The classification of plants shall, for the purposes of the show, be that given in the B.C.S.S. ‘Handbook of Shows’ 10th edition.
Clear notes on what plants are and are not admissible in these classes are given in the B.C.S.S. ‘Handbook of Shows’ 10th edition.

Can i ask a question
I have a bonzai plant. It's 10 years old but it needs repotting, due to its size ..
Can or would it die off
It's sentiment not expensive

Any help appreciated .
 
It looks healthy but unkempt.
The trunk is really thick . I was concerned the roots would crack the pot and kill it off

Cheers.
 
Thank you . I just want the plant to survive. Plant needs a trim and a tidy up. So if repotted. Do i use the old soil and simply top up with compost..
