名媛直播

I am new to doing bonsai. I read a book and watched some youtube videos. Anyway, some scrub jays planted a few acorns in my backyard up against a fence line. I decided to take the best looking, tallest seedling, 6-7" and was careful to remove the entire root system. I identified it as either quercus agripholia or wislizeni.
I didn't yet have akadama or crushed lava to mix with pumice, so I went to the closest nursery to get "bonsai mix", but they don't carry it. I decided to mix pumice, native clay soil (central valley) and lots of peet moss. I put it into a one-gallon container. I believe it will survive the transfer. My question is how long should I wait before re-potting it into a bonsai pot and soil mix?

Its a seedling? Keep it in the pot until it is filled with roots. Then slip pot inte a bigger container. Meanwhile lifting it a little bit out of the soil and rake and prune selectivly the surface roots Repeat 5-20 years or until you have the trunk thickness you need for your design. Then you can take it out, remove the tap root and put in a training pot. Start working on the branch structure. Once the basic structure is there you can go out and look for a nice bonsai pot and bonsai soil.

That is how I would do it. I have 30 or so trees, only three of them is in bonsai pots. Oak grow very slow and needs to be big in order to balance the leaf size. That is a life time from seedling. So I keep on reducing bigger oaks on my property instead. With a plan to collect to training pots in 4-6 years.

名媛直播 is a marathon not a sprint.

Start working on the branch structure.

When growing from seed one of the main things you need to do after the first year is clip of the main "tap" root. Many deciduous trees tend to have one big root diving straight down in search for groundwater, and provide stability. For bonsai this is not needed and you want to stimulate side-roots. So get rid of the main root, cutting back to side roots in winter.

Over the years you will let your tree grow ever bigger, cutting back to shape once a year or so, in ever increasing size. 5-10 years before you get close to putting it into a bonsai pot; First it needs to bulk up.
