Bonsai Chabo Reduction & Replanting

I thought I would do a replanting since it is the season for my area. More will be coming!
The Chabo got a reduction in order to achieve good taper. It can be intimidating to make such a large cut, be brave! Also trimmed all over and brushed her with a brass wire brush.
I love to do repotting! Probably because it is bringing the design factor back into it. I love designing, creating them!
I changed the layout some and decided to switch the back of the tree to the front. I also used less rocks, lichen, and moss.
Do not forget to water right after planting, thoroughly!
Keep your freshly planted tree in a mourning sun for at least a month.
Happy Bonsai!!

I use lipstick. Now they have all colors to match the bark or just be whimsical. A natural wax that women use on their lips. On my roses, it lasts all winter. Plus not expensive. Dollar tree or yard sales. To be bold, you can get the glow in the dark lipstick for a magical effect for an evening view.

Hey there! Were you wire-brushing pollen cones?

[@bonsaibabe808]

Hello! I am brushing off moss! It grows like crazy here because I have so much rain and humidity.
It is a constant!
