Peter, I am always impressed by your videos and the teachings you provide. The only little improvement I want to say is to your camera person, if he or she could zoom in more specially when you are emphasizing something. As a viewer, I definitely can say that I would learn even more if I could see a closer look of your work. Thank you
Very informative video. I learned a lot. Thank you so much and you have a beautiful greenhouse
Thanks for all the great videos, Peter. Years and years worth of valuable information.
Danke Peter 🇩🇪
Peter, you are absolutely amazing . . . nothing precious or precise about the process! I enjoyed these reminders, in spite of having done this for many years. (Tell your friend I like his fashion sense.)
i buy nitting mesh from the walmart or craft store. its the same thing they sell for bonsai but cost less money. i make my own root hook rakes too. cherry wood handles and some steal rod sharpened to a point. thank you for the great videos peter! always learn something new
Good for. you. I used to use vegetable netting bags as a substitute or my bonsai mesh
Can you reuse the old potting soil by adding more organic material? Thank you.
@@laurasherrill2463 I hope Peter sees your question, but I will say I had a teacher who reused the potting soil, especially for pre-bonsai trees or yamadori trees being potted for the first time. Some people might be concerned about disease organisms or pests in the old soil, but I agree with Peter's opinion about not needing to sterilize used pots to repot trees. Just my experience! If a problem arises, you just deal with it.
@ Yes but make sure it is not smelly or putrid. Sieve out the old roots etc and remix say about half or less of the old soil with the new.
@ You are absolutely right. There is no substitute for experience . I use most of the old soil for trees freshly dug up from our fields when they are planted in large flower pots.
Thank you Peter,, I'll hold off another few weeks before repotting the Fukien tea tree , I have 1 of 3 1 year old cuttings to repot also, I have some mixed seeds stratifying would now be a good time to put them out ? Thanks again for knowledge explained so well as always 😊😊
Nerozumím ani slovu,ale těším se vždy na každé vaše nové video.Zdravim a přeji pevného zdraví Czech Republic
😊
I'm due to repot my Fukien Tea Tree it's been in its pot that it came in 5 years ago, I believe it's 20 Christmas just gone
Thank you Peter
This is a comment to rice the channel's rating!)
Beautiful Information of Bonsai tolls. ❤❤❤
So you can repot before the buds swell for deciduous trees
Excellent video, a ton of information.
Hello Peter thank you for making this video, they helped a lot. I watch your videos from Guatemala City
Very helpful, thank you for your lovely instructions.
Love this time of year. Thanks for the advice!
Very timely video Peter, starting repotting trees depends on where you live, the midlands and the North of England would be wise to wait a little longer than the south, maybe the 3rd week in February would be ok I think. Larch can be repotted now in most areas. Thank you Peter.
You are sensible - one has to adapt to local conditions.
It's a very good informative video. Thanks lot to elaborately discussed and demonstrated how and when to report the plant in a very simple manner.
Again thank you and good wishes to you.
As always great video….thnaks
2 questions
1 what is name of tool - the new style single metal tool for root detanglement - the silvery white you showed in video
2/ any update in the stolen trees ?
We just call it a Repotting tool - we sell it on our internet shop but dont ship abroad. No news of our stolen trees.
Another great video! Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge 🌳👍🏻
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Many Thanks Peter. Greatly Appreciated. STP
Carmona bonsai info video please!🏁
we have a week of frost in the southwest UK, maybe a dusting of snow.. so I'll hold out a bit longer, and clean up my tools to prepare
Thank u Peter!!
Very interesting video thanks Peter
Nice. Thx for sharing Peter...
hi Peter, another informative video on repotting however can you please let me know how your large black pine is doing after Kevin Wilson gave it an in-depth repotting last March. I spotted it in your greenhouse, in this video, while you were doing the repotting. You usually show this in some videos so was just wondering. Thank you, Steve
Yes it's doing well. We shall be styling it later this year.
Thanks mr chen
Good old Steve 🙂
A very interesting video, as always Peter. I have a couple of maples and a larch and have been using, as potting compost for years, just the standard John Innes number 2 compost. Just wondering what your views are on this? Many thanks for all your informative videos.
No problem with that - see what compost garden trees are planted in. So long as you check the drainage, any compost is OK.
Good information. Thank you
Me parece muy acertada la idea del maestro en dejarle un remanente de la tierra original al hacer el trasplante (una forma de minimizar algo tan estresante para el árbol)
Hi Peter, I don't see any videos about repotting junipers from nursery soil to bonsai soil. Basically putting a juniper into its first bonsai pot. Any help please.
Conifers will be repotted later. We will do another video on that.
Very informative video. Peter, I hope you remember me from the East Bay Bonsai Society (San Francisco Bay Area). I worked with you when you presented remotely to our club 3-4 years ago.
Just imagine if you did have to report everyone once a year, this would be the most ilaborate time-lapse in the history if RUclips 😂
Awesome video Peter, why is it that we wait till March to repot the evergreen trees?
How old are the trees you repoted
Korean Hornbeams about 40 yrs
I watch you go through a lot of dirt. How do you rejuvenate the soil and restore it. Do you screen it and separate the mix?
We recycle our old soil by either putting them on our growing fields or put them on our compost heap to rot with the leaves and other organic debris.
@@peterchan3100 and then reuse it or just get new soil?
@peterchan3100 I'd like to see a video explaining your different soil mixes used for deciduous, confier and tropicals. Do you increase the amount of organics in your tropical mix??
I would like to know when you know it is time to take the wire off that you use to tie the tree into the pot with. It gets pretty windy on my southwest facing balcony, and have had a whole bunch of my trees blown over because I cut the wires holding them in their pots. But I know that leaving the wires on presents it's own set of difficulties, too. So I'm a bit stumped on that.
We never remove the wires until the next repot
@@peterchan3100 🤔Okay, thank you, that's one less thing to melt my brain over. 🙂
Mr.chan, how about azelia? When to report them? Thank you very kindly
You can do it at this time of the year. Repotting Satsumas after they flower does not work in the Northern hemisphere.
@@peterchan3100 thank you Mr.chan. Very helpful of you
I agree Peter. Far to many people, especially on the internet, are using products like Akadama, Lave rock and pummace and don't really understand why. Having never taken the time to experiment with more common components. Many have only been doing pre-Bonsais for a few years and in all honesty will never have trees anywhere near show quality.
💯 couldn't agree more.
Salve signor chan,io vivo in italia,roma e i miei ulivi stanno gia germogliando! Io sto gia rinvasando.qui il clima è mite !
You know it’s repotting time when the Hawaiian shirts are out
I miei ulivi qui a roma sentono la primavera prima di olmi e quercus o carpini.faccio bene a rinvasare ora!? Volevo acquistare forbici,Ma non spedite attrezzi in italia?😢
Yes you can repot Olive now as you are in a warmer climate.
👍👌🙂
I dont kmow why more dont use a saw to cut/ prune the roots i used to watch a channel from Japan and the Master used a saw all the time really speeds up the process
Hello Peter. Is the mixture for nashi: akadama, bims and red lava 7:2:1 correct in your opinion? Greetings from Poland.😁
I dont know what bims is ? We use. 1:1:1 of Akadama/Organic /Lava for deciduous trees - For conifers we increase the Akadama and Lava, but you can judge for yourself. We dont use 100% Akadama for anything.
Bims would be pumice
Why would you use more akadama with conifers? Usually 1 part akadama 1 part pumice 1 part lava is the recommendation for conifers because they prefer more air while deciduous trees need more water. So akadama holds water and nutrients and you would therefore need more akadama with broadleaf trees. Do you use it that way because of the local climate?
@ why would you ask a question and then state what is “usual”?
@@kevinorr6880 because I am establishing what bonsai masters usually teach, then point out what Mr. Chan is doing (the opposite) and then asking why he decided to do it. I am trying to understand the reasoning from both sides
@@peterchan3100 Thank you for your advice. Bims is also pumice stone. :)
Thanks Peter,
Hope you had a wonderful Chinese New Year! 🐍💥🧨🧧🙏
Now know when to repot in February.
Take care and be safe.
Thank you I did.

It is so important to keep our culture that what makes so different as human. Each culture has something to share to mankind. Each culture is something special.
There is no one culture better than another we are all equal. It is giving and sharing our culture that stop wars.
That is why we are so different and we must share our values and differences.
Take Care Peter, and God Bless you and have a blessed day. 🙏🙏🙏
@@DavidChow-n4x - David - in case you didn't know - I am more Indian than Chinese because we were 3 generations in India. My grandfather emigrated there over a hundred years ago. I like to think of myself as a world citizen. - born and brought up in India - lived in UK since 1963 and married an English girl.
@
Peter, I know you were bought up in India and you were married to a English woman and that you were a cyclist and I think you were a engineer at one time but got interested in Bonsai. But I did not know it was three generations in India!
So how did great grandpa end up in India? I find people family history fascinating. Where you bought up with the British still control of India or did India got their independent as you were growing up?
I have a Chinese friend who parents came from Johannesburg, South Africa. Interesting his great, grandfather saw a sign on a sailing ship said “Deck hand needed going to “Golden Mountain.” He thought “Golden Mountain” was San Francisco, the 1849 gold rush. But it was for South Africa gold rush. 😱 It took their family two generations for them to come to San Francisco.
By the time they got here gold was gone and his father ended up as a cook in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.
Did your parents taught you some of the Chinese traditional culture or was your family totally adapted to the Indian culture?
Fascinating background. I am right now writing our family history and their experience in China and how they met here, before I forget the family history.
I never married so after mom passed away about three years ago I had more time to write and give my perspective between the two cultures. Although I was born in America I still cling to some of the traditional culture. I take what is best to the two worlds.
Hence, am big on Chinese New Year and Chinese history and customs, and food. I can hold a conversation and can cook Chinese dishes. But most of my cousin and young relatives have lost their connection with the culture. Just like my younger brother he can’t speak Chinese but knows how to order his favorite dish at a Chinese restaurant I consider that great. That least he wouldn’t go hungry. 🤣
Anyway you take care and have a blessed week. 🙏🙏🙏
