This is an almost well-kept secret. Your comments about soil make perfect sense to me. My desire is to DEVELOP large bonsai. I am not in the position to collect large stock in the wild. So I plant my trees in oversize containers. However, I am continuing to use granite grit as my soil. Although I water frequently, I now realize I need more organic soil. I have long suspected this but everything I read or see and hear online is rocky, well-draining soil. Thank you.

By far the best video I’ve seen. As a beginner it’s hard to figure out what actually needs to be done, with the wealth of information online it’s easy to get confused, pruning and styling is everywhere on KZfaq etc but not many development videos that really give an understanding of how this all works. My first 5 trees were all in bonsai pots, I recently bought my first starter tree which is a lovely juniper in a plastic pot. After seeing this video I can now understand and envision how my tree wil develop. It’s also made me realise that one of my trees in a bonsai pot may need to go into a bigger plastic container as it’s struggling to grow foliage. Keep up the good work👌🏻

Your videos are excellent! I’ve been learning Bonsai for a couple of years (mainly from reading and KZfaq) and your videos really “fill in” the holes that you can get in your knowledge using those methods. I love it you have stuff on Australian Natives as well. We have so many beautiful trees in Australia it’s sad to be only using a few traditional Japanese species.

Hi! Love your videos, they go from 0 to 10 covering all minute details in a proper flow. Thankyou 😬 I have one query regarding pine, so by rule of 2 we have to keep 2 branch otherwise it will cause swelling, but during trunk development can we keep all the candles despite of them causing swelling as main focus is at trunk and not on refining?

@BonsaiEn 2 ай бұрын

In development you have to keep in mind where your tree will eventually end up. i always say in development leave as much growth on as possible where it wont cause any issues. if you have multiple shoots in one place that will cause an issue so prune to avoid the swelling. There are also a lot of trees that become apically dominant so if the tree isn't a species that can be completely trunk chopped to restart branching then you will have to also make sure you balance the tree to ensure you don't lose the lower growth you will eventually fall back on.

Hello there!! I have so many questions I could ask. I have some trees, some ficuses but they are already styled and in a pot when I purchased them and they are outdoors thriving. I recently decided to take on some juniper procumbens, one small in a clay pot and another in a nursery pot unstyled and bushy. I wish I would have seen this first! My question is are junipers forgiving of mistakes? I took the small one out a clay pot that didn’t have drainage holes put it in conifer blend but I do want to grow it, could i put it in a soil? Or should I wait some time? And can junipers regrow branches if they are taken off?

Hello and thank your for this very informative video! I have a few simple questions about the soil mix. You talked about using more organic materials in the soil mix for trees in development. What are the best materials to use and in wich percentage? Are there big differences between soils for deciduous species and conifers? Do I just have to use drainage materials like pumice/akadama in smaller percentage in proportion to a regular bonsai refinement mix or I dont really need them in a development soil mix?

@BonsaiEn 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Cosimo, When it comes to development most organic mix's are fine, i usually just recommend getting a regular potting mix from your local garden center and sieving out the really fine material. You can also add something like perlite for extra drainage or scoria. When it comes do deciduous and conifers there isnt much difference in the development stage, they both like lots of drainage.

@tombops1 3 жыл бұрын

Hey mate, great video as always, really loving your stuff. Just a quick question about moving into refinement. I've done a few smaller practice trees without much development and just rushed them into bonsai pots so I could practice. I've only had success with one buxus but I've done a few junipers as well and none of them have survived. Any ideas? I was thinking that maybe i reduced the root ball too severely for a conifer. Would it make sense to gradually reduce the rootball? E.g. potting down over a few seasons and only cutting a third of the roots off each time? Also when going into refinement do you cut all the top growth down and the roots at the same time? Or would you cut down the top growth first, and then focus on refinement while still in a nursery container and then repot into a bonsai container the following year? Sorry for so many questions. Thanks man

@BonsaiEn 3 жыл бұрын

Its hard to give you an exact answer but a few things to point out would be if you pottee the junipers right after you bought them there is a chance they could have been dead at the time of purchase, they can take up to 8 weeks to show signs of death. The next thing is you have to pot at the right time and provide good after care, the reason is that when you cut roots on a tree you limit its ability to take up water, if you put it straight out in the sun it will lose more water through transpiration then it can take back up through the roots. This is especially true in summer. Early spring is the best time to repot as its not super hot and the tree grows its roots back quicker during the growing season. I use the slip pot method to develop so as the tree gets bigger the black plastic pot gets bigger, and at the same time as the tree gets bigger the bigger the bonsai pot will be needed so you'll generally always be in the ball park of been able to get it in a bonsai pot without too much reduction. If you ground grow its a different story as the roots can get out of control
