HOW REPOTTING / CHANGING SOIL BLACK PINE BONSAI

Tuesday 19 April 2011

The process of repotting bonsai to be black pine is fairly 3-4 years, since the roots of black pine grows slowly. If less than 2 years repotting roots are not old enough. If more than 4 years no repotting, the roots will be too crowded in the pot. This will inhibit the growth and fertility.

How to repot is after the issue of the bonsai pot, it will be visible clumps that have been fused roots with soil. Dispose of the third round the edge of these clumps by scraping the soil and cut roots that are too long. Then put it back into the pot with the medium described above, by scraping, the tip of the old roots can directly enter into and merge with new media. This will better ensure life after repotting. And do not even repot by cutting or sawing lumps of soil and root mean like cutting the cake and then replanted. This method is a lump of old roots and soil surrounded (sealed) by the new media, so it will generate heat that is not distributed in clumps and eventually make the roots to rot.

In my experience planting black pine, do not repot in conjunction with shaving leaves. There are occasions when my garden employees do not carry the instructions that I teach. When I went out of town and did not see his work, the employee is repot and shave simultaneously. This caused some half-finished black pine trees to die.

In Indonesia, the second this season, the best time to repot black pine is between the end of the dry season and early rainy season (around early September), but must also look at the condition of black pine. Trees should be conducted when new shoots begin to appear before the leaves blossom. If the leaves have bloomed then the tree will be weak, and the risk REPOTTING be great.

Error on Bonsai care

The main reason why bonsai trees do not grow or die is that they are not given enough water. The amount of water needs vary depending on the species, time of year, location and condition. So, do some research on specific species.

During the summer, spring and autumn you should examine your tree every day to see if it needs watering. One way to do this is to push your finger or chopstick into the soil. Outdoor bonsai require more frequent watering in winter.

In the afternoon is the best time to water - you then will avoid burning the leaves from the sun. There are several ways watering bonsai, one of which is water from above using a fine rose or a spray.

MISTAKE 2. Using the wrong type of soil. Your bonsai tree depends entirely on the small amount of soil in pots to provide all the moisture and nutrients needed for survival. This is a very different scenario to those found in nature in which tree roots can spread wide and deep to find nutrients and water.

So ordinary garden soil or compost normally not suitable. What bonsai tree is a need for land that can store enough moisture and nutrients to supply to the roots. There should be enough air space to allow the roots to breathe and the excess water must be able to escape to prevent the roots from rotting.

Therefore, substances such as gravel, sand and granite is an important component of bonsai soil. Bonsai enthusiasts agree on the importance of grit but often differ on the best mix of land.

different tree species also have different requirements such as flowering trees require more organic material. It is possible to buy a bonsai soil is ready for use such as clay, but this Japanese Akadama expensive.You can experiment with mixing your own - if you do this, you have to sieve the soil before use.

MISTAKE 3. Not keeping your bonsai in the right location. Many people think of bonsai trees as ornamental plants and keep them indoors. While some tropical species that are suitable for growing indoors it must be remembered that trees are designed for outer space - which is their natural habitat.

They thrive when they are exposed to seasonal weather changes. Sun, wind and rain all important for trees such as the winter period stops when the tree does not grow. Some classic outdoor bonsai, including pine, maple and juniper.

Depending on the severity of conditions, tree species and stage of development, outdoor bonsai may require some protection in winter such as storage in the garage.

Two species that can be grown indoors are Ficus (fig), and Serissa (tree thousand stars). With an indoor bonsai you need to ensure that they have the right level of humidity and plenty of light. Avoid placing in windy conditions.

If you ensure that your bonsai to grow in the right soil, having the right amount of water and are in the right location you will be well on your way to grow trees, grow bonsai healthy!
