Preparing New Soil For Repotting

There are a very large number of soil mixes that are suitable for bonsai. As
has been previously discussed within this book, it is essential that the soil that is
used is free-draining and does not compact easily. Never use garden soils or
ordinary potting compost as they are not adequate for bonsai cultivation.
Removing The Tree From Its Pot
Cut the tying-in/anchor wires from the bottom and tilt the tree out of the pot.

If the tree is reluctant to come out, try tapping the sides of the pot with your hand
to try to separate the soil from the edges of the pot. If this fails to work, run a
sharp knife along the inner edges of the pot to release the rootball. Gently, lift
the tree to inspect the rootball.
