider waiting just a bit longer until temperatures start to warm up a bit more consistently. Repotting too early while the tree is still dormant can shock it and potentially harm its health. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and wait for a stretch of milder temperatures before proceeding with repotting. Once spring is in full swing and your Cotoneaster begins to show signs of new growth, that's usually a good indicator that it's safe to proceed with repotting.🌱🌿

Szia Adam! Megint egy nagyszerű, tartalmas videó!👌👍 Azt szeretném kérdezni, hogy az átülteténél a kikapart talajkeverékedben láttam vöröses színű szemcséket is bőven. Azok darált, őrölt tégla vagy cserépdarabok? Válaszodat előre is köszönöm! Üdvözlettel: Krisztián😉

[@notionbonsai]

Szia Krisztián! Nagyon örülök, hogy tetszik a videó! 😊 Az átültetéshez használt talajkeverékben látható vöröses szemcsék valójában félig leégett akadama darabok. Azért használom ezeket, mert nagyon jó vízelvezetésük van, ami segít megelőzni a gyökérrothadást és elősegíti a talaj megfelelő levegőzését is.

When do you recon is best time to dig cotoneaster up from front garden to put in a pot
