No bonsai plant can live happily for ever in the same pot. Eventually, it will become root bound; water will be unable to penetrate the soil, the roots find it impossible to grow any further, and the plant will die. Trees may need to be repotted because they require more space to grow in, or a new container may be chosen purely for aesthetic reasons.

This dwarf Juniper from Japan is the most popular evergreen in the U.S.A. When we think of a traditional bonsai and what it should look like, we think of a "Juniper Procumbens Nana". They are very hardy, long-lived, and tolerate many adverse conditions. This is an excellent tree for the beginner.

A handy rule of thumb is that young broadleaved trees require repotting every year; older trees need to be rehoused less frequently. Young conifers should be repotted every two years and older ones, perhaps every three to five years.
