Hello,

This upcoming Spring will be the completion of my first full year cultivating Bonsai. I'm very excited about the coming seasons since I have a bit more experience behind me now. One thing I have not experienced yet is repoting and while I have many questions about it, the most important one to me right now is regarding San Diego, its weather and Bonsai.
I guess it's not just about the weather in San Diego but in the overall climatic zone of coastal San Diego. In coastal San Diego, we are fortunate enough to be in a virtually "frost-free" area. Our winters are mild with average lows in the high 40's and average highs in the mid to high 60's. For that reason I was wondering if we need to repot our bonsai earlier then in other locations with more severe weather. I don't want my bonsai coming back from dormancy before I repot them.
I'm not sure if dormancy is more related to the amount of daylight then temperature, if so then I can wait until spring but if it's about temperature, boy I better get on it because today was about 75 degrees out there.

I've been trying to attend a San Diego bonsai club meeting for about three months now but my schedule never works out. Maybe next month right?
Thank you in advance.
