Dear All,
I'm based in Japan, and have just inherited two large pine bonsai. One is goyoumatsu (Japanese white pine), the other kuro-matsu (black pine). Both are a around 60-70 years old, in superb original bonsai pots. The White pine is on a rock formation in an original oval dish pot, the latter a larger original bonsai pot. Both have been trained for most of their lives, but have been neglected for around 5 years. I've not time to sort them out before the spring, but just want them to survive until I can attend to them. What watering routine, and how much sunlight would members recommend to keep them healthy enough before possibly repotting, remedial pruning, training etc? The White pine stands around 1 and half feet tall and same width, the black pine around 2 feet. Trunks are around 4 inches. I attach pics of the white pine (taken in the dark - location is temporary). Thanks for your comments.
