Potting

- Cover with a layer of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Cactus & Bonsai Compost.
- Insert the plant into the new container, infilling around the root ball with more compost.
- Fill the pot to 10mm (½ inch) below the rim. Ensure the plant is at the same level of compost as it was in the previous container.
- Top dress with gravel grit. Allow to settle for 2-3 days, then water with tepid rainwater.
Re-potting

Bonsai
Potting

- Add a layer of Miracle-Gro® Peat Free Premium Cactus & Bonsai Compost, plant the tree and add compost to the correct height.

Re-potting
- Bonsai should be re-potted in late winter (just before bud burst) every year for the first few years.
- Water the plant thoroughly and remove from the existing container. If the container remains correct in scale to the tree shape and size, then re-use after thoroughly cleaning.
- Comb out the roots away from the trunk, avoiding any roots that may be displayed on the soil surface. Cut back any long roots.
