Dear bonsai enthusiasts,

We are thrilled to share with you an exclusive guide curated by Emanuele, the renowned Italian creator in the bonsai niche, known as @bonsai_jade. This detailed guide will walk you through the bonsai repotting process step by step, providing valuable insights from an industry expert.

Essential Steps for Successful Repotting:

1. Tool Preparation:

Ensure you have all the necessary tools, such as concave scissors, bonsai pliers, specific bonsai soil, and suitable pots.

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.

In conclusion, we hope this guide proves to be of great assistance in caring for your bonsai. If you have any questions or would like to share your experience, feel free to comment below.
