Fall is in full session🍂🌿

As the seasons change, so should some of our bonsai care habits.

Watering, fertilizing, temperature protection, and timing all become important as we transition toward cooler weather.

And remember, what works for your tropicals might not work for your deciduous trees.

Know your species. Pay attention to your trees. Enjoy the season.

Sometimes the branch that looks the most out of place is there for a reason.

Runners and sacrifice branches can help us build thickness, taper, and stronger development before they’re eventually cut back or removed.

Not every piece of growth needs to be immediately brought back into silhouette.

Know what you’re developing. Give the growth a purpose.

And sometimes…just let it run.

What exactly is APL soil? 🌱

Akadama. Pumice. Lava.

Three classic bonsai soil components, each doing a different job within the root system.

The Bonsai Supply just released their new APL Mix, made in a Shohin sized particle, and in this reel we’re breaking down exactly what’s inside and why these three components work so well together.

35 years old, a massive root ball, way too much soil, and somehow I decided this sounded like a relaxing afternoon. 😂

Godzilla got the full repot treatment.

Fresh soil, roots cleaned up, back into the pot, and ready to keep doing what he’s been doing for the last three and a half decades.

Did I dramatically repot my favorite tree to Linkin Park?

Absolutely.

Would I do it again?

Also absolutely. 😂🌳

Godzilla lives on 🤙🏼

Your bonsai isn’t going to look perfect all the time, and it doesn’t need to.

Sometimes we let them grow wild. Sometimes we cut them way back. Sometimes they look worse today because we’re building something better for tomorrow.

The question isn’t always, “Does my tree look good right now?”

Ask yourself, “Is my tree moving in the right direction?”

Embrace the awkward stages. They’re part of bonsai too.

Follow along and enjoy the LIVIN that happens along the way 🤙🏼

Why would you remove perfectly healthy leaves from a bonsai? 🌿✂️

For me, there are 3 main reasons.

Styling and easier wiring.

Reducing leaf size.

Encouraging new growth and better ramification.

Defoliation is a powerful tool, but like everything in bonsai, there should always be a reason behind what you’re doing.

Know the why. Read the tree. Make every move with purpose.
