Too late

[coachspinks]

I have a couple of well established junipers that I'd like to repot. They aren't ones that have to be repotted but I would be improving potting angle on both. I am in southern North Ga, almost central Ga. Both still have light green growth pushing. Root pruning - about 20% of the root ball. Is it too late here?

Sounds fine, J's are usually the latest.

But I'd wait a half a week or so till the moon gets right.

I also repot junipers later than most other species. Even with fresh new shoots I have not had any problem, even without taking note of moon phase.

Likewise. ? ?

What does the moon have to do with it?

As a noob I had repotted couple of juniper from early summer to winter without taking anything in account. Now when I think about these blunders, very first thought comes into my mind is that my juniper will die without any warning. It makes me anxious, but I think they forgave me and almost all are thriving well.

The other interpretation of the results is that they weren't blunders. Now you only need to figure out why it was, in fact, a smart thing you did.

We all do mistakes and kill the plants on the way to bonsai. I want to learn and figure out more about bonsai, that is how i came to the bonsainut.
Anyway feeling relief from your comment. Guess I was flukey.

Everything!

I have myself thoroughly convinced.

No mention of moon.

I swore I heard (protecting his name in case of false credit) say that Junipers could be repotted any day of the year by an experienced artist. I only dabbled in the genus but never killed anyhting, I treated all mine pretty harsh before selling them or planting them as landscape

Ya know, there are numbers at each post, #1, #2, #3, and if you just post the number(s), it won't be necessary to read through all 49...

I've repotted junis in three of 4 seasons. Early is bad. They took some time to recover. Shortly after growth started proved okay, late summer and fall they didn't skip a beat. Even pushed new growth well into November. August 15-end of Sept for me

A lot.
But it is it's strongest when Ur anus is in retrograde.

...and when the nearest black hole is open.
