Will do

Thank you very much! Have a great night!

I wish everything was successful! Thank you so much Roberto! Have a great Sunday!

@@ArkefthosBonsai Thanks,same to you my friend!

I appreciate it! Have a great night!

Thank you Fabian! Two or more-for-one perhaps! Cheers!

@@ArkefthosBonsai 🙇‍♂️

Ha ha that's a nice motivation to get ripped! Yeah I wanted to try a flat top about the same time as you, but unfortunately I don't have the first hand experience with this canopy habit and I don't think I can do it justice. 5a... That would definitely need protection through winter. I currently have left the air layer outside, unprotected, surrounded by other pots, but I'm at 8a so well see. Thank you Ryan!

@@ArkefthosBonsai 😂 I saw that typo, not sure how roots became ripped. I've always marveled at the flat top specimens, I hope I can do it justice. Thanks for the great content, looking forward to more!

Thank you! There is always room to grow (pan intended)! Have a nice day!

Thank you!

I'm flattered Nerina! That you!

Thank you Chris! Have a nice Sunday!

Thank you! The taxodium has a mix with the higher organic content than any other species here. It's about 30% organic aggricates from forest topsoil I collect. 30% perlite, 30% zeolite. I do not submerge it in water, I just water it more than others. Plus, some shade in the hot summer months, to protect the bark. Cheers!

Thank you Daniel!

Not one season. Less than 3 months! It's crazy! Thank you!

WOW!!! It is ! 10 out of 10. Must be the result of the greek heatwaves. My latest video is showing some of last year`s air layers. It would be a great honor you visiting my crappy channel.

Thank you! The first one is Taxodium distichum, a bald cypress from the United States. If you use subtitles on the video, you will see I explain everything!

Thank you Weasley! I'm not aware of any mountain called Arkefthos in Greece. Arkefthos is the ancient Greek word for juniper, so that's where this name comes from. I live in the Peloponnese peninsula, in Southern Greece, up in the mountains. Have a nice day!

@@ArkefthosBonsai Ah! I had a google fail, its a hotel near Astraka Mountain😂 "Located in the scenic Papingo Village, the stone-built Arkefthos is a boutique hotel features a classically decorated snack bar with fireplace and jukebox. It offers free Wi-Fi in all areas and rooms with views over Astraka Mountain" you are truly blessed to live in such a beautiful place.

Well, while astrakas mountain is a beautiful mountain, it is very far away from me as it it quite north, close to the border with Albania. I'm south, closer to Africa! Cheers!

Thank you Xavier! Some genus rely on seed propagation, so their hormonal balance leans towards foliar growth rather than rooting. It actually has nothing to do with your skills, or mine, or anyone's. Definitely next time, try to find a stronger (more expensive) rooting hormone and lots of patience!

I should be able to find the hormone - it's the patience that is hard to come by :)@@ArkefthosBonsai

@expressionsofgracebonsai you've got this!

Ha ha ha, I'm fine with that. For now, I can handle more than I have. Thank you!

Thank you Christian! I use zeolite and perlite with a small percentage of organic aggricates, topsoil from the forest. I use pure pumice on trees I dig from the ground. Cheers!

I explain everything in captions - subtitles and I've shown everything in 2 previous videos about this tree. This was airlayered in late spring of 2022. It took 2 seasons to root as first summer did not produced any roots. This summer it had some poking through the moss. 3 months later they are as you see. Cheers!
