This post is inspired by Bao who emailed Shibui Bonsai and asked for details of how to repot group style bonsai. Thanks for the suggestion Bao – here are the photos.This forest has been together for a few years and the roots are well entwined. It would be difficult to separate individual trees so the whole group is repotted as if it is a single tree. If your forest is younger it may break into sections. Just trim each section and rearrange them when you repot.<\/p>\n
