after the tree dies just snap it off and break the mass of pebbles in
two and scrape them off. I got two nice little pots this way at a garage sale. I snapped the dead junipers off and threw them in their trash. A bit of soaking and a scrub down with a teflon pad freed the pot of its pebble shroud. Rootball went in compost and voila, two shohin sized pots. |

Rather than iggglebix's drastic suggestions, I suggest you give this a
try..... Believe it or not, this is exactly how I got hooked. My children bought me a J. Procombens Nana four years ago at Wall-Mart, which was nothing more than a little juniper branch stuck in a pot with pebbles glued on the surface. I removed the pebbles by tapping on them with a screwdriver, and prying the entire mess loose with a screwdriver. I then replaced the surface with common potting soil. Believe it or not, it survived !! Four years later looks rather healthy. In the spring of year three, I washed the roots off with a garden hose and repotted it into bonsai soil. I'm now into my fourth year, and like most bonsai newbie's, I've got far too many "potensai", most as a result of classes at Jim Doyle's place (Natures Way). Good Luck with your mallsai.
