Just wanted to take a minute and let you know there are a lot of people just like me who really appreciate the time and information you took to put into this training video. Thank you. - Todd
Hi Todd, Thanks for the kind comments! Glad the video was helpful. - Jason
I am definitely one of those people! I've been neglecting my bonsai tree and I know it needs a repotting and after seeing this video I'm a lot less intimidated and a lot more educated!
Thanks Todd.
I have always admired the Art of Bonsai after I traveled to Japan and saw a showing of bonsai trees at a tree festival. Just amazing how long some of those trees have been alive. Some over 100 years old with family members keeping them alive and thriving. I have a few mini crepe myrtles that I have potted and had for 16 years in the same pot and I'm afraid of putting them in a smaller pot for fear of hurting the tree. Have you any experience in crepe myrtles? Thanks and wonderful video and such a beautiful result! Fabulous!
Thank you for showing us this
I'm trying to learn about bonsais because I just bought myself a 4-year-old juniper bonsai. I'd like to know how to take care of it and I've been trying to watch different videos but they've all been so hard to pay attention to because everyone that I watched is so monotony and hard to pay attention too but I wanted you to know that I'm really excited to have found your channel because you're not monotony and much easier to follow. I'm excited to see your other videos. Hopefully one of them will be good at explaining how to take care of a baby bonsai. Anyways thanks for being awesome!!
It came out okay? No! It came out brilliantly. You are by far the greatest teacher and bonsai cultivater on UA-cam. Thank you for this amazing video.

Wow! THE best demonstration of repotting bonsai. You not only showed us, you explained the “why” as you demonstrated. Thanks so much. Please give us more. Is quickly subscribed as your videos provide in red knowledge even for beginners. THANKS!
Most clear cut and comprehensive tutorial on repotting 👍
one thing I love about the youtube bonsai community is that every video is 20 minutes for absolutely no reason lol
Learn patience.
you want a 10 second video? like caveman talk? you pull out tree, you cut root, put in pot wire around, soil, subscribe
Would really like to see a 5 year update on this tree.
He lives in Texas so it had to burn.
Thank you. So glad I can across your video because I wanted to repot my bonsai, now I can after I get all the tools. Thank you again.
The narration and the details was top notch… Thanks for doing this and the detailed information on why.
Thanks! I'm getting tools and soil soon and I feel a lot more confident now that I'll do the job right.
How is it
I know this video is 5yrs old, but still holds true and is so easily explained and shown. Thanks, I'm about to repot my trees and want to make sure I get it right.
Sorry to hear of the loss of your beautiful bonsai trees, hopefully they will be taken care of . People don't realize the time and effort that goes into just one tree . I pray 🙏they are returned in good condition but will keep an eye out for them .
Thanks it’s been 50 years since, I worked on a Bonsai tree at Our National Cemetery in Washington at the Bonsai exhibit.
just an awesome video.... you explain things more clearly than anyone else on the interweb!! thank you!!
Thank you for posting how to take care of the roots before potting as well as which tools to use. Great beginner video, thank you!
Thanks . You gave us all the details necessary to learn and practice . What's a great teacher you are.
Excellent presentation. Since I'm new to Bonsai, you answered a dozen questions that saved me time researching myself. Thanks for doing the video...Jeff
Absolutely enjoyed this video.Bonsai, like gardemimg also is such a rewarding hobby. Thaks
Been practicing bonsai under Roy Nagatoshi for 3 years and this guy gives a good presentation on how to repot. Just keep in mind it takes a long time to properly pack on the soil.
I purchased a lifelike ceramic bonsai tree four years ago. I will be buying a live bonsai tree this year. I will be watching more of your great tutorials. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Neonia, Thanks for the kind comments. Glad you like the videos! - Jason
Omg thank you!!! This is definitely a lot more well explained then many videos I’ve watched! This is excellent and makes it look a lot easier!
He says "or you could loose the tree" a lot ! Now I'm kinda scared to repot 😨
This channel has the best video I've found though. I love how he clearly explain each step and why he does what he does this way etc.
Nice work and thank you for all the great information.
Hi, I just received a small Bonsai plant as a gift and was looking for videos on how to repot as I have no experience. This video was really useful in understanding the basics …although I still don’t know what Bonsai tree it is :) thank you
Absolutely perfect bonsai video. Way to go Jason. I'd like to get a tree like this one.
I understand your explanation of the front of the tree and intended styling, I just think that it looks amazing from all sides, so healthy.
This was a nice refresher video, thank you Jason
🎉easy to remember explained so much better thanks jason
Excellent instruction here....thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
It's glorious, i wish my trees looked like yours.
Thank you for sharing this bright idea on repotting bonsai plant.. Very helpful and informative on how exactly do the repotting and by watching your video i got motivated. Thank you and more power to you!
I just impulse bought a Nana Juniper bonsai and freaked out a bit about how to take care of it. This video makes me feel like this will be much more fun and doable than I thought. Thank you!
One billion loves for this GREAT tutorial.
Beautiful tree man, beautiful tree.
This was super helpful. WOuld love to see the finished tree
I love your videos! They're so helpful and informative!
Tree looks great is it best to repot in spring
You provide very detailed information. Awesome bonsai content. Thanks a lot.
that looks really good like a small tree should
Thanks a lot for your time and all the good information you provided. Big well done!!!
I just reppoted my juniper, I took out some roots but next time I'll cut more so they can regrow. Thank you for the information
very useful and helpful. Please also advise on the time of pot change.
Another way to secure the drainage screen to the pot is clean the interior surface of the pot and use 3M spray adhesive to spray around the drainage holes on the interior of the pot and glue the screens to the pot
Thank You For Sharing Jason.
U r awesome. I have learned so much from you. We r getting ready to order two indoor trees..what would you recommend for full time indoor trees
It seems your soil has a lot of organic material with a base layer of lava rock etc for drainage. I have read many times that one does not want organic material but only inorganic akadama, pumice, lava rock etc. But, your trees are always healthy. Is the 'no organic' material school of thought worthwhile or is it somewhat purist in philosophy but in practice not needed. thank you
Your videos are super awesome. Thanks for sharing
I NEED HELP. I got my jupiter bonsai tree 3 days ago. The soil is 40% peat moss, 30% dune sand, 15% perlite and 15% bark dust.
I have been researching saying peat moss holds moisture which isn't ideal for bonsai. Sould i change my soil? Or leave him alone until next early spring? I checked and no signs of root rot
Can you please add the links to the lava rocks that you used for drainage as well as the soil?
He made it look really nice 👍🏽
I ordered a Dwarf Wisteria from Eastern Leaf. Plant came and it was in excellent shape. I went to check it with my iPhone plant app to see what species of Wisteria it is and it told me that the plant was not a wisteria, it is a Curry Leaf tree.
Loved the video. I wondered what the tree is that you are re-potting and where you would purchase one. Also, the lava rock as I have not come across it before. Thank you.
Hi I was wondering do you thighten the wires in a x pattern are all on the same sides. Great material on repotting bonsai trees.
Insane! I would never have know how tough you can treat a plant like that
What a beautiful tree!.
I’m thinking of the list I have to make to repot my tree and wire lava rocks and soil ? Wires I’m going to go back to the same place and ask for help first going to get my pen paper out and take notes watching your video again
Awesome...thanks so much fopr taking the time and effort. Very clear, helpful and understandable !
When I saw the thumbnail I thought it said "Reporting a bonsai tree" 😂
Yes sir this tree stole my robux
This is beautiful sir jason, God bless you

Perfect video thank you I appreciate the the quality and in depth information. Liked and subscribed!
Very good, what is the repotted tree like now
Thank you very much! This is a really great video. Just got my first bonsai and to be honest was really scared if i can take good care of it. But after this video i will be ok i think. Thank you again!
Should I repot the outdoor juniper I just got from online. I haven’t had it a week. It’s probably 4 or 5 years old. It’s pretty big
Very good instruction. Thank you very much.
Can you do a video on bonsai soil? Like what repotting soil we should use and why, what nursery soil we can use...
Ok, I really underestimated the process. I need to go to the shop again.
If you are starting with a tree you bought from a nursery (like what you had in your wiring a branch video) do you need to only focus on one activity at a time or can you do it all at once? I was curious if pruning, wiring, and shaping the tree then repotting it into a bonsai pot at the same time would shock the tree too much and more easily lead to it dying.
bela planta, belo vídeo...parabéns...
Beautiful bonsai tree and planter.
I'm reading that bonsai trees should be re-potted in Spring. Is that a hard and fast rule? My umbrella tree really needs re-potting and it is September. Thanks! Great video!
So the pot you got the tree from at the start is way bigger than that pot, do you put your tree in a big pot to get more root growth and then just repot it once you get your desired length, and do you just have regular soil in the bigger pot or special soil with rocks and wires like what you’re doing with the good pot?
Thanks for this video! Super helpful!
One question:
Do you remove the wires that secure the tree after some time, or just when you repot it again?
just when repotted. Those wires create a base anchor
Thanks for the video but i have one question.when r u gonna put the tree again in the soil? like it was before the repotting
Thanks.
Hi and thanks for teaching us how to do this great worck ; after this how long will it take intill i have to repat the tree regards from puebla mexico
Hello Jason.
For how long do you leave a Repotted Bonsai in a Shaded Area or Semi Shaded Area and then place it in an area where it gets full sunlight?
Thank you.
Your a good Teacher ,thans for your classes and a lot of idees that you are showing me !
Where you buy the products like the accademia and lava ?
That is a really beautiful bonsai.
please make a video about pruning !!
Great video! Thanks for the help!
Jason I love every video of yours I've seen. You've been great help (I'm new). If you haven't will you please make a video pointing out what soil mixture is best for as many trees as you can? I have several Jupiter nana's, a black pine, azalea, jade & a few others. tyyplease send me the link to video if you do. th
Awesome !!! I appreciate your work and dedication !!!
Do you. Have a video when you wired this specific tree ? Because by looking at the soil at the beginning of the video it was a. nursery bush, and second question is , after reporting do you leave the tree in the shade or straight sun, thanks
Can I use copper wire to fasten my roots or is copper not good for the plant? Two part question I don’t have any screen mesh if I put rocks over the whole will that work?
In order to get the bonsai that big do you first need to have the bonsai in a very big pot? Or could you grow your bonsai to that size with a small pot from the beginning?
Best way is to grow in the ground to get a thick trunk and tall stem, then dig it out. If you can't do that then yes get a deep pot.
This is extremely cool and just what I needed to help rehab a spine injury.
I can DO THIS!
🙏🏻🙏🏻👊🏻 🌲
DevInvest Hope you get well soon!:)
That was a great video. I am new to bonsai trees. I just received a Chinese Elm Bonsai as a gift. Thank you. If you can do a video on pruning I would greatly appreciate it. And how often and how much do you water, fertilize. Thank you again.
I have a Chines Elm also. Allow new shoots to grow 8-12 leafs and then cut back leaving 2 or three leafs. This makes for thicker foliage/canopy/pads/thicker ramification, and make sure you leave the outermost leaf growing in the direction you want the new branch to grow. If repotting, let it sit in a semi-shaded area for 2weeks to encourage the roots to take in nutrients for food, instead of the sun, cause you want the roots to get settled in the new soil and you want new roots to grow. Water your tree every few days or when your soil is just getting dry ie less soil sticking to your finger when probing. Fertilize twice a month to feed it. Mist the tree foliage daily to produce a balance which improves circulation in the tree. Also that keeps the branches from drying out and dying. Place your Elm outside during the summer in a location that receives both sun and shade. Bring your tree inside of its not time to water and it rains out. Bring your elm inside the house in the evenings in late fall when temp drops below 50F at night. When it drops below 50 during the day then keep your tree inside unless you want it to become pure deciduous and it will naturally lose most it's leafs. But make sure you never leave it outside if temp are such that water freezes, else freezing water will destroy your roots. You don't have to keep the tree in a garage in the winter, a cool place with dull sunlight is good for the winter with a semi-deciduous Chinese Elm. Oh and get some good Bonsai Soil+peat moss+sand 2-1-1 ratio. Repot every 2 years or little longer if the tree is older.

Matt Price Thank you so much for the information. Everyone was telling me to water everyday. My leaves are turning yellow and dying off. I stopped watering everyday and now watching it. It is still turning yellow but not as much. I don't want to loose my tree. Also…I got it as a gift and they bought it from amazon. I don't know when it was planted or if ever repotted. It is about 10 years old.
Thanks again for these terrific videos, Jason. What are some reliable sources for good bonsai tools?
Thanks for the lesson. Is there a specific time of the year that one should or should not repot?
Is it ok to bud pinch the new buds on a nana as they start to appear in spring? Cheers and thanks Steve
Great video! I bought a bonsai tree that looks like it should've been repotted a while ago. It has thick roots encircling the main trunk. They are the same color as the trunk. Can I cut those thick roots and just leave the main trunk. There also is a quite thick one growing over the side of the pot. I would appreciate any help. Thank you!
How many times would you fertilise the tree as there is know homus in the soil. Thanks great vid.
I transplanted a baby creeping juniper bonsai. My question if you know, I’m wondering if I should not water it after transplant?
Yea, thank you for making the video! I do appreciate it.
Hi Jason Chan from US, I am Francis Chan from UK. I have mealy bugs infested in my Jade plant soil. I rinsed off all the soil around the root ball and now only left with the trunk and all its roots. Can you give me some advice what type of bonsai soil or compost to repot the plant again? Thanks in advance.
What is the alternative of lava rock? Can i use chip of rock (clay for tarmac or granite chip) I have lot of them in my garden, for the base? Thank you
How much root should be removed for junipers when trying to fit it in the pot ?
New bonsai kiddo here. Question.
I'm assuming the wire stays in the pot, unless you want to change its pot?
Also, with regards to the wire on the branches. Do they come off after the tree gets use to the shape? Or do they stay on forever too?
I did this one a crepe myrtle pruned alot of roots kind of like you on thia video but now all leaves dryed out and falling. Any tips?
Ótima planta belo Bonsai...parabéns Abraço
