How to repot a Chinese Myrtle Bonsai? | |
Repotting your tree is an important way to provide a fresh and suitable soil mix and ensure appropriate root health. Repot in early spring. Generally, your Chinese myrtle will need to be re-potted once every two or three years if it is young, while older ones can stay in their pots for longer. However, you should always check if it has become root-bound before you change pots. You can do this by lifting the tree gently out of the pot by the main trunk and examining the root system. You will know it is ready if you can see that the roots are circling around each other and the pot. If, however, they still appear contained in the soil, you should place it back and wait until the following spring to check again. Your Chinese myrtle will produce more flowers if it is a little root bound. Trees that are ready for repotting will require root pruning, a suitable new pot and appropriate soil mix. For a step-by-step guide on these topics please visit www.miyagibonsai.co.uk/blog/ The Chinese myrtle has roots that must be pruned with care and it is important that the soil mix you choose for the new pot is lime-free and well-draining.
