can already tell that you can tell… |
Our
customers have already begun purchasing soils,
fertilizers and pots and you shouldn’t put
off this chore any longer. Before you know it the
time to act will be here.
Spring is just around the corner and all of us
should be ready to begin our Spring Routine of
potting, root pruning and changing pots if needed
or desired.
To help you along with this please visit the most
informative Bonsai
Channel for help in these endeavors.
Books will certainly help in this
also, but the action, step by step visuals are
so much more informative. How Dallas Bonsai Garden
can help you. To help you in this endeavor Dallas
Bonsai Garden suggests you review your books and videos on
root pruning and repotting.
Check your tools and
see if you have a root
rake, root
pick and sharp shears/scissors.
If you are planning on changing the pot then get
your pottery
selection thought out and order early.
Check
your inventory of potting
mixes and top
dressings. It certainly doesn't hurt to have
a little extra to be left over than attempt your
task and find out that you don't have enough potting
mix to finish the job.
Be sure you have enough root
stimulator/vitamin to soak your Bonsai and
its soil in after your finish this task.
This may
be a good time to do some shaping on your Bonsai
, so don't forget the wire and
don't forget that you might need a length of wire
to go through the root ball and out of the pot
holes to tie down the Bonsai.
Don't forget drainage
mesh. This task can be intimidating the first
time so don't be scared. Yes, it's better to remove
too few roots than too many. After a few times
at this you will understand the process and feel
more comfortable with what you are doing. Be prepared
to get the job done at the "perfect" time.
Note: At the time of this writing we are already
experiencing an influx of orders for pots and potting
mixes. We do appreciate you ordering early.
Don't be the last one and have to have your pots
or mixes sent by overnight delivery services. Yes,
we all are busy with just living, but do spend
an hour thinking through this task. Your Bonsai
will reward you with a longer and healthier life.
