To repot or not to repot

Post by dan.fisher92 »

Hey guys I drove past Bonsai World yesterday and thought I'd duck in and just have a look about.

I ended up walking away with a lot more than I walked in with :P

I did pick up a lovely fig, just wondering if it's too late in the season to think about re-potting or am I best to wait for next season. Thanks in advance! Oh also I live in Canberra!

Too late in which season? Where do you live?

Hi Dan,

It's a bit too early in the season. Constant temps above 16degrees are recommended in the wiki for working on figs. I'm doing mine in November.

Cheers,
Nigel
