repot

Hello, my friends, I just got two junipers (Juniperus horizontalis and Juniperus chinensis) and I had to repot them due to inappropriate soil. I was wondering how to process in the next days. Should I protect them from direct sunlight?

Well, I have this JRP cascade that is sitting in this pot for too long. I got it two years ago, the original soil was a mix with mostly Akadama and now it is draining very badly. I guess there are two problems, the old packed Akadama + being root bound, so the needles are showing yellowing tips...

Hello, I have 5 Wisteria seedlings, coming up to 2 years old now, they have just started showing signs of growth this year (always little anxious to see that first growth, my first seeds). They are currently planted in good size containers but garden soil, heavy organic nursery soil. I...

Spring is upon us here in Florida so I decided to redesign one of my bougainvilleas. I collected it from the landscape two years ago and it looked like this before today (with more foliage): I didn’t like all the commotion going on up top, too cluttered I thought. Didn’t want to bother with a...

I asked Brian Underwood the following earlier. I also wanted to post this message, to you see what you all had to say, so that it may help others who have similar questions. I haven't found a lot out there on Coastal Redwoods, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is what I asked him...

Hey fellow nuts, A coworker brought in a white oak saplig for me today and i repotted it. Had to, i know i know its not good to do this time of year, but he dug it up out of his yard and the tree was in the slimiest, thickest clay ive ever seen. I had to dig around it within the pot to...

I originally posed this question to @Giga. He gave me great information, but then suggested that I start a thread. So here is my question I posed to him. The red azalea I bought from you is really doing well. It had beautiful red flowers all over it. The last flower is about to fade away...

Short story, long. I received a pretty nice Japanese quince from @Stickroot over the xmas holiday. Before I go screwing that one up, I thought I'd try to work with a similar, but smaller JQ. So I recently picked up this little guy for about $7.00. I've read/researched that they can take...

Just a little tree I've been screwing around with for a while - nothing amazing, but its been fun so far. Here are a couple of teasers while I find the 2014 photos . . .

I was looking at my ficus today, when I noticed a new root that I had never noticed before. It's coming up from the soil and then going back down on the other side of the pot, see the picture. Is this a sign that my tree is becoming root bound? I repotted it Spring 2015, and was planning on...

This is my first post, first bonsai. I have a ~5 year old Chinese Elm from Eastern Leaf. When I bought it last Spring, I almost immediately repotted from nursery soil to a 100% inorganic akadama/lava mix. The tree did very well last summer and only lost about half of its foliage into the winter...

Hello everyone, I just received a large Japanese Black Pine. The previous owner suggested I repot it this Spring but I am concerned about doing it too soon after receiving it. It arrived from Oregon to Louisiana, both Zone 8, but spent 4 Days in a box during transit. Depending on the source...

Re-potted this Cherry tree in a much smaller pot, this tree need lots of work still. An air layer will start this year as suggested by member... SMOKE!

After Re-pot! Had to remove about 8 inches of roots they had completely filled the pot from the bottom up. Here is one side view

This junipers was completely pot bound and took some about an hour to get it to the point where it could be re-potted!
