So incredible that customers trust you so much that they leave their ENTIRE collection for you to trim and repot. That warms our hearts so much ❤

This week Tuesday 19th March, I was lucky to have a 1-2-1 workshop with Peter. How good is that! Had a couple of my trees repotted, thank you Steve for your help. Also worked on a few different conifers. All in all a lovely day. Can't thank Peter enough for his hospitality, and generosity. Lots of beautiful trees to admire. Can't wait to make a return visit. A wonderful experience.

Nice to meet you again Johnny. We have known each other for over 30 years. I remember you when I used to give talks and demos at Southend Bonsai club when 125-130 people used to come to their meetings - those were the glory days of the clubs!!! Stay Blessed !

I have been a bonsai hobbyist for over 40 years and it never ceases to amaze me how much I learn from Peter's videos. Even though my back aches and I find it an increasingly difficult task to care for my trees I am so excited spring is here. I just hope my wife doesn't complain about all the groaning I will be doing as I begin returning the trees to their outdoor thrones. Thanks to Peter for his great advice.

Former botany student here. The term "conifer" doesn't mean "cone shaped". It means "cone BEARING" as in, it produces cones instead of fruit to reproduce. Also, liverworts are very cool. They are a non-vascular plant, (not a moss) that uses spores to reproduce instead of seeds. They thrive in wet environments, so bonzais with liverworts on the soil surface might be growing in soil that doesn't drain quickly enough, or they might be overwatered.

Good example of a capillary water table that exists within pots and the importance of not just relying on checking just the surface moisture!

PS: after Many attempts and a very welcome success I finally air-layered a silver maple with a nicely spiraling trunk. I realized from your tutorials I wasn't using enough spagnum medium. I feel a bit more like an accomplished Bonsai Artist. My trees were started about 8 years ago and they are beginning to look like something now. Sacred Bamboo, Procumbens Nana, American and Chinese Elms, including a nice forest grouping, Three species of Ficus, one is root over rock, one is 3 fused Benjaminas, and apples and callery pears started from seeds. Thanks very much for all you have taught me Peter. What a wonderful hobby. 😊

@tylerjamesnewton1422 3 ай бұрын

As a newcomer (8 trees), I always hear that soil composition is important for refinement (akadama or calcined clay, pumice, lava, or an improvised mixture). That hornbeam was in almost pure gritty peat or compost. Is it better for developed trees to use that type of soil to reduce watering frequency? This is a conflict of all the information I’ve learned and collected so far. Thanks, Grunge

@jonawolf8023 3 ай бұрын

Substrate with a high organic content (humus, peat, leaf litter...) can store moisture and nutrients well, which is important if you live in a dry climate or you cannot water several times a day. The disadvantage is that you have little control over the nutrients available and these materials decompose, which means in a long-term lack of air in the soil, which can lead to root diseases or the death of the tree. Mineral substrate (gravel, akadama...) cannot store moisture and nutrients, which means you have to water and fertilize frequently, but you have very good control over the growing conditions. At the same time, these substances do not decompose, so there is always enough air in the soil to promote optimal root growth. In summary: both have their advantages and disadvantages, you can balance them out a bit by mixing them.

The roots that come into contact with the air die and the soil is washed away with every watering.

I cannot understand why anyone has trees and does not look after them, there is no reason why they cannot do it themselves. No one will learn to do the work if they don't try.

@dildobaggins8987 3 ай бұрын

As Peter Said, when some people get a bit older it becomes a lot of physical work to do in a single small time frame. Not to mention that it gives Peter an income and keeps the bonsai economy going. …..maybe just come to terms with the fact that everybody has different levels of commitment they can give to a hobby 🤷🏼‍♂️

@peterchan3100 3 ай бұрын

This gentleman is getting on in years and is not able to do it now but he still loves his trees. So please understand where some people are coming from. We all get old one day if we are so lucky.

@jameslangschied7900 3 ай бұрын

I disagree, at least regarding these trees. Most of these trees are over 20 years old. Firstly, they are alive, they appear healthy, and they show the appearance of past pruning. Sure, Peter can show improvements and offer suggestions regarding styling, but the trees are in acceptable shape for an older hobbyist or nonprofessional. I am over 70 years old and I can tell you that my trees suffer a bit because of a chronic back ache and general weakness in the limbs. Some of my trees ( one is 65 years old) are so heavy I can barely lift them. I say kudos to the owner.

There is nothing wrong with having a master come and touch up and correct your work. The customer may not be confident enough to make radical but needed changes but can clearly maintain the plants.
