Nigel’s channel is more addictive than sugar.

Who else say hey Nigel after he says he everyone ... thanks for the updates.

Hi Nigel. I have large Yucca trees in the garden and leave the old dead downward leaves on. I have found that birds enjoy nesting in the canopy because its then safe from cats. They can't climb up past the hard pointy leaves. Thanks for your videos. Fano. Stellenbosch, Cape Town

At 23:32 the grow light looks like the health bar of the tree in a video game. Good job, Nigel. Full health 😄😄

Hi Nigel, I have been enjoying your updates, thank you! FYI- as Paul mentioned below citrus trees enjoy a cool / chilly period. I lived in Florida for 17 years and had two orange trees and they never had any issues with cold weather. The coldest I experienced with them was 18 f. If we had a freeze when they had fruit on them we would keep the sprinklers on all night to coat the fruit in ice. The cool weather helps with flowering and fruiting and in the case of oranges made them much sweeter then in the years we didn’t have a chill during winter. Congrats on the flower bud!

Nigel beautiful bonsai video by Josef 👍💚💚✨

Always enjoy looking at your creations! They inspire me to try new things. I also pruned my dracena like you. Thanks to you. God Bless 🙏🏻❤️✌🏼

When you talked about the surprise on your lemon that you had upstairs sooner than the rest, I was not surprised. Most people think citrus fruits are tropical when in fact that are sub trupical. They really don't do that well in fully tropical climates even in Ca Fl and Texas where a lot of these trees are grown for fruit there is a cold season and occasionally even frost.

Awesome video! Trying some money trees and this update was exactly what I was looking for.

You inspired me to pick up my own schefflera last month, they are a nice looking plant. Thankfully I live in central Florida so I don't have to worry too much about the cold. It only gets to freezing a few nights every year.

Mind-blowing bonsai..

Yes, mine also flower in the dead of winter. Try hand pollinating it with a cotton swab. Might work in getting a lemon. The smell is good also from the flowers.

As a Florida boy, I’ve been loving these Tropical bonsai videos. Plant Room seems to be rockin and rollin! Always great to have plants to work on year-round.

Great video Nigel!

Happy News indeed for the Lemon Tree and entire Bonsai Family!

Normally in Chroatia in January rioen mandarines ,liemons and so on. So that Is not strange to flower.

I live in Japan and houses are not insulated. It snows where I live, so the inside gets into the low 40s. My scheffleras do fine throughout the winter next to a south facing window that doesn't get good light. As an experiment I left a cutting out this winter, it's not doing so well, but it's not dead. I see out door scheffleras all the time around where I live that have survived years and seem to be doing fine.

Nigel inspired me to start my own schefflera bonsai 4 years ago.

Great update on all your tropical trees

Man, that Schefflera looks great with the small leaves!

The dracaena looks awesome with the dead foliage!

I water indoor plants for a living, and I wish I could leave all the dead leaves on my Dracaena! I'd probably have a tough time convincing the clients, lol

I've got cactus and succulent bonsai that live in my basement at temperature around 50 degrees under grow lights from mid November to early April.

If you want some sun Nigel you can take some of Brazil's. Here have waaaaay to much of it. It would help me a lot if we had some colder temperatures because my maple cuttings do not root

Cheers for new black background 👌

You have some very cool trees!

Choice Boug! Cool

Love this wish my schflara looked like this

i've read a few accounts of citrus trees blooming after experiencing some sort of cold stress. maybe moving your lemon tree into the cool basement and then into the plant room triggered it? i love citrus blossoms :)

So sad to see the Jade dying off - i have had to change all that soil - it really caused me some issues. everything else looking really good Nigel!!

👏

I'm always looking for trees that can take 4-5 C. (forties in the U.S.) because I have a solar greenhouse that hovers in that range on the coldest nights in Colorado. Very interesting to see how your tropicals are responding to the basement conditions.

If that ever happens again with another jade, you can just cut it free from the roots and replant it and it will root and live more reliably than if you try to rehab half dead roots.

Fun to see how fast these trees grow away after pruning. I kind of thought that the semi-dormancy brought on by the cool, basement treatment would curtail their summer vigor and make them slow to respond. Your theory that once they were brought into the warmth and higher light of the plant room proved to be true. ~ Leaving the dead leaves on the Dracena is an interesting decision. It means taking the ‘natural look’ to a whole new level. When I used to do interiorscaping, I often thought that a few yellow or brown leaves made a planting more natural and added an additional visual dimension to a planting. Of course not cleaning up an account’s plants ‘properly’ was unacceptable to my boss and the client. I really like the idea of you shocking fellow hobbyists by showing your ‘cousin it ‘ Dracena. I do wonder what, if any maintenance problems may be caused by all that clustered foliage. Best keep an extra eye out for bugs. ~ take care, John

Snow coming three Canada to me on Friday so today and tomorrow for you heads up

How are your draceanas doing? I would really appreciate an update on them, especially on the one you cut twice. 😀

Thank you for your updates! I’m planning on starting to grow a dragon’s blood tree myself (hopefully this or the next year) and your updates on your dragon tree are very helpful! I hope it’s growing healthy and beautiful :) Oh, and also, how old is your dragon tree?

In your previous videos I always thought something isnt right with that jade

I follow your advice religiously, Nigel. I follow many of your tree threads and copy them. One question: I notice you follow the growth pattern of many trees. Why split your ginseng roots with carving?

Nice update, Nigel. How is Julian's bougainvillea doing?

Idk what kind of grow lights you use. But mars hydro makes new nice lights. Or hlg if u want to spend a few more bucks for extra quality

What kind of led lights do you use?

What's the tree in silhouette that we can see through the vapour barrier? Looks huge whatevwr it is!

Great info!. Im in nyc and my ficus is in a shed outside. We prob got down to 20 degrees f and all the leaves turned black and starting to fall off. Im only hoping because of the size its pretty big that it rebounds in the spring im not sure it ever been through cold like this. As for succulents i got one in the mail and it started losing all its leaves. I have to do that test on it u did but i slip potted it and hopefully it rebounds too. I do have a question though to anyone that can help can i use a rooting hormone on a tree that is already established because i have an elm id like to get more roots to grow and if so what kind of rooting hormone should i buy?

I'm always too scared to go too far below 60 degrees F

Could I suggest you buy a reptile heater pad put a floor tile on top and put the boabab on it

Hi Nigel I’m relatively new to bonsai and have some questions, mainly about winter care for light, were I live(Michigan) winter are rather cloudy, so I stuck my lemon cypress under some grow lights and my Ming aralia under there for a while and I brought it next to a window instead, and eventually hope to turn my room into a grow room for my trees and wondering were you get your lights and how expensive they are

Hi Nigel, regarding the dragon tree's leaves: You pick all yellow leaves and other debris from all your other trees, although those trees would sport those dead leaves etc. in nature, too. Why is it, that you favor those dead leaves on your dragon tree nonetheless?

Hello, You were working on a guava tree, later what happened to it Nigel sir?

Hi Nigel you keep saying spring late spring and summer what months are those John UK

Hi all

Would root hormone help the jade cuttings?

Foist!
