I recently received a "mallsai" bonsai tree and the first thing i
noticed were the glued on pebbles covering the soil. It's a juniper
bonsai. I have done enough research to know this is not a healthy
environment for the tree to be in and it needs to be removed very soon.
What i need to know is what is the safest way to removed these glued
on pebbles without damaging the tree or putting it into shock. After
these pebbles are removed, should it be repotted or will fresh soil and
a moss covering be sufficient to maintain a healthy tree? Please help.
