#Today more #ThickTrunkTuesday of a #Bonsai (Pinus Contorta) that I purchased about 4 years ago…and have never touched, soil wise. I know it must be tight, but the tree is flourishing and the needle length compact. I wanted to look at the soil to see if intervention was needed…and luckily, they hadn’t wired it in, so it lifted easily.
Fine ramification of roots and a healthy batch of beneficial fungi tells me all is well enough to leave until next winter/spring potting time. So, back into the pot it goes and keep it hydrated as well as possible through the hottest period and all should be in order.
Note: The white material on bottom of pot and on inner pot surface (shown in soil after lifting from pot) is a good sign of a healthy pine.
