How to repot a Fukien Tea Tree Bonsai?

Repotting your tree is an important way to provide a fresh and suitable soil mix and ensure appropriate root health. Repot in spring. Generally, your tea tree will need to be re-potted once every two years if it is young, while older ones can stay in their pots for longer. 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 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.

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/

Take care when pruning the roots of the tea tree as they are very sensitive, and it is important to pot into a well-draining soil mix to avoid problems with excess drought and wetness. We tend to use a mixture of different speciality bonsai soils on our trees. Every species is different so please contact us for free soil-mix advice or to take advantage of our re-potting service, visit www.miyagibonsai.co.uk/services/.
