Spring fills me with excitement about the development opportunities for my bonsai and it is so important at this time of year as the work starts to increase that you focus on the 'long game'. Actions you take now have a ripple effect for many years to come. Having a vision of any kind for the future of your bonsai will help provide focus and guide your actions. It doesn't need to be exact but you need something. Acting now or later can have a consequence so you need to ask yourself, is it for now or for the future?

Season 8 Episode 33 - Spring is Almost Upon us!

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

What is the most appropriate time for repotting your bonsai and why? I was always told when to repot but never why that was the right time. And honestly I think it was something that was just passed down the line without many understanding why. So let's break it down and give you the information you will need to determine the best time for you and your bonsai to be repotted.

Season 8 Episode 32 - The Theory Behind Repotting Timing

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

Going to miss repotting that bonsai this year? You sure?? There is going to be an impact on your bonsai if it is overdue for a repot and you decide not to. Now I of all people can understand why you would like to leave it for just one more year but right now there is still an opportunity to change your decision so I want to chat about the negative side effects a bonsai that is excessively pot bound will encounter. Also what you can do if there are problems later in the year outside the appropriate repotting season.

Season 8 Episode 31 - Not Going to Repot? You Sure?

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

I had a brave moment, finally. Only took approximately 10 years but I finally got there. Here's the story of a Chinese Quince that has been on quite the journey with me and recently it was given the full once over. Repot, angle change, rotation, major branch removal...Basically one with the lot! It is an interesting and important story that I'm sure will connect with a lot of bonsai lovers.

Season 8 Episode 30 - The Story of my Quince

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

It is such a small task in the overall scheme of bonsai management and care but it is so important. We repot every few years or maybe longer and the simple job of securing your bonsai at the time of repotting can make a massive difference to the health and ability to achieve your targets for development. There are different methods of securing your bonsai that I'll discuss on top of the reasonings.

Season 8 Episode 29 - Why Securing your Bonsai is so Important

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

It's certainly not sexy but it's very important. What is root rot? How do you identify it and what are the common causes? And most significantly, how do we prevent it?? All such good questions when it comes to the health and wellbeing of your beloved bonsai.

Season 8 Episode 28 - Let's Talk Root Rot

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

Changing your soil mix can be terrifying! But it's something we all must go through at one point or another in our bonsai lifetime. There seems to be two steps in the process, a mid way change and then a complete change. I'll tell you my story when I needed to change my mix and how I have never looked back. Fortune favours the Brave!! Being brave and taking that uncertain step will certainly be beneficial. Do a workshop, put a bonsai on display, cut off that branch!

Season 8 Episode 27 - Scared to Change Soil, Being Brave

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

Repotting is one of the most important tasks that we will ever do with our bonsai and planning (of course) is key to being successful. Before removing the tree and working the root system you need to know what you are going to do and why. Working then thinking is wrong. Think, plan, then work. And after you've repotted what is your process? Where will the bonsai be kept while recovering from the repotting process? Think, plan, then work...

Season 8 Episode 26 - Before Repotting Planning, Post Repotting Scenario

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

We are meticulous with our bonsai and their design, we spend so long getting even the smallest detail perfect and we should also do this with everything associated with good bonsai. As we commence the repotting season, well I do, it's time to be mindful of the quality and cleanliness of both the work area as well as the tools used in the process. We need to be safe and very importantly we must not have a situation where we transfer any nasties from one bonsai to the next. Also it's balancing only for strong trees? Don't you just leave weak trees alone? Balancing is task we perform continually on all of our bonsai.

Season 8 Episode 25 - Good Housekeeping, Bonsai Balancing even for the Weak

Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

Three golden rules I live and die by with my bonsai. Consistency, Reliability and Predicability. Also I dig into how I look after my trees once they have been repotted and why. One of the task when repotting is to consider an angle change and this brings with it a range of other tasks for down the track. We have a look at what they are and when you need to undertake them.
