Couple repots from over the weekend:
Wisteria (I think Chinese, but not 100% sure). Repotted into a cheap Chinese pot in Bonsai Jack Organic Mix.
Sekka Hinoki Cypress (picked up from Bjorn last year). Repotted into a size 6 Tokoname terra cotta pot in 60/40 Hyuga Pumice/Akadama mix.
I wanted to get the wisteria into a deeper training pot, but realized I didn’t really have anything that would work when I brought it up to our club meeting, so I put it in this cheap Chinese pot I had laying around.
The sekka hinoki is going to be an experiment. This is my first time having one and my biggest concern is the summer heat. Howard Smith (Bonsai Smiths) here locally has a few and gave me some tips for them. Ironically, he keeps his pretty much where he keeps his Japanese maples. I’m going to definitely add a top dressing and watch it closely this summer. Styling probably won’t be done till next year just to see how it responds to the repotting and the growing year.
