Repotting is one of the most important tasks that we will ever do with our bonsai and planning (of course) is key to being successful. Before removing the tree and working the root system you need to know what you are going to do and why. Working then thinking is wrong. Think, plan, then work. And after you've repotted what is your process? Where will the bonsai be kept while recovering from the repotting process? Think, plan, then work...

We are meticulous with our bonsai and their design, we spend so long getting even the smallest detail perfect and we should also do this with everything associated with good bonsai. As we commence the repotting season, well I do, it's time to be mindful of the quality and cleanliness of both the work area as well as the tools used in the process. We need to be safe and very importantly we must not have a situation where we transfer any nasties from one bonsai to the next. Also it's balancing only for strong trees? Don't you just leave weak trees alone? Balancing is task we perform continually on all of our bonsai.

We have all had the experience of looking at a particular branch or section of a bonsai and thought, I don't like that and I should cut it off but you hesitate or just slide the bonsai back on the bench thinking 'I'll do it next time'. Me included! I have just had this very thing happen on an old Scots Pine but this time I took action. Pine season is coming to a close for me and it's time for me to reflect on what I learned and what I have done slightly differently.

You might start your bonsai journey loving the artistic side of the hobby but you must grow to love the maintenance side. This is where you will end up spending nearly 99% of your bonsai time. I also have a little tip for you too regarding the direction you work on your bonsai. Think of a chicken...don't worry it will all make sense in the podcast I promise.

In order to make or develop beautiful bonsai, you must be able to work at both a macro or big picture level as well as at the micro level which deals with the branch that you're looking at right now. It is easy to become distracted by the future and miss the opportunity to work in the now for your tree. I also think bonsai confidence and bonsai overconfidence need to be managed. A lack of confidence means nothing happens, overconfidence means something bad may happen! How do we fix that? Have a listen and I'l see if I can help.
