- It's time for my Ficus ginseng to move into its first real bonsai pot. For the last view months I have kept it in the pot and soil it came in. Since it is spring, it now is the perfect time to repot my little Ficus ginseng microcarpa bonsai tree.

bagus bonsainya
Thanks!
I've had my Ficus Bonsai for over 30 years and I've only repotted it once. Within the past 2 months it's dropped all of its leaves. Would repotting it be too much stress for an already stressed plant or would it help it? The soil is just (old) potting soil and very dense. I bought the proper type of Bonsai organic mix to use.
If you are fairly certain that that is the reason for it's deteriorating health, repotting will be the best thing you can do to improve your tree's health again. Take it out of its pot and check on the roots. If it's root-bound or the roots look sickly definitely repot.
Thank you for getting back to me with good advice. 😊
How did you choose the size of your pot? I'm repotting for the first time in 2 years and it's in a plastic oval shape 5 inch pot. I'm confused on the type of pot that works better and how to determine the size. Please advice
Regarding shape I usually simply go with what I find is fitting to the tree aesthetically. The material of the pot can have an effect on your tree. A plastic pot might hold moisture a bit longer than an unglazed clay pot - so simply choose what fits best to the general needs of your tree. Regarding size a safe bet is to go one size up from the current pot. This way the roots again have enough room to grow for another year or two.
@@ThatBonsaiGuy thanks for responding. When using an unglazed clay put is it necessary to soak it first like terra cotta pots to prep the pot before use? Is the depth of the pot extremely important or is a shallow pot better?
@@kbm4409it is not necessary to soak the pot before use (however I like to soak the freshly repotted tree when I water for the first time after repotting). How shallow a pot you choose again depends on the look you want to achieve for your tree. For a cascading style you would use a narrow and deep pot, for other styles you would rather go for a more shallow pot. In case of doubt go with what looks best to you!
How often do you wanter Ficus Ginseng?
I water when the top of the soil is completely dry
@@ThatBonsaiGuy do you keep it under sun for some time or is it always inside? Thank you.
@@skr346 I actually keep this one inside all the time, but at a very bright spot
