In this Bonsai video I show you my process of Repotting a Mugo Pine Bonsai. This is a Collab with Darren George from ‪@grobonsai‬ I sent Darren a tree to work on and he sent me this Beautiful Mugo Pine!
Check out Darren's Video Here ➡️ • Notion Bonsai Challeng...
Hi everyone! Today, I will show you the steps that I take to successfully repot a Mugo Pine for Bonsai. If you are used to deciduous trees, it can seem a little daunting when faced with a Pine, as there are different ways we should approach them. Not to worry! In this easy step-by-step video, I break down everything you need to know when repotting a Mugo Pine - from the tools used, how to assess the health of the tree, when the best time is to repot, how much root to prune off, and more!
I think Mugo Pines are great for Bonsai because they have small needles, dense foliage, and adaptable growth habits. These hardy trees are well-suited for various Bonsai styles and responding well to pruning and shaping. Over time when they develop gnarled bark and twisted branches they can look ancient, while their year-round evergreen nature ensures constant visual interest. Mugo Pines come in diverse cultivars, providing options for Bonsai artists to explore. Their rugged aesthetic and resilience make them not only aesthetically pleasing but also valuable for beginners!

lovely video. i was always excited to see peter chan's mugo pine videos so this was plesent. I had a potential video suggestion that ive been struggling to find good resources on as a beginner: how to identify common bonsai species. I am struggling with the diffrences between the types of pines and junipers etc. might be nice for some others getting into the hobby also

Great job! I'm in the Greater Toronto area of Ontario, so our fall/winters are harsher than yours. I have several mugos. Some I have repotted in July (as per Vance Wood on Bonsainut), others I have repotted in April (usually a month later than other pine varieties I have). I have had success with repotting at both times. In the April repots I do more root pruning than when I repot in July.

Great info. I’m in zone 8b and have a Mugo in basically a brick it’s so pot bound. Just would love to put it in a bigger pot with a slop pot but so afraid to do it until Summer. Looks fine up top. I’m going to have to break the pot and cut the wire also. Any advice? Thanks

@shuancook9005 11 ай бұрын

Do you find the pines survive the winter after repotting and root pruning at this time off year and not waiting until the spring when all the hard weather has passed . I would be pleased to hear your results on mugo pines in England. My pines won’t survive the winter if disturbed now maybe to risky as we have -8 Here at times and my trees live outside . I know the practice works in spain Italy etc and practiced here also on very very healthy bonsai . Keep up the good work 👋 Shsun 👍

I like to size of the roll of wire at 10:30 Adam. Did you re-roll the smaller ones or did it come like that?

@Srafaelo 11 ай бұрын

I have always wondered if you have to remove the wire you use for tying the tree into the pot at a later stage to avoid deformed roots? Or do you only take it out when repotting after 2-3 years?

@notionbonsai 11 ай бұрын

It is removed just before it bites in 🤗 Once the tree is stable and established in the pot it is no longer needed to prevent wobble 🌳

Il mugo di per sé non è un'essenza facile ma la situazione si complica di molto con quelli da vivaio . In Italia sono spontanei in montagna , i boschi di mugo sono detti mugheti e i loro rami vengono trattati in modo da ricavarne un olio essenziale molto pregiato e dai molteplici usi . I yamadori di mugo sono abbastanza lavorabili ma bisogna ugualmente procedere con la massima attenzione , mentre quelli da vivaio sono molto difficili da gestire con le tecniche bonsaistiche ; se ad esempio si flette un po' troppo un ramo si rischia di perderlo e in generale mal sopportano le lavorazioni e , se sopravvivono , si bloccano , quindi generalmente sono sconsigliati . Per i rami seccati probabilmente è stato il poco sole oppure un colpo di secco di varia eziologia ; le radici non erano a mio avviso un granché , poche micorrize e un colore non ottimale , per cui avrei fatto un inoculo con micorrize e messo l'esemplare in uno scolapasta da cucina , metodo che si utilizza per favorire al massimo l' areazione , usato spesso con i pini . In ogni caso mi auguro che sia tutto andato per il meglio , ma se così non fosse non fartene una colpa in quanto quelli da vivaio creano qualche problema anche agli istruttori

My dear... If you believe you can remove ALL microbs just by removing the soil from roots (especially if we mind mycorrhizal fungi, i.e. those, which are tightly attached to the roots)... Well... Dream on...

@notionbonsai 7 ай бұрын

You're absolutely right! 🤗 Completely eradicating all microbes, especially mycorrhizal fungi that intimately associate with plant roots, isn't feasible by merely removing soil. While repotting or transplanting a plant involves removing some soil, it's impossible to eliminate these beneficial fungi entirely. By incorporating some of the existing soil into the new mix, you're providing a familiar environment that aids in the quicker establishment and growth of the plant after repotting. 😊🪴
