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!

Well made tool.
This is an extremely well built tool for the price. The tongs are heavy duty and extend into the nicely crafted and ergonomic handle. I'm going to apply a wood oil or sealant to protect the finish of the wood. I see this tool lasting for years and years.

Well built
Very sturdy and solid tool. Came with raw, unfinished wood handle. Looks just like picture now after I stained it with one coat of provincial minwax stain and several coats of satin polyurethane. So you can stain it to your preference.

Glad I purchased it
I used this when I repotted my Ficus bonsai tree. The rake was worked well getting through the tangle of old roots and helped pull out the old soil. I was able to remove the old soil and not destroy the old root system.

Extended fingers
Very comfortable in my average man hands and feels like an extension of my hand. Works well in pots, mixing soil, loosening roots. Feels solid. Almost as comfortable as an elk horn

...one solid tool!
I haven't had the opportunity to use this tool yet... although I have plans for this coming week. But I can tell you, this is one solid tool! And the wooden handle is nicely contoured for a comfortable and secure grip. I have no doubt that it will serve me well and I look forward to my first reporting with this tool.
