Ficus needs repotting - but not the right season? was created by jimbonsai
Posted 7 years 6 months ago #26595
Hello all!
Just a quick one - I have a ficus which needs repotting (see images) but I understand that with it being October now, it's not the right season. From what I've read on this very site, I need to repot in the early spring. I can't wait that long however!
My question is, would it be okay to proceed with the repotting despite the season not being ideal?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
James

Any chance of anyone telling me what it is rather than what it isn't?

No bother. And I would repot indoor mallsai like that anytime. Wash away all the soil from roots with a stream of water and then give roots just a gentle trim. Pot it in some modern substrate. Google it there are many examples on the net.
