Haha, just checked if there is something new from Jerome... and bang the video was there. the afternoon is saved. many thanks and greetings from Germany.
Well done Jerome. No one can go wrong now.
Danke Stefan, new videos every Wednesday 🙂 I’m glad I was able to save your afternoon 😆
Great video, it is very important to keep 30% of the soil, 2 trees of mine died because I washed the roots.
I am a newbie here and just repotted my first ever bonsai 3 days ago. The leaves are droopy which makes me worried. Its first ever video that mentions the important information of keeping some old soil intact. I wish I would have come across this video before. I hope my tree revives.
Why would you wash the roots they are meant to be dirty LOL
@@anthonylopez4013 it depends on the tree and soil if you’re repotting a strong Acer just before it breaks bud, and the old soil is very organic based, I would jet the roots clean with a hose before replacing it with an inorganic soil. Conifers usually need their soil changed gradually, especially pines that rely in certain fungi in the old soil to feed its roots
Can you keep all of the old soil if it's going to a bigger pot?
@@GLOCK144. that depends on the soil quality. Pines don't like removing all the old soil.
Always repot after the buds are breaking.
I’m very brand new to bonsai, but I watch this video and found it very useful…. From the uk 🇬🇧
simple and clean !
Your videos are great!!! You always give us such good advice. Your videos make it visually easier for us beginners to assimilate it and learn. Thank you Jerome ❤️ we are fortunate to have such a good teacher ❤️
Thank you so much Dulce for your kind words 🥰
We are The Bonsai Supply ❤️
This was very straightforward and informative, even relaxing. Thank you. I'm looking forward to repotting a young little old gold juniper next Spring. I've been caring after him for more than a year now. I was supposed to do this last year but with the pandemic and all I had to postpone it.
Very informative, very nicely explained. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video! I got a bonsai gifted to me. It was my late father's bonsai plant. It needs to be replanted and the tips and advice you gave were great.
Great video. You are are natural born teacher. Thank you .
Thank you! I'm a beginner and found this video to be the most helpful
Thanks Jerome.
Excellent video.....what a smart and well spoken teacher!
Thank you kindly!
nice video! i like your calm and relaxed way to explain the steps :)
wonderful explanation
I learned a lot, thank you
Thank you for sharing your video..👍
Great Bonsai 101 on Transfer Potting a Large Bonsai. I just started my collection a few months ago and i have killed two small bonsai's due to the fact I didn't repot with the proper soil that goes with a Juniper tree. With your tutorial, I can safely also water it properly. Didn't know the soaking part and the shaded for two weeks before setting back out to the full sun..
Thank you for sharing👍🏼
Excellent presentation!
Thank you kindly!
very helpful information
dam this video would be perfect for someone who doesnt know anything about bonsai you did an amazing job jerome representing florida like a champ

Al
Thank you very much!!
This vedio was very helpfull for me. Thank you
You are most welcome
Wow the surprise when removing the soil. Lucky indeed!
Great!
Hello Amigo you really explain really good. thank you so much to make this video for everybody that we see you. from Guatemala
Thank you Amigo!
Good, I like your step.
And I can lean English lange from your clip, Thank you so much
I’m going to attempt this today - wish me luck😂
Jerome, I echo what everyone is saying…your videos are relaxing, VERY informative and you give confidence to us beginners. When starting off with a nursery tree, is cutting the tap root still a common practice?
Very nice and clear instructions….. big help for seniors but beginners on bonsai art , thank you!
Do you have videos on wiring too? I hope they are as clear and easy as this video….
Jerome, thank you for a detailed guide on how to repot! I’m a newbie and I find your guides the most useful i’ve come across so far! Any specific advice on how to take care of my first Fraxinus bonsai? And btw.. when will you guys start shipping to Sweden? 😁 Keep up the good work!!
Hey Bryan, thank you I'm glad it was helpful.
Great video! Can you guys do one on growing a tree to bonsai later? Like from nursery to growing and training? Also maybe a video on non bonsai pots for growing trees? Thanks!
Hey Ipheek, Great suggestion!
Can i use the bonsai soil for the roses growing from my flower vase?
I am going to be repotting my Jades. Do I also leave them in the shade for two weeks and water daily? I normally water them every two weeks.
Hey, thank you! Very clear repotting guide, I am going to repott my ficus ginsening in this way. Only..it is smaller than the one in the video. So maybe I do not need to put a wire?
Thank you Jurga! Always wire your trees into the pot no matter the size.
Is Bauhinia Purpurea a good tree for bonsai?
Great tutorial.
Is it ever safe or advisable to repot in early summer? Thanks
It really depends on your climate, in south Florida yes but anywhere else no. Deciduous spring, junipers and pines winter and tropicals summer
Hi!! Very good video...Can u please suggest size of this pot...
Does leaving it in the shade for 2 weeks go for every tree or just junipers?
could your first cut have been left on as a sacrifice branch to help thicken the base and removed much later?
Jerome, after rewatching this I’m wondering. Won’t the water absorption and drainage into the two different soils make it difficult to maintain even watering? Thanks
Hey Matt, it would that’s why you only do this for 1-2 years and then switch into 90-100% bonsai soil
Im confused, if i use akadama for helping with draining , do i apply the soil on top of the akadama ? Then pot the bonsai ?
👍

Hey Carlos, Thank you for the feedback. We are in Fort Lauderdale Florida
i wanna know what kind of soil your using please
thanks in advanced
Jennifer Denyer hi Jennifer, I always reply 🙂 you can find our soil mixture here: www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Purpose-Draining-Calcined-Supply/dp/B07M68B4JG/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=bonsai+soil&qid=1593171823&sprefix=bonsai&sr=8-6
I NEED HELP. I got my jupiter bonsai tree 3 days ago. The soil is 40% peat moss, 30% dune sand, 15% perlite and 15% bark dust.
I have been researching saying peat moss holds moisture which isn't ideal for bonsai. Sould i change my soil? Or leave him alone until next early spring?
It is a bit late to repot Junipers but if you are doing a very gentle repot you can still get away with it. This is the soil we use for all our bonsai trees: www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Purpose-Draining-Calcined-Supply/dp/B07M68B4JG/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=bonsai+soil&qid=1619610231&sr=8-7
Are you guys selling bonsai moringa and calamondin? If you do i would like to buy.
When do you guys get to open back up
Hey Louis, we don't have a date as cases are still rising. If you are in need of service or supplies, please email us at info@thebonsaisupply.com and we can schedule a curbside appointment.
Where can I buy your soil?

😘👍👍
Is it okay to put my newly repotted trees back in my garage? My area has no shady spots, so that seems like the only viable spot.
Yes that is absolutely fine. You want to make sure that you keep temperate trees above 40 Fahrenheit after repotting. You can keep them in full sun if it stays above 40.
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply Okay, sounds good. Thank you so much for the help!
@@CrimeLife1897 Anytime Taylor!
Is your bonsai soil mixture good for indoor plants?
Hi Jelyn, Yes it is :)
Thank you
you are using what type of soil?
thebonsaisupply.com/collections/bonsai-soil/products/professional-bonsai-soil-mix
Hi Jerome. Won't you get problems with root rot, leaving 20 to 30 % of the prebonsai soil, as it's going to retain more moisture for longer than the new bonsai soil?
Thanks
Lourens
Hey Lauren’s, it is actually detrimental that you leave 20-30%. The roots of the tree are used to the black soil. That’s why we trim the roots back to the old soil level and fill in with new soil so that the roots can grow into the now soil at their own pace. The next time I’ll repot I’ll remove another 50% of the remaining black soil and the year after the remainder.
I hate size wire are those?
When should I use no black soil and just plain bonsai soil? I want to bonsái my lemon plants 🌱
Hi, only use black soil in the very first repotting, but don't mix in extra black soil with bonsai soil. you just want to leave about 30% of the original black soil around the rootball and fill in the edges of the pot with fresh good bonsai soil. a year later wash out all of the black potting soil and do straight 100% bonsai soil only
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply thank you
I have a small one growing on a stone. Have no clue as to how to repot lol
Che pianta è questa?
POR FAVOR TRADUCIR A ESPAÑOL!!!
very interesting thank you😊
