Last May I styled an Alberta spruce from nursery stock, but I didn't know any better so I planted it in miracle grow potting mix. I recently mixed together bonsai soil using various ingredients, but I'm not sure when to repot. Do I repot it now before spring hits hard or wait until spring? Our overnight lows have been right around freezing every day now, and no days below freezing in the ten day forcast. I'm from Northwestern Ohio by the way (zone 6).

I generally leave the conifers until after my deciduous. They don't seem to object to repotting later in spring but I've also repotted successfully earlier so the repotting window for conifers seems to be quite wide.

I would be wary of the roots freezing if we continue having swings like we've been getting. I would wait to be sure it's not going to be sustained freezing if you don't have a way to protect.
