QUICK VIDEO ON HOW TRANSPLANT BONSAI TREES
July 19th, 2007 by admin
How to transplant bonsai trees almost appears brutal, but really we probably feel more for these bonsai trees than they feel discomfort.You’ll notice when the bonsai tree is transplanted, the container has wires already intact. So if you’re out shopping for one, ensure you buy a container specifically for bonsai trees.
Too, don’t forget to pick up some bonsai soil since bonsai trees do require a special mix specifically for their new found home.

I was wondering, since I am new to this, what is the wire used for? I read somewhere else that I can use pure clay cat litter, what do you recommend that I use. I bought this at a Walgreen’s and want to transplant it. I live in the Youngstown, OH Valley, so can I transplant this late in the summer?
Thanks much for your video on how to transplant also.
Thanks for your time,

Hi Kimberly. Just got back from a few weeks in the Rockies and am now getting back to you.
The wire is used to secure the plant to the pot. The pot has a small base.
Do not use pure clay cat litter. Clay “shrinks” when it starts to get dry - it will suffocate the roots and your bonsai will eventually die.
If you do a search online, there are super places to buy premixed bonsai soil or call up your local garden center.
You can transplant them whenever the need arises which is usually every 3-5 years. If it were an outdoor plant, fall is the best followed closely by springtime.
Hope you are having success! Its such a wonderful art really!
cheers
