2. Assessing the Bonsai’s Condition:

Carefully examine your bonsai, identifying damaged, diseased, or excessively long roots. This assessment will guide your actions during repotting.

3. Gently Remove the Bonsai from the Pot:

With care, extract the bonsai from its current pot, being mindful not to damage the sensitive roots. Below is a video tutorial demonstrating the step-by-step process:

4. Root Cleaning:

Eliminate damaged or diseased roots, ensuring to preserve the healthy ones. This phase is crucial for the bonsai’s long-term health.

5. Prepare the New Pot:

Ensure the new pot is clean and ready to accommodate your bonsai. Add a layer of specific bonsai soil to the base.

6. Place the Bonsai in the New Pot:

Position the bonsai in the new pot so that the roots are spread out and well-distributed. Fill with soil, making sure to lightly compact it.
The bonsai master’s choice fell on our Roma pot because it highlights the bonsai’s base and roots, and being low helps the roots expand radially.

7. Watering and Post-Repotting Care:

After repotting, water generously and place the bonsai in a shaded area for a few days. Monitor its health closely in the following days.
