So,
I have an olive that was gifted to me pre-pandemic. It was a supermarket bonsai as far as I know and it’s in plastic bonsai pot that it came in. The soil is..how can I adequately describe this? It’s like a fine very pale brown poor quality compacted dust that just doesn’t look like anything I’d want to be sitting in if I were a tree.
I’ve left this tree alone since receiving it and was planning to repot it next spring but I am wondering if I should do it now I’d like to get a good look at what the roots are doing and what sort of condition they are in. It’s had a lot of leave drop and is quite bald in places.
Any advice would be appreciated.
