How to Replant a Bonsai Tree

Grafting and pruning of bonsai roots

The very thought of this task, newcomers fill with horror. However, it is not a cruel thing to do at all - it makes a good thing for a plant, mimicking what would have otherwise happened in the wild. When planting a tree in a container, this process is obstructed. With occasional replanting and pruning the roots, you will do a favor to your bonsai, and it will reward you with health and a strong growth.

When and how?

The frequency of replanting depends mostly on the type, size, and age of each tree. However, the technique is the same, regardless of any of these factors. The best time to transplant any trees is the end of the standstill period before buds begin to swell. Apples that bloom in spring, along with cherries, should be replanted in early fall, and azaleas and quince immediately after they completed the blossoming.

May Photos [Video]

Every month, I make a slideshow video from photos I've taken around my home. I decided to make slideshow videos rather than dozen blog posts with pictures. In this video, you will see some specific May wildflowers, trees, flowers, and also some of my little bonsai trees. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comment section below or on YouTube video.

Tomato and Peppers Garden - Planting and Finishing

In my last article about Tomato and Peppers Garden - Preparation of Soil; I was writing about the preparation of Tomato Garden soil, tips & tricks, the way I do it.

It's not much of a difference then Preparation of Vegetable Garden Soil from Scratch, and you can find some useful information about that also.

Preparation of Vegetable Garden Soil from Scratch

Preparation of Vegetable Garden Soil from Scratch means that I managed to build a vegetable garden in my backyard, on a place where was nothing but grass and weed. I planned to build a garden there for a long time, and it finally come to a realisation this year. The best way to start? Start digging with a spade!

Spade is a special shovel designed for just that. It's actually not a rocket science how to start a garden, really. You don't even have to bother with all the green growing from the ground. When you dig a garden, piece by piece, you turn the soil upside-down anyway, and the grass rot below which also enrich the soil.

Picture: Use the rope to help you shape your garden.

April Photos [Video]

Every month I will make a slideshow video of some of the photos I've taken around my house. In this video, you will see specific April flowers, such are; Primrose, Daisy and Dandelion. Also, you will see Nectarine, Apricot and Cherry blossom. There is, however, one wildflower I'm not familiar with, shown in this video. If you know what kind of flower is that, please comment here, or on YouTube video. Next slideshow video will be about the progress of the Nectarine, Apricot and Cherry, but also Apple, Pear, Plum, and Melon blossom. Enjoy April in Croatia!
