Hey Ryceman,Ryceman3 wrote:Now that's what I call a root prune! Never tried the plastic disc underneath either so I'll be keen to see how that comes out, I like the idea behind it. Is that 100% diatomite you have potted it in??
The extra movement in the trunk below the surface was a bonus... Looking good!
Not 100% although it does look it in that photo. I hadn't watered it yet so the diatomite dust is hiding the pine bark nuggets, its probably 50/50. I use the pre mixed stuff from Bonsai Roots. I believe it's made up by a member at the Vic Native Bonsai Club. Seems like a great little substrate to me although I'm still quite new to Bonsai.
Haha Chris I too have limited experience with root pruning / repotting but I guess there is only 1 way to learn how far you can push it right? I'm guessing it will be fine being a Chinese Elm although time will tell.chriswaghorn wrote:I wouldn't have the guts to root prune that hard!!
But I do have very little experience.
