Description

Every Bonsai needs to be repotted from time to time, as it continues to grow beyond the confines of its current pot. Clearing the old depleted soil caked to the roots is a vital part of this process, and BonsaiOutlet's own two-prong root pick is the perfect tool for the job. Cleaning your Bonsai tree's roots is necessary whenever it's repotted. The longer it remains in the same pot, the more caked-on the soil around the roots will become. Left for long enough, this can begin to suffocate the Bonsai as fresh soil and fertilizer cannot penetrate the ball of depleted soil surrounding the roots. Our two-prong root pick is perfect for busting those soil balls without damaging the roots. The pick has extremely sharp points, but smooth rounded sides. This allows it to first break up the soil ball, and then carefully knock away soil accumulated around the roots without damaging them. Plus, the ergonomic wooden handle on our two-prong pick is comfortable and allows for easy repotting without hurting your hand! This large two-prong root pick is best for larger trees with wide roots. If you have a smaller Bonsai, we suggest a smaller three-pronged rake such as our Rake & Tweezers multitool. Bonsai trees are famously long-lived: Some of the most famous Bonsai are now hundreds of years old and still going strong! Proper repotting is one of the most important factors for ensuring a long Bonsai lifespan. With an official BonsaiOutlet root pick, you can quickly and easily clean your Bonsai tree's roots and help it reach its full potential. Satisfaction guaranteed!
