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.
