I just realized, after following this channel for months, that the book I was obsessed with when I was in middle school was this guys book.

Damn Peter be lookin fresh today in his Hawaiian shirt

If you are new to bonsai you have now found the best bonsai channel on KZfaq

Can we acknowledge the fact how well spoken this man is? Though it doesn't seem as if he had prepared any detailed script, he rarely stutters, searches for words, uses fillers or any other type non-lexical utterances. A joy to listen to.

Perfect timing for my morning coffee!!! Sending you positive energy from Germany

I’ve learned more from one of his videos than the hundreds I’ve watched!

A comment 2 years too late...but I just wanted to express my appreciation for this video...I learned from it, and re-watching it only re-affirms the knowledge transfer. An 'important to me' presentation. Thank you.

Peter is utilising the ‘stay home’ very well with constant videos. We r enjoying them equally staying home too. Lucky Peter doesnt allow cops to question him when he gets out of the house to go to the greenhouse.🤣🤣

As someone without a garden: THANK YOU

I love him. Being direct with an English accent is so much more pleasant.

I designed/pruned my first bonsai today with your help and videos. Thank you for your guidance and wisdom!

Yes, your book is now called Bonsai Beginners Bible. I got one at the end of 2019. I love it. It's great to have a look at some essential tips on growing different species. Best regards from Poland

I very much appreciate you always mentioning the botanical name of a particular plant - otherwise it would be near impossible for me to figure out the German name, to try and find it at my local nursery. Thanks a lot! Also I just bought one of your books "The Bonsai Beginner's Bible" can't wait to read it!

🙏🏼 thank you for passing on all of your tips. It’s insightful and inspiring.

Peter is without doubt my favourite presenter at the moment! So knowledgeable!

Your plants are beautiful. Thank you for showing us and explaining how to take care of them.

Thank you Peter you have made " quarantine" so much better!Please keep it up

I just found your channel and I love it because it is so informative. Thank you so much for these videos Peter! I am excited to start growing my bonsai

It’s alway’s a Joy watching you it give me a little Calm Thank You Master “P” 🙏🏿

I love to watch these videos. I love this teacher. He seems kind and he loves the details about bonsai. A teach must love the details or they're lost in the sharing of information.

I don't do indoor bonsai these days but way back I had great luck with dwarf ficus and serissa foetida as indoor trees. I kept the serissa over humidity trays in bright light and they were always happy.

I'm glad to see you in good health, master

A video about portulacaria afra would be wonderful! I've been growing them as bonsai for a while; they're indestructible, adorable, and by far the most forgiving tree I've come across. I'm always looking for more information on them. Your knowledge on p. afra would be invaluable, Mr. Chan.

Amazing to see Peters dedication and passion for Bonsai. I'm just getting started with Bonsai and there's so much to learn.

Loved watching this video! Your nursery is beautiful! If only I could visit!! I learned alot I have a ficus and it has lost all of its leaves I am a beginner so by just watching this I am slowly learning more. Thankyou for sharing your knowledge

It’s incredibly joyful to watch your video and listen to your wisdom. Thank you very much!🙏😄👍

Some of those outdoor ones are huge and absolutely stunning!! Just getting into bonsai trees. Trying to learn all I can.

I have only recently been bitten by the Bonsai Bug, and I'm coming into Winter here in SW Ontario, Canada! I really appreciate this video and in fact all of you videos Mr. Chan. I have learned so much and found so much peace in this practice. Thank you so very much!

Thank you Peter for the lovely tour, Only just watch your video now.

I’m just getting into these. They are really fun, and personal. I’m glad I found this pro to help me along!

Love that large podocarpus it's a beauty!!👍😊

Thank you Mr.Chan for posting and helping us

Love the scent of the pepper tree. Must get another one!

I love your videos. I have a wisteria I purchased last summer, and I was surprised it survived the winter. It has beautiful foliage so far, I can't wait for it to bloom.

Podocarpus is my favorite and also olea Europaea or olive. They are all beautiful Peter, thx for sharing and until next one..Stay safe to all too.. cheers

Thanks Peter. Love watching your videos it's like reading a book. Bonsai guru!

Glad to see you well, Mr. Chan. The videos are so valuable to calm and inspire during this madness. You are an essential service in my opinion. Also, your colorful garb always brings a smile. Keep up this essential work of bringing beauty and peace into so many homes. Thank you.

Subscribing to your channel from Montana. Challenging to work in this climate...have to move everything inside to a heated garden shed/greenhouse, in late summer, but that works out OK. Love your clear, concise instruction! Thank you for passing on your knowledge. It’s very much appreciated!

Thank you for keeping the videos coming x

i'm glad i found this channel, both great information and a great store to shop from 👍

Thank you, your videos are so informative, precise a entertaining, I am beginning to appreciate Bonzai trees, there beauty and care, ever since I started seeing your videos.

Great video! I’m new to the Bonsai world and absolutely enjoyed this exclusive tour!

Thank you very much, I find it very interesting. I am a beginner and enjoying looking after my Jade trees. The lazy Bonsai trees for beginner. Love it.

I loved it , out of the world. Saw it for the first time , just a beginner. You are excellent. God bless you 👍

I'm glad I found this. It came out on my birthday 2 years ago! What a great video though for real. I'm thinking about getting into Bonsai, I've always had an interest, but I think I'm gonna start walking down this path. Thank you for this informative program.

Just wonderful ...many thanks for sharing 🙏🏼

Amazing! Thank you so much for showing so much. I do have the ficus bonsais but yours are simply mind blowing👍👍👍👍👍

Thank you so very much for sharing your expertise with us. I just received a bonsai plant as a gift when my mother In-law passed away last month. The tag identifies it as Asian Bonsai. I first thought it was a jade but the leaves aren’t puffy-succulent like so now after watching this video I think it’s either a ficus or an elm. I’m a total newbie to bonsai and been binge watching videos. Strangely my daughter brought me a cutting propagating/rooting of a Japanese willow bonsai is what she called it last week so I’m in deep now. But I’m enjoying learning and love my indoor plants and I over winter my summer favorites in my living room for years (hibiscus, yellow trumpet tree, and Mandevilla to name a few) I love gardening. Been doing it for many decades.

I just ordered from your website 1 hour ago, and it looks like it's the one we see at 17:56. It's a star !!! yéééé

Hello Mr. Chan, thanks for the detailed description of indoor bonsai! For me, karmona is the most trouble-free tree. Year-round lives under additional lighting and with good humidity. I have two types: regular and small-leaved, I love them very much!

I am amazed by this information and the beautiful plants such as olives, kumquat and bougainvillea. I am currently working on these plants to make them bonsai plants ... Thank you very much mr.Peter I hope to be like you.

Thank you Peter. I live in Toronto and just looking to start this amazing hobby. Loved your indoor collection.

On the bucket list after lockdown: visiting Herons Bonsai 😊 Even if I can't bring anything back due to agricultural customs restrictions, I will be happy to experience such a wonderful place. 💚💚

It was so nice to see so many beautiful plants

Thanks Uncle Peter for creating these educational videos. It's inspiring and movitvating me to get started on my Bonsai journey. These videos will come in handy. 😁🙏

Thank- You! Nice tour and very informative!

Thank you for another wonderful video! I have the Bonsai Beginner's bible and it's really helpful - I'd love it if you could show us how you wire the jades!

Thanks Peter 🙏 very interesting looking at the indoor trees 👍

So happy to see you today in your Hawaiian 🌺 shirt 🌺love it! Happy to see you’re safe and healthy 🙏🏼 we enjoy watching your channel and hope that you stay safe and healthy 💖👏🙏🏼

Thank you so much for such an informative video and showing your amazing home 👧💖💖💖

What an amazing video. So much information. Thank you so much.

I really love your work and your your passion. I think, I feel the same way. It gives me freedom and feet my soul. I'm not an expert and I didn't want to have expensive bonsais, I learned to love these strong, natural threes, they teach me a lot about life and to hold on. I really love your work and your opinion.

Very thankful to you for your tour it was a pleasure look at your plants now that I know some of the new plants the jade is one of my favorite I just enjoy working with them thank you very much . Greetings from Suriname 🇸🇷

I live in Wisconsin, US and I came here for the Juniper, but I learned so much from your video, including why my ficus is doing so well next to our heated snake tank! xD Thank you for such a thorough and educating video! Wish me luck growing my lemon tree from the seed of a grocery store lemon! It's already about 15CM tall and I'm growing it for my fiancé who would love a lemon tree when we eventually own a house. It gets horribly cold in winter around here, so it'll have to be an indoor tree: I hadn't considered keeping it trimmed as a miniature tree, but that's a perfect solution! Thanks again for the great ideas!

The only channel where Im happier when the videos are longer.🙂

Thank you. I am sad I didn’t find you sooner I am afraid I have ended the life of the two easiest plants. Ugh. I am not giving up! Thank you for your teaching and guidance.

Thanks for the great videos. Very educational plus they are calming enough to put me to sleep at night.

Love your highly informative videos, so helpful, thankyou.

Thank you so much for this. I have wanted to invest in a bonsai for years and as I live in a flat has to be an indoor variety (even if it isn't strictly traditional). I was very interested to see you mention money plants as bonsai. I have a number of those, so I suppose I am already on the road. I have just now ordered a Japan Pepper Tree from your website and cannot wait to get started with that.

What a legend! I'm just starting with the indoor bonsai hobby here in Dubai

Best video on youtube about indoors Bonsai Thanks !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

lovely,one of your best videos,soooo helpful

Thanks. Very comprehensive discussion about indoor bonsai. Coincidentally I have your book you mentioned at the end. Yes It is untitled The Bonsai Beginner's Bible in Singapore. Super book. Cheers!

Just found you on KZfaq and would like to thank you for sharing you knowledge

Love these all you need to know's.

Thank you for giving tips for the species of bonsai to grow indoors..

Appreciate all your shared knowledge, Sir. Thank you.

I live in the Las Vegas, Nevada area. The Chinese elm grows outside here very well as a bonsai and in the landscape. They can take our extreme heat and our cold(even when it snows here). I find it interesting that it would be an ‘indoor’. Thank you for all your videos! I look forward to your new videos all the time.

Good morning Peter, I love to see how Mediterranean species began to become popular for the cultivation of bonsai, of course they are indoors there, in my patio species of ours like the olive, the mastic, the fig tree, or the pomegranate. When someone asks which species to start with in the art of bonsai, I always advise taking a walk through nature, seeing what species grow wild in your area and choosing between them.

12:22am stress/Red Bull/dab fueled panic attack, I stare at my plants in the dark trying to regain some sense of calm. The silhouette of the Japanese bloodgood brings me a good feeling along with the s shaped ficus and dawn redwood. Then I remember Peter! As soon as I see him and his trees I smile even more much more calm. Thank you Peter!

I enjoy watching MrChan's web site, it is alway entertaining and educational. Thank you Mr. Chan for showing what a true BONSAI MASTER really is......

Thank you Mr. Chan. Stay well.

I picked up your book back in 2017 in a second hand store in Southern California. I would take iit with me everytime I would leave the house. It wasn't until mid 2019 that I looked at the author and thought to myself, that name sounds familiar! It hit me then that it was you. I have been watching your videos for a long time now so it was a nice surprise to know I picked up one of your books. It helped me keep some of my trees alive when it was hard to find information on specific plants

Love the first bonsai he mentioned I like to see all colors.

Such great knowledge. Awesome

Whst a beautiful place he has, & I imagne that's Thanks to his knowledge of BONSIA. HIS BELIEFS & HEALTH. He seems such a kind gentle man. & I'm happy just watching him & his miniature trees. He loves them SOOooo very much.🦋🍂🍃🌱☘🍀🌿🌲🌳

Would love to visit your nursery and see all of your work but I live in the USA. So many beautiful bonsai. Thank you for all your videos.

20:48 aaaa, the googly eyes on the rocks

Love the portacopus. Sorry bout spelling. Love the Holly, brush cherry, the olive trees. The curly leaf willows we are trying to start will be out spring, summer and fall. Back in a cool room in the house for winter.

Thank you for this much needed information

Excellent video as always. Always good to see the pepper tree get a mention. It would be great if you could do a video on them. There is very little good information available.

Thanks again Peter. Lots of info. I've tried about 6 Fukien Tree Trees, LIDL occasionally sells them as 'Bonsai' but otherwise unnamed. The longest I've kept one is about a year, then a repot did it in. I don't think I'll try this variety again. Stay safe.

The moment you began about your Lovely Tropical Shirt, was the moment I knew I liked you. Thank you for your teachings!

I'm actually trying to start a bonsai garden in Hawaii for my parents. We only have a few. Great video! I need indoor bonsai trees because I'm scared that some bonsai trees cant handle the fact that Maui has only 1 season. Hot and humid. Btw the Carmona Fukien tea bonsai thrives pretty well here in Hawaii!

By far the best channel on KZfaq to vist if you want to learn about Bonsai.

Thank you for all these informations!

Enjoyed very much your talk and explanations of different types of bonsais and which types would be good to start for beginniers.

Thank you for so much for that presentation so interesting and informative ☺☺

Hello Mr Chan. You are one of those few people in the internet world who doesn't care that I should not teach them this or that. Because you have achieved so much in life and you don't care about the secrets. You want to now share the knowledge to all of us. You are a purist as you mentioned.., I hope God gives you years and years of healthy life and lots of videos for people like us. I love the interest at your age. Something about old people, even my Gramps had the same energy like you. Please leave us with lots of videos. God bless you Mr Chan. From your Indian fan from India.

Great video! In my collection I have a 5 year old Carmona retusa and I had a very hard time pruning it. All branches have 90° angles and you hardly get ramification with directional pruning. I hope some day I will have a decent tree.
