[IBC] Help Pentaphilla repotting
I have to repot my penthapilla that is about 50 years old and
I am scared to death to make a mistake.. I took it out of the actual container and a strong delicious smell of mychorize white fungus spread in the air the plant is very healthy.. but I am scared to loosen the root ball It has been transpotted 4 times in the last 20 years with very little roots cutting-and in a larger container and actually is a wooden wine box since 3 years ( that is going to explode soon ).. - should I take out MORE of 1/3 of the new roots growth or not ? -should I dig out some deep the OLD SOIL under the trunk( never did that before ) or not I am also looking for a quite large container ( the naked root ball actually is 12 " x 15 " heigh 6") not easy to find here ( the kind I want).. any NET-address to suggest ? I am in Switzerland Thanks Theo Theo: Is there someone near you who does bonsai, or a club? This isn't something you, as (I assume) a beginner, should do without help -- at least not by the sound of it. Find someone (or a club), even if you have to drive 50 KM to get there.
