Seedling
I have multiple different species and all sizes of pines, maples, and conifers that I am looking to repot this week. I am fairly new to the bonsai culture, and have just barely made it through my first year tending to them.
Most of them are in 1gal nursery pots. Is simply slip potting them to the next size (2gal) pot, and adding soil sufficient enough? Of course I will perform a light root trim, and comb out the roots a little, but I do not want
to over do it as I am new to this after all.
Second, currently they are all in a pine bark, pumice mixture based medium. Should I continue to use this type of medium, or switch to something like Tiny Roots Premium Blend (Akadama, Lava Rock, Pumice)?
Third, what is the best type of granular/packet type fertilizer I can use? I can't seem to find exactly what I should be using.. I have no idea what I'm doing.. PLEASE HELP!?
