Coverage: Fills approx. 5 small pots (5″/12cm pots)
How to Use: Select a young tree or shrub and pot it up in Westland Bonsai Potting Mix using a small pot. For the next 2–3 years regularly trim the roots and shoots. When the bonsai tree is ready to be transferred to its permanent container, fill the container with Westland Bonsai Potting Mix and secure the tree in the pot with wire. Before planting trim the roots so they fit into the container without having to be bent or forced. Keep the plant out of the sun and water frequently to allow it to recover. Each spring take your bonsai out of its pot and inspect the roots to see if plant needs potting on. Even if replanting in the same pot tease out the old compost and trim roots before adding fresh Westland Bonsai Potting Mix. Keep it out of the sun and water frequently to allow it to recover.
Keep plants out of draughts and away from intense heat. Spraying with water at room temperature twice a week and sponging the leaves occasionally to remove dust is also recommended. Nip branches back when they begin to grow otherwise pruning cuts will show up in wood and will be noticeable.
