Finally some movement in the greenhouse, buds are swelling and my Ume are showing flower buds. (not opened yet, but soon). It was time to repot a few trees, some were groundlayers that I made last summer, some were yamadori that needed a real pot and some just got a new pot and soil. The soil I´m using for conifers is a 1-1-1 mixture of akadama, lava and pumice. The so called “Boon-mixture” http://www.bonsaiboon.com/
For the deciduous trees i used straight akadama as they weren´t very large.
Pictures below..
