Came home from vacation and checked the trees. Only one tree are suffering from too much water. But it's also one of my most expensive trees with a value of about 1500 dollars. Did a emergency repot. Wish me luck

Hope it will be well.
Btw my wife will skin me alive if I had spend 1500 dollars the way you did.

Admittedly, I’ve been slacking on cleaning up the attached garage(makeshift repotting area) since this spring’s repotting frenzy. With the greenhouse almost done, figured I should at least rearrange the pots so I can take inventory of what was used. 2 hrs later and got about half of them laid out. Now I need more shelves for the rest of them.

My new Tiger Bark Ficus pre-bonsai from Wigert's Bonsai was delivered today, albeit a day late. That was FedEx's fault though, not Wigert's. It's got some very minor leaf yellowing going on from the stress of the journey, but Ficus are pretty hardy. While I wait for it to settle in and adjust, I'm going to pick a front and start thinking about my overall design and branch selection. After I've chosen a front, I'll probably get it into an oval mica training pot with some proper bonsai soil. It appears to be in plain organic soil and already has some roots coming out of the bottom drain holes. I know spring is the optimal time to repot ficus, but I've repotted tropicals during the summer before without any problems. We have plenty of warm weather here well into late September.
I'm looking forward to working with this one very much. I'm fond of tropical species because they give me something to look at and enjoy inside all winter when my outside trees are dormant and most are leafless.

I repot all of my tropical's in the summer, when they are growing strong.

I often read mixed opinions on when the *BEST* time to repot tropicals is. I feel like people almost always say spring just because that's the repotting time for most everything else. Tropicals grow year-round though, so they sort of turn that way of thinking on its head. I will say though that since all my tropical species get brought inside and put under LED grow lights starting in October, I make it a point not to mess with them until they go back out the following spring. All I focus on during the colder months is keeping them alive and healthy. I don't do any bonsai-related work during that time in order to avoid any extra stress since they're not getting the natural light, water, warmth and humidity the outside provides.

Winter cut back all of my Chinese quince that are in one of my grow beds. They’ve been in the ground for 1 year and are 2 years old from seed.I’ll get some pics of the actual trees tomorrow when I clean up all the fallen leaves and weeds (I’ve taken 2 days off work for a winter clean up of my bonsai area) but here’s a photo I took of the rings on one of them. Crazy growth in the ground!

Finally wired my natal plum today. It’s nice to see it bloom so early after repotting only last month during my bonsai society’s monthly meeting.
I botched the wiring…

Finally got the deck cleared off and rehabbed to have a space for a new bench. 5x8 bench for the trees that like the afternoon sun.

Lots of trees, but limited sun. The deck is on the south side and just far enough from the trees for afternoon direct sun.Like the looks of your backyard

Another series of cut backs on the Sweet Crabapple I purchased from the Windspired Yamadori sale at Wisco Bonsai this year. I did an initial series of chops and wiring in my debut demo at the Badger Bonsai Society, annual show in May. Since then its been pushing growth everywhere and backbudding excessively, giving me many options to continue pushing the profile in. It's been a very rewarding piece of material to work on, with an abundance of vigor and trunks that are still quite workable. Despite its constant need for attention, I'm looking forward to its development in the future!

Repotted this willow leaf ficus. I probably should have chopped it back.
