"Im going to be very gentle" followed by war time quality violence.

I dont even have a bonsai. I just watch him for me to relax

what i love about these videos is how "rough" he is with the trees. and they turn out beautiful. Of course he has decades of experience to know how gentle or not you need to be with these things. So many bonsai videos have people using thousand dollar tools to carefully trim one root at a time and stare at it for hours before plucking one leaf off... this dude just goes for it! love it.

I love to see the detail honestly, I watch your videos to relax. I’ve never found a video “boring”

Rumour has it Peter has only ever employed one person. The rest of his employees are air layers from the original one.

I had not even thought of more than one rock!?? Trees and rocks, both such passions of mine. Perfect marriage.

I would love to see it now, 3 years later. Love this channel.

Thank you Mr. Chan. You have taken the anxiety out of Bonsai.

"I don't like to bore you with the detail" Please sir every detail I'm learning so much

I Love the “boring details” gives me a good understanding of how to do these things start to finish. Thank you for your videos!

I'm new to bonsai (3 years) and you never cease to amaze me. I can't wait to see how this looks in the end (if there is such a thing in bonsai). I'll be back in 20 years to see the results.

Very interesting to watch, and please continue to include the “boring parts”, as you call them... to us they are priceless ! Nice to be able to rewatch and pause, as we try these things. I have started to sit pots on gravel for roots to extend! Thank you so much for these videos. I am planning a day soon to start rewatching all your videos! It will be a special treat !!

New to the bonsai hobby, you are very interesting. The "boring stuff" is the most interesting. Thanks for teaching all of us!

You are the best sir ,all that bla bla from all so-called experts ,you make it understandable and interesting to do and watch ,thank u for the down to earth lesson .

You are the best Peter I watch all you videos I am an 11 year old and I live in America I wish I can do what you do

1:27 "... why dont we take it out carefully..." *proceeds to tug and hank roughly xD

Please continue with the "boring parts"- they are sacred to your Students.

And hopefully you'll be showing us all your experiments for many years to come. Excellent stuff.

I kind of love how all of these are completely unedited

I could listen to him say root over rock for the rest of my life

THATS THE WAY TO DO IT, JUST SHOVE IT IN THERE!! No fannying about . Love it. 😁

Speaking for the crowd that discovered bonsai less than two hours ago, we LOVE your content! keep filming boring details!

"The Japanese are fond of pressure-washing the roots. I think it stresses the tree." (I prefer to use this gentle, minimally-invasive technique.)

I would like to see 6 maples rotated together as one tree. It sounds like I should run a few 50 year experiments myself.

this is the bob ross of bonsai. Thank you!

Thread grafted my maple to add a Branch and it worked, similar to what Peter was aiming for.. Thx for sharing Peter, until next one and stay safe to all..😇

Thank you for your videos. Please continue showing us every detail. I can not feel bored from your experience and demonstrations. Wish you alle the best.

I like the root over rock. It makes the tree look very old. 🐲🐲🌲🌲🌲🌱🌿🎍🎍

Rock bonsais look amazing! thanks for sharing

Keep us updated on this beautiful one you showed us at the end, please.

i absolutley love how he teaches and shows everything. even using the translation for things, like surface roots... makes this even more interesting. stay healthy and teach for many more years! :)

"We are going to be very gentle..." - 9:33 🤘💀🤘

He made a Bonsai masterpiece in 1:08 mins!

Never understood why your clips get thumbs down, you make the most comprehensive and easy to watch bonsai videos I ever saw and I saw a lot. P.S your webpage does not work, will not load.

Steve coming in clutch, what a mad lad

I love root over rock bonsai, they look absolutely gorgeous! I'm looking forward to see more of your 'crazy' experiments and the results :D

Just want to say thank you for all your videos Peter, your knowledge, philosophy and no nonsense attitude are greatly appreciated. I look forward to every thing you show us. Cheers from Australia mate 11

This is relaxing to watch. Even if it sends like a long boring process. It's interesting to see

i like bonsai very much, i',m watching because i want to make one for myself.

I've been waiting for this video a long time. But it has been worth it. Hope to get a follow up in spring and summer!

Btw, you mention that you don't like to bore us with the boring parts.. personally I enjoy the boring parts. Watching you work these trees gives me confidence to do more with bonsai. Keep it up, thanks for quality videos!

"this i've been having for 15 years", i'll be bac in another 15 to see how those twigs worked out in the gap

Don’t ever worry about boring us with the details. That is the best way to learn something well.

Phenomenal ‘experiments’. This gives me some inspiration about reviving an almost dead potted tree that the gardener wants to throw out in the trash.

I love how he absolutely brutalizes his trees. So chaotic

ah, i was wondering why everyone was saying they liked the "boring details". admittedly, i noticed the quotation marks but i still thought it a bit rude haha. i didn't know it was because you feel the smaller details themselves are boring. you sir, may fear you are boring your audience with the smaller details, but i can see from your fan's own "mouths" that you are too hard on yourself. almost everyone who's been with you for awhile can attest that they like when you give them the "boring details". they hang on your every word and are eager to learn the valuable information you have to teach. your fans love you and are more than willing to be patient :) as is needed for the art of bonsai, so I'd say you lucked out!

So happy I just discovered this channel.

The Bob Ross of Bonsai :)

ure the master of all the bonsai reform schools.... congrats

This is perfect timing Peter! I was just doing this too my trees. Thanks for the videos as always.

Learning from scratch this amazing art of Bonsaï since 2 weeks now, almost done watching the full serie of your Bonsaï Training sessions online, and I must say, there is not a single piece of information that I could switch away, every tip given is just trully as simple and common sense as priceless, and I am taking notes from you since the very first video ! Many thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience, much appreciated Sir !

Please be Safe Peter, 6'...you are too precious to lose! Another Great video!

Boy oh boy you need a proper tangle teezer to get those roots untangled! Very beautiful lesson, thank you so much for sharing the "boring" stuff with us

Love the creative experiments. So fascinating.

Finally a video with r. over r. love it. I'll have to try it again.

EXCELLENT tutorial video, sir! Thanks for sharing this technique with us.

Thank you so much for sharing all of your experience with us on KZfaq, watching you work has inspired me to get into bonsai

Bob ross of bonsai. Super chill. And informative. Thank you.

God bless your soul Sir, thank you for Sharing your passion.

I like seeing the details, it’s relaxing to watch the practice of the art

I love rocks! I shall try that with my new born chestnut later. Thanks, Peter!!!

My newbie brain says "That three tree combo would look great even now in a flat dish. It's all about the rocks 'n roots in that one! :)", however nowadays, I GET the long game and understand your air layering goals etc.

he is so right about maples in florida they grow like weeds they always pop up in my plant pots too

please keep doing this videos, u can include the boring parts if you dont mind… I like your bonsai filosofy… don't you ever be afraid of experimenting and let your mind go

Great videos!

Take care of yourself Peter. Stay safe,stay healthy

I like the "boring parts".

I was super inspired by this. I have a great looking maple and I decided to try a root over rock style. After exposing all the roots it had a beautiful root base that fit perfectly on the rock that I chose. I followed the instructions on this vid so im super excited to see how it turns out in the future

Thank you so much for all the information about bonsai, it's fascinating! I am trying it out with 2 plants, and am very grateful for your help.

So much knowledge. An amazing person.

Feel like watching him n improving bonsais in my collection always.It is really a feast for my eyes.

Awesome as usual...

It's my first time really to see these videos and got hooked of this bonsai making! I just loved every detail shown and discussed. I love plants! Hope to get started!

Thank you for all the detail....appreciate your videos and you.

love the videos, please keep them coming

There was a sapling growing at the trunk of the tall tree at the corner, and last year I spent a few hours carefully chiseling it out. One of its roots went directly under the main tree, and the others went around the trunk and out several feet in all directions.

I love watching the whole process, I think every part of your video is interesting

Absolutely beautiful ! Bravo Peter !!!

Your right the detail is boring but very important and am Glade you show all the little stuff plus tell how it could be done and your opinion on why you do it your way

You convinced me to get a pomegranate bonsai

I have probably made this comment before but once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge Peter :) You are a huge inspiration and learning source. Hope to start my own bonsai/garden tree nursery one day but here in Sweden.

love watching you fight with a tree 🤣

You say "I don't like to bother with the details" but this is one of the reasons I watch your videos, you're not afraid of showing the details of bonsai care, and it's really important to me when taking care of my tree, I'm less afraid of doing wrong now that I studied the details of what you do. Truly, thanks a lot for your teaching, it suprasses by far all the litterature I read ont he subject. Speaking of which, do you have any litterature you recommend on bonsai ? Because you often say stuff like "I read that in the litterature but I don't apply that", but the I don't really know what to read or where to look (for example, when u said that some people say that we should water the tree once a week when it's really dry, and you said in a another video that that is not what you advice). I'm not a native speaker so I don't really know how to search for great books in english (and the one I've found in french aren't that suitable for me, particularly there's not so much details) Thanks again for your passion

Both very interesting trees. ☺️ Would love to see that second maple again when there is some progress with those twigs. 🌿

Quite interesting and cool. I had really wanted to see how this was done so thank you. . Maybe at some point you can touch on keeping all those roots viable and not drying out so exposed. I had thought of using spag moss but I though that would cause a knot of roots due to the moisture so I was left with what to do short of watering everyday (sometimes more in hot summer) like I do with my orchids like mounted ones or vandas. Thx for sharing.

gotta love this man's commantary

Love you sir thank you for teaching

It’s like you read my mind! I noticed one of my maples had roots that might work for this. I decided to wait until next spring to let the roots grow longer.

Greatest ideas. Thanks 🙏

I really love watching and learning from your videos. The clarity and selflessness of sharing your knowledge is truly amazing. I am literally a baby in this space and your videos help me get motivated to learn more. Would you have knowledge on what are the best trees in India that make good bonsais?

thanks for your inspiring video!

I love!- ❤️Doing something kinda similar with one of my maple being inverse into it’s self. I grafted One part of the limb to the stock of the tree.,held in place with a thumb pin ,wire or Pruning clay.👍🏻

Thx for this video, I wanna try this with my Ficus petiolaris. 👍🌱

The art is in the details.

Peter hacks the tree/plant as if there's no tomorrow and they become beautiful Bonsai, I take a glance at the plants and they die :(

You are wonderful so talented 💖

I just received 30 Japanese black pine seeds in the mail, I have them sitting in water for 24 hours will do scarification/stratification for a month and see what I get! (Located in Canada!)

I'll be starting my bonsai garden this year

The way he detangles everything

Thank you Peter
