Yes, you can place it back in the windowsill as before and water as before. Just don't let the soil dry out, so water when he needs it because it can be different watering when it's repotted

Many luck, I wish you the best!

Hello,

I have done as you guys have asked however I am not too sure if I have done it correctly. I have attatched a few pictures (from both sides) to show my efforts however one of the main things I am concerned about is the soil I used which is the soil we use in the garden. Would this be OK? or would it need to be diffrent? If diffrent please could someone let me know which soil and I will get some at weekend and pot again.

All comments are welcome.

Many Thanks

James

James...the garden soil you used is NOT okay:ohmy: . I believe the reason your plant got mold in the first place is because of being in the wrong soil. Here is a link from the website's "MAIN MENU" under the "CARE" heading then under the subtitle of "REPOTTING". It will tell you all about repotting, soil mixture *and* if you go down to bottom of the info. given there is a *video* link that shows you how.

Here is the link to that page: www.bonsaiempire.com/care/repotting

Best of luck.

Hello,

Thanks for that I will do it again

I have no sound at work and a poorly computer at home so I couldnt hear the video

One of my work colleagues has put me in touch with a guy who looks aftr Bonsai and has his own Garden Centre and has advised me to use a general compost and some Baby Bio with a half mix. Also my tree is an outdoor tree so on the windowsill is fine however in a cool room. So I will re position the tree according to this and I will get this sorted out ASAP once I get some general compost....

Many Thanks

That sounds good!

The basic bonsai soil is always good for your bonsai. Akadama (japanese clay) is good for it too, you can place it in just 100% akadama. The best combination of soil for this species is: 1Akadama, 1Kiryu, 1 potting soil, 1pebbles

But other combinations are okay too and the opinions are shared about this.

I would do akadama for it, this stimulates the production of rootlets.

Hi James,

My sincere apology for my last post about the soil you used. I am new to this art of Bonsai and should not be giving advice about things I'm not familiar with. I too will need to seek advice about the proper soil when the time comes to repot my new little baby tree. I think sometimes I just get sooo excited that my mouth just blurts out whatever comes to mind instead of thinking it over first. Please accept my apology.

Leslie

Leslie,

What you said about the soil was right. It isn't the good soil for bonsai.

But what you said morpheus: you can choose akadama, this is specially for bonsai There are also many other bonsai soil as Kiryu, Bims, etc. Often they get mixed to get the perfect soil for a specific tree. But only akadama as soil is also used.

Good luck!

Leslie,

Its alright dont worry no harm done its a big learning curve Apology accepted.

You will be pleased to know I got the akadama and the Baby Bio so it should be arriving soon and I can get my Bonsai into a proper home and it can get better! I will let you know how I get on!

Many Thanks

James
