Hinoki Cypress Chamaecyparis obtusa, Japanese: 檜(桧), also known as just Hinoki, or as Japanese Cypress, is a conifer in the cypress family Cupressaceae, native to central Japan.
Hinoki cypress roots easily, and may need to be repotted every second year, removing as much as 1/3 to 1/2 of the root mass.
To repot your Hinoki Cypress bonsai, this should be done every three to four years in mid spring for younger trees and then three to five years for the mature trees.
