Peter, it was 45 mins into the video when you mentioned the virus and self filming. I hadn't even noticed! There are no quality issues with this format. The quality of your videos comes from your extensive knowledge. Thank you for all your time you give to create these videos and sharing so generously.

these plastic pots are great. They´re cheap, they give you an idea of how it´ll look like in a ceramic pot and they´re deep enough so they don´t slow down the growth too much. I know, as a beginner you usually want instant results but patience is one of the most important thimngs in Bonsai. You can get a nice ceramic pot when the tree is more refined. I grow my young mame and shohin bonsai in joghurt cups, cream cheese packages and noodle soup cups. They get nice pots when they´re more refined.

Thanks Guru Peter... I'm always recommending these videos on Facebook bonsai groups as people constantly post a pic of a new tree they've bought or been given and ask what they should do with it. Even though I've been doing this for a few years I learn something every time I watch one, and they've been great during winter nights while I work on my trees, and Covid lockdowns.
