First, prepare suitable pieces of wire to secure the mesh, which will prevent soil and drainage from spilling out through the holes in the bottom of the pot.
Prepare pieces of wire or raffia to support the tree until its roots become established in the soil.
Preparing raffia for securing bonsai
Using the prepared pieces of wire, attach plastic mesh over the holes in the pot.
Most often, a thin layer of sand, graphite or expanded clay has to be poured onto the bottom of the pot to ensure drainage. This is especially important for coniferous trees.
Bonsai transplant
It is necessary to sprinkle the bottom of the pot with soil and make a small mound.
Place the plant on a mound and fill its root system with soil. Do this exclusively with your hands, as any tool can damage the fine roots and endanger the plant. Compact the soil around the edges of the pot, you can use a special tool.
Secure the bonsai well in the pot.
Secure the tree firmly, water it well with a thin stream of water and leave it alone for a few days. Make sure the soil is well-drained and at the same time retains moisture well. Do not feed the plant for six weeks after repotting.
