That should be a spatula, not a root rake.

Check wheter the plant is wired to the pot next time. It should, with a wire through the holes.

Why not listen to auk; why not listen to the advice you found. Leave for now, worry about repotting when the right season arrives. 名媛直播 is about the long run, and not about todays urges. Train patience. Read. Learn.

I got another qustion guys, (dont think i should start new topic). Becouse my bonsai is on my windowsill in my room, it's facing sun always from the same side, and its growing much more rapidly from that side, so should i like turn it 180 degrees every few weeks so it would grow more evenly?

Yes. Or better yet, keep it outside while winter is not here.

Hey guys, my tree has been growing nicely for the past few weeks, but i noticed that some leaves are getting a little dry while still being green, and some of them even fall of. There isnt too much sun nowadays, and it's colder so the soil remains wet for extended periods of time, so i dont water it nearly as often as before, some days i dont even water it once, becouse when i stick my finger 1/2 cm into the soil it seems like i can feel it's a little moist.

I read somewhere that if the leaves remain green, but are getting wilted/dry it means that it doesnt get enough water, but im scared to overwater since it came with a hard-packed soil, i feel like its not porous enough.

..so the question is does the kinda dry but green leaves indicate that bonsai doesnt get enough water?
