I am still at the beginner stage of Bonsai where I bite off more than I can chew and chew like hell so not selling anything any time soon.

After re-potting these without any root pruning how long do people recommend they stay in a shady spot for?
Fair enough mate.

I think if you slip potted it you won't need to put it in the shade for very long if at all... Maybe just not in the belting sun for the first couple of weeks...

G'day,

Just thought I'd bore you all with an update.

I'm very pleased to report that every plant re-potted seems to be doing well and all but a couple have pushed through lots of new growth where before they had none despite it being mid November.

All are now in full sun and I have just started fertilising as well.

It was always in the back of my mind that new shoots may have been stored energy and that they may still die but it appears that all is well at this stage.

Cheers.

Glad to hear they are still alive mate!

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.
