At least once every couple of years, all bonsai need repotting. Small or shallow-potted bonsai should be repotted once a year. We repot bonsai every year or two to keep the plant from becoming pot bound.
The plants you cultivate as Bonsai will either be Deciduous (lose their leaves in the winter) or Evergreen (keep their leaves throughout the year). Depending on their category, plants should be repotted at different times of the year.
