Loving the Robin. How sweet to see this wild creature feeling so safe in your company, and being so tame. He needs his own Heron’s t-shirt 😁

Having a wild young robin staying close to you speaks alot about your person!

If not for Peter I would have never known what amazing beauty potentilla has. Now I adore potentilla

I really think it's time that Herons think about adding a robin to its logo 😂😂

It is amazing how that little bird just seems to know that Mr. Chan is a gentle person that will not hurt it. Soo Cute. So are the trees.

Adore the little Robin!

Good morning Peter. Oleeee. Thanks for these good times. A Hawaiian shirt already for that robin.

Oh my goodness this is the cutest video ever! Sir Peter and his flying accomplice!

The robin needs to be the Herons mascot

+1 really enjoyed watching the robin watching you! So tame 😍

This little robin is really too cute. The earth returned, it interests him because he knows that he is an insectivore and that his meal is there. Thank you !

Robin only turns up when he knows he’s going to be on camera 🤣🤣🤣. “ sorry I’m late Peter , I was in makeup “

First - thank you. Your videos are both relaxing and informative, and I appreciate both. I've played about with some ficus, mainly because I was given one of those sad grocery-store specimens in a plastic flower pot with epoxy and pebbles on top. I discovered almost accidentally how easy the cuttings are to root, and got hooked. I have bound together fresh cuttings stuck in florist foam which was places over a globular glass bottle, I hope to break the bottle out from the roots and plant higher, resulting in a cavity into which I can place a stone, and last year rooted some in the underside of a hanging basket (planting annual flowers in the top) - they are growing nicely "downwards" and in Spring I will invert the plant into a new pot, hopefully resulting in some interesting shapes without using wire at all. You inspire me to keep trying different methods. Once again, thank you.

OMG so cute! Best video so far. Please make more bonsai out of unusual material like fruiting trees. I love the Robin. So cute. Best bonsai mate.

Put a bird house in a large bonsai for the robin

Robin's always got to photo bomb. What a deva!

Funny when that robin turns up I think about Eric cantona quote - "the seagulls follow the trawler because they think fish will be thrown overboard" haha

Good morning! Well,this was very inspiring,again. And I think by now,your little Robin really feels at home,while watching you at work.

Got my first Bonsai today!!

Robin's Bonsai. Take care Mr. Chan you're training your competition!

Love the robin

Peter, that is an extraordinarily friendly Robin. It's worked out that it can trust you and is behaving completely naturally. You could train it to come to your hand by providing live mealworm. They can be bought in small tubs from a shop that sells lizards, or snakes.

Nice looking trees from scratch.

Loving that last one 😭.. beautiful. Bonsai that we all can do..thx for sharing and inspiring us Peter..can't wait for the next one..👍👍

Breath of fresh air your videos are peter .feel good factor.

What a treat! Woke up to watch your video. Been a fan since the first lockdown. Brighten up this miserable wet Friday. Thank you.

Watch it, mr Chan: reading the comments, this robin might take it over...! Regarding the Potentilla (fruticosa), I couldn't agree more. I have two of them left in my own collection (sold one) and meanwhile, quite some years of experience with it. They come indeed with bright yellow flowers and orange and also with white flowers. It is an extremely strong and tolerant plant and it can even overcome a bit of frost in a small bonsaï pot (allthough in that case, some protection would be wise). I adore them and even now, at this very moment, I'm growing a few more in my garden for future bonsaï projects. Potentilla has quite a few advantages for bonsaï projects, allthough also a few disadvantages. Perhaps this could be helpfull for my fellow bonsaï enthusiasts: Advantages: - simply: they are cheap and easy to get and, of course, very colourfull - they are very strong and very tolerant for any kind of pruning: roots, branches, leafs and can easily bare frost conditions and sunny and less sunny conditions (but they like enough water!) - they are very tolerant regarding the soil mixture allthough it must be said: never let them dry out. They warn you with hanging little branches and leafs... - even when they are still very young, their trunks allready look very old (an important advantage for bonsaï, of course) - the leafs are very fine and small and thus helps to get the effect of an older tree - they do make a lot of flowers easily (allthough the flowers are relatively large, compared with the size of the leafs) - they are also very suitable for shohin and even mame (the very little ones) bonsaï: in that case, you could reach a very satisfying effect relatively quickly - also very suitable for klump style (kabudachi)! Disadvantages: - the trunk does not thicken easily. My advice would be to plant it in your garden for a year, from time to time for example, and furtilize it additionally. That helps. Don't start pruning too soon, just let it grow strong, as mr Chan always tells us - relatively fast, you can't wire and bent the trunk anymore: it simply becomes to stiff quite soon - if you really want to stimulate the growth of the trunk, branches and leaves, you should cut the flowers or at least a lot of them. That leads all the energy to where you want to see growth. You should certainly cut the flowers after flowering: then it wants to make seeds and puts a lot of energy in that - it's true: if you want to grow a "respectable" or somewhat larger bonsaï potentilla tree, you should be patient and perhaps you should grow it in your garden first, for example for a few years. In that case, you could choose one, two ore perhaps tree branches and get rid of the others, just to stimulate the thickening of the trunk(s). Summary: highly advisable for beginners, be patient and never let it dry out, very suitable for rather small and even very small bonsaï (shohin and mame). Good luck!

I love barberries as bonsai. I wish I saw more around the way!

I love your ways of teaching. Every video you make is pure GOLD 👏🏼

Moin, Yes, I finally found your Video about Potentilla and Berberis. I discovered this shrubs a few years ago. To try to find a Potentilla with a Trunk I nearly gave up. I decided to get the best multytrunk and made it into a single trunk. With the Berberis, it grows so vigorously it is hard to be a head of the growth. But there are always so many branches..... endles options :-)) Potentilla makes a nice small Bonsai with interresting and colourfull redish bark and the Flowering is really nice. Thank you for this Video! By the way, I really like how you did your Videos, including the self made ones without someone helping with the Camera :-) To see your back is not that bad :-) The viewing angle is just perfekt! Please go on like that! Thank you very much!!

Potentilla's leaves make it such a cute bonsai plant.

Hi peter thank you for sharing more knowledge, I would love another video on oak bonsai particularly small English Oak. Thank you

You have inspired me to buy bonsai im working on starting my bonsai for. It helps my depression.

I love, love, love your robin friend :D

Just watched this video of using everyday garden trees for bonsai it struck a cord with me when you mentioned your book, create your own bonsai with everyday garden trees, so had to dig out that book from my collection of around 40 or more bonsai books inc all yours which I have owned for nearly 30 years and was my inspiration to start on the bonsai journey, it does have the potentilla featured on the cover, great book so thank you I think for starting me on the road to bonsai.

Forgot to compliment you with your sound recordings: quite an improvement!

love this video and ur little robin friend! thank you

Robin's Bonsai

next t-shirt should have a robin with an earthworm

Instead of herons bonsai you may consider renaming to Robins Bonsai as that little one is always so brave and friendly 😀

Just imagine a heron studying bonsai technics there Peter :)

Cute little robin 😉 i love your video sir.. Thanks for sharing..

Love this video. Looked up the plants. And the book. The bird thinks you are talking to him. But I know you are talking to me.

Love the video 👍 great inspiration

Robin: "Just tease out the roots a bit."

I like bonsai make from serissa tree,it small leaves and it's really cute

Confirmed: Peter Chan is Cinderella

That robin appear on every of your video, master Chan. It had become your copyright on KZfaq. 🐦 Might consider chang your logo from "two herons" to "robin" 🤔😁

Great hedges from berberis even dog or cat cant go through it heh

I love your content I’m new to collecting bones and you help me a lot and u always make my day

Super sir

How you get those beautiful fibreus roots

Always beautiful work but did you name the bird

Have you ever tried to bonsai eucalypts?

Can you keep them indoor

Peter, have you ever done Fuchsia, Bougainvillea or Hibiscus as a Bonsai?

🎋

Your Robin makes a great Mascot for your videos. What is the Robin's name?

I’m kind of in a bonsai emergency, my prized bonsai out of my collection that I’ve had for years has suddenly became brittle and I’ve watered it regularly. I repotted it and gave it fertilizer last year. It was doing fine a week ago and I’m not sure what I should do. Can you give me some advice Peter?
