Learn how to make a bonsai tree yourself! In this video we show you how to create a bonsai from Bonsai nursery stock material. The tree we work on is a 12-year-old Juniper (Juniperus chinensis, Kishu), purchased at a local Bonsai center for about 150 USD.

I think $150 for such an excellent little juniper is a very good price. I'm glad it fit the pot you had chosen. You explained and demonstrated the process quite well. Thanks.

I would’ve put the bonsai on a drainer so it grows faster and left it there till the point it stopped looking like a spiral But this is still a really good job and design

Thanks Uriel. The tree is doing well - growing strongly now in spring. We'll do an update in a year, when the foliage will have matured and the tree will look great!

The juniper looks amazing! Can you point me towards a guide for growing the tree like that - I’d love to have something like that in 10 or so years time!

Well, that takes time and dedication. We just made a course about developing from scratch, perhaps watch some free previews here: www.bonsaiempire.com/courses/developing-from-seed

Some suggestions: First, prepare the new pot in advance of unpotting the tree. Second, prune more of the very long roots prior to repotting instead of winding them up in the new pot. Third, trim away the roots sticking up out of the soil in the new pot.

Hi John, preparing the pot makes sense - if you know which pot you'll use (we had a few options). And I would not recommend trimming those long roots in this case, as the root mass wasn't that strong. Better to wind them up, and prune on the next repotting when the tree is stronger.

Beautiful tree! I have a similar spiral trunk Itoigawa that I'm slowly working on. It looks like you put in the soil a small touch of zeolite. I noticed as soon as the water hit the soil a few rocks turned green. Is that zeolite, or something else like fertilizer?

@bonsaiempire Жыл бұрын

Its the soil mix indeed, fertilizer was added later.

@@bonsaiempire If you still have this tree, perhaps make a video showing it's progress and what you're doing to the tree a year after you filmed this.
