This video demonstrates root work for a maple (deciduous) and a juniper at the ideal late-February window, just before budburst. It shows species-specific handling, how to identify healthy versus problematic roots, and how much root to retain. Practical advice on post-repotting water management is highlighted. From using a root rake to treating bottom roots, the lesson covers every technique needed for vigorous bonsai growth.
