  • @edwinflynn9744
    @edwinflynn9744 Pƙed 6 lety +4

    Very clear instructions. I enjoy your presentations very much. I have found that when people do not check their tree roots for many years, the growth of the roots expels the soil out of the pot. This of course is a very slow process and will not be noticed by the inexperienced bonsai-st. I have re-potted trees that had not been touched in 20 years. As a result they were pot bound with very little if any soil. The trees of course were very stressed. I was very worried they would die from what I had to do and warned the owner of the trees before I began work on them. Thankfully all the trees have really became stimulated. The only exception is a small Juniper tree. It survived the pruning, but it is not doing very well. I expect if may not make it as it has many dead leaves. Not sure if I may be able to re stimulate any fresh growth on the juniper.

    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? I checked no signs of root rot at all.

      I lost one of my oldest bald cypress this year and as I lost that one followed my dawn redwood. both very special to me and had for many years. come to find out they died I think from root rot. the big bald cypress had a white fungus growing on some of the bigger roots. I had notice even the entire root would break up and dissolve. I'm baffled. the only thing that changed is I moved and brought it with me. but I think those types of signs were root rot. don't neglect your plants pay attention to any little change. I had never had this happen so I notice the signs to late. I learned but confused. anyways good day I hope you find your answer.

      @mikbonsai Pƙed 5 lety +2

      For most trees you can see root rot, only when you are repotting the tree and remove the old soil. Trees such as Jade, if the root tor is bad, it will affect the surface roots and if corrective action is not taken, then the trunk starts to rot and the trees eventually dies. If there is root rot, the tree will show signs of stress and unhealthy appearance, That is the the time to repot it and sort the roots out.

    • @HeronsBonsaiUK
      @HeronsBonsaiUK  Pƙed 5 lety +8

      A few hints on whether your bonsai has root rot are: the could smell rotten, the compost might be water logged another way to check would be to take the tree out of the pot and the root structure falls apart (meaning it's not strong enough to hold together). If the roots have rotted that’s it for the tree!

    I have bought two overwatered junipers in unsuitable (not well draining) substrate. They are curling and beginning to yellow. Should I re-pot straight away (end of august, temperate zone), or will that just add stress and I should put the existing rootball in some draining material in a bigger pot until early spring?

    For £100 I get a condescending lecture from a snotty impatient gardener (I clearly wasn’t spending enough) and I take home a tree that ends up nearly falling out of its pot because it hadn’t been secured with wire..
    Told me it was 8 years old but when I repotted to secure it the tree had no roots at all..
