The correct method and steps for repotting and changing the soil of bonsai
Whether to repot a tree bonsai can be decided based on the following aspects: (1) Generally, small bonsai are repotted once every 1 to 2 years, medium bonsai once every 2 to 3 years, and large bonsai once every 3 to 5 years. In the case of old tree stump bonsai, repotting can be spaced out by several more years. (2) For tree species that grow vigorously and like fertilizer, repotting should be done more often and the interval should be shorter; for tree species that grow slowly and need less fertilizer, repotting can be done less often and the interval can be longer. Old stump bonsai of the pine and cypress type are not suitable for frequent repotting. (3) Tree species with luxuriant branches and leaves and well-developed root systems should be repotted frequently.

The correct method and key points for repotting azaleas
Generally, potted azaleas need to be repotted after 2 to 3 years. As the plant grows, root growth becomes restricted, and the nutrients in the growing medium are gradually depleted, which makes repotting necessary.
