How to repot a banyan bonsai

Banyan bonsai repotting time

Generally speaking, the banyan bonsai can be repotted between April and September every year, but the best time to repot the banyan bonsai is the plum rain season, because the rainfall is very heavy and the air humidity is very high at this time, and the temperature in this season is about 25 degrees. Under such climatic conditions, the roots of the banyan tree can be completely exposed to the air when repotting. Since the humidity and temperature are sufficient, we can shape the roots of the banyan tree according to our needs.

Banyan tree root treatment

When we repot the banyan bonsai, the roots of the banyan tree will be completely exposed. We can take this opportunity to tidy up the roots of the banyan tree. We should cut off roots that are too thick and too long. This will encourage the banyan tree to grow better quality roots, increase the number of roots, make the tree appear very powerful, and make the overall shape of the tree very beautiful.

The benefits of repotting a banyan bonsai

After the bonsai banyan tree has grown in the pot for a certain period of time, the fertility of the soil in the pot will gradually no longer support the growth of the banyan tree, and the roots of the banyan tree will become very dense. Gradually, the growth state of the banyan tree will become very bad. After repotting and pruning, the fertility of the pot can be enhanced, making the banyan tree grow better. Generally speaking, we need to repot the banyan bonsai once a year, which is beneficial to the growth of the banyan tree. The interval between repotting should not exceed two years.
