My friend gifted me a ficus, I’ve always wanted a bonsai but have never been interested enough to actually do it. I am so excited for my lil tree.

In welke plaats bevinden jullie zich met dat park? Ik heb nu trouwens net mijn ficus binnengekregen maar er zitten heel weinig takken aan. Heb je tips om er zelf meer takken aan te laten groeien? Goeie video trouwens👌🏼

hey bonsai empirr i have an urgent question if i thoroughly water my juniper and it starts heavily raining shortly after should i protect it from the rain or should i let it get more water but there would be a chance on waterlogging no?

@bonsaiempire Жыл бұрын

You need to use good bonsai substrate (read our website, or check our video here on youtube) - with good substrate there is no issue at all.

@katharinaverhagen4002 2 ай бұрын

Why do you wire two branches at the same time? :) So the branch looks thicker/for ethetic reasons?

@bonsaiempire 2 ай бұрын

Why we wire, or why we wire two branches with one wire? The latter: it stabilizes the wire if you connect two branches with it (so it doesn't wiggle) and it looks better (you'll need less wire on your tree).

I just have one question, is it ok to repot a indoor bonsai anytime? You would think because it's kept inside where the climate never really changes it would be ok, right?

@bonsaiempire Жыл бұрын

You can indeed repot year round - though light intensity will (in most places) differ through the seasons. I personally stick to repotting in spring because I do see my indoors grow faster then.

It looks like tree from shop. Ahhh what a pithy pot is not so good and give that cheap look to the tree. And if you take that akadama off and put some bark tree could be much happier and soil could stand in good shape for longer.
