Greetings!

Looking to repot my chinese elms after a long cold norwegian winter. The soil has thawed and i believe they are about to spring magnificently to life.

Upon removing the bonsai from the pots i noticed a clear thick jelly like substance around the roots. What is this? Is this winter protection (was -20c some weeks), do i need to wait for repotting?

Advice requested, pictures for theme

Could it be some kind of eggs? Snail slug? I would re pot and get rid of it as soon as possible.

Not sure, its still in nursery soil so highly possible i guess. I’ll get on with the repotting.

If you post a picture that we can see what you have there..

Here are some pictures of the jelly

This is the sort of jelly that I see when I plop elm cuttings in water for a night after cutting them

.

I would say it is sap, in other words, maye the roots got damaged. If it were my tree, I would just repot as normal.

Looks as if the roots were damaged/rotting so they both had quite a heavy root prune. Heres hoping it helped with some new soil and they survive and come back thriving
