- Hello, I’m bonsai mentor Milton Chang! Today, I talk about the importance of repotting, which is one of the main steps in starting your bonsai’s journey to become an heirloom. This a quick walkthrough of a repotting so your tree can grow new and healthy roots and so the trunk can thicken. By cleaning out the soil and trimming the overgrown roots, we are getting this tree ready to grow into a beautiful heirloom.

With your care I am sure the pine will have a great future, thank you for sharing with us your methods.
Thanks for your kind words!
Hello, waiting here. I’m growing black pine from seeds now
That tree has a lot of potential. Great video!
It does, I'm glad you can see it! Thanks!
tnx for sharing ur knowledge.. never had a doctor teach me bonsai before =)
profesionalism is beautiful to watch
Thanks for watching! I actually got my PhD from Caltech and then had a long career in engineering. Bonsai as a hobby has helped me through very stressful times in my career, which is why I highly recommend it to everyone!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. Your videos are easy to understand, and the lessons are readily applied. As a bonus, your manner is calming and enjoyable, too.
Thank you, that means a lot!
Absolutely love your bonsai philosophy!
Inspires me to find my own solutions, for my conditions, based on principle of simplification .
Many thanks!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm teaching you the techniques I've learned over the years, but you will definitely learn your own solutions as you work more with bonsai. There's always new things to learn!
Great review of repotting, but especially about “training” and promoting how the root system can be trained for bonsai. You mentioned that TIME is on your side in this fantastic living art we enjoy. Looking forward to the followup videos on this tree.
Yes, great takeaway from the video! Thanks for watching!
Thank you. Great info.
Could you do a video exclusively on roots? I collect yamadori and there are a LOT of roots. My initisl goal is to get the new tree to SURVIVE. How do I accomplish this? Aesthetics is secondary.
I would benefit from distinguishing feeder roots and structural roots. Which to remove. Soil, rooting hormone, pot size, watering, time of year, after-care - focusing on the ROOTS and survival. (As opposed to creating a bonsai)
Love your videos.

You should not worry if you have a lot of roots…Keep the roots moist at all times and use soil with good aeration. Do not work on the tree until it is actively growing.
Bonjour Monsieur Chang, je me réjoui déjà de revoir cet arbre dans quelques mois. Merci pour la vidéo!
Very informative and I'd like to say thank you for bringing us into your bonsai world
I appreciate it! Thanks for being a part of my bonsai community!
Hi Milton! I have read that when it comes to repotting/root pruning, the timing of the year is very important. I don't think you touch base on the timing very much in this vid for us beginners. Is there a specific time of the year that you recommend to repot? Thanks!
From a low risk standpoint, the best time to repot is late fall and early spring. Although, you can repot at just about at any time of the year if you keep the tree hydrated. That is, remove plenty of branches to compensate for the root loss, and keep the plant out of direct hot sun to avoid moisture loss. For beginners, I recommend repotting during around spring time.
Thanks for showing us some pines! ❤
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so share.
I like your channel very much. It is also very interesting to hear what bonsai triggers in you. I would like to know more about this.
sounds logical. You want good root structure first, then a good trunk usually follows. Branches are a final thing.
Yes! You got it!
Thank you for more lessons. Would you use the mosquito mesh on a Picea Abies in an oval pot about 12" long, or is it too small to need it? I'm going to repot it in the next few weeks. Thanks in advance!
Please do so! It prevents roots winding around the bottom to make it less repotting necessary.
@@bonsaiheirloom thank you very much.
I'll definitely give it a try.
It's so nice to have an experienced grower give us advice like this!
I have a pinus sylvestris grown in a pot for 5 years, is it ok to hard cut it back 50cm its like 1,5 m not and most of the needles is at the top?
Hello! I have not done any European pine, since Japanese black pine has proven to work as bonsai. Like all pine, cutting about a branch that has growth to redesign the tree should be fine. And if you want to be really careful, cut off the top in stages. Hope this helps!
Have you tried to grow trees from the cut root stock?
Yes, sometimes I root my cuttings.
👍👌🙂
Good Luck 😊 1:24
That tree looks sick. You took an older pine and basically bare rooted the tree. not sure i would do that. throwing the tree on the ground to remove soil was also a new method ive not tried before. finally, personally i try to not grab older pines by the trunk to help protect the delicate bark. There are a lot of local bonsai clubs in the Bay Area where you can learn how to grow quality trees. I'm sorry if my post seems critical. Some of what I hear you say and do is quite contradictory to my bonsai teachers. It's fine to do your own thing but I don't think one should claim to be an authority on a subject unless one carries the skill and experience to consistently produce quality. When I see people giving questionable advise it's probably not bad form to acknowledge that it's a deviation from best standards.
Happy growing,
