I have a moisture meter that I stick in the soil so I know exactly when to water because for me that is the hardest part of keeping the tree healthy.

I decided a month or so that development and health is one of the more important factors of a good tree and moved all my trees into larger pots.

I have found it difficult to find an authoritative source of information on specific tree species, such as ph needs, known care regimens. There is so much general information out there, but not much that gets into the science of each tree. Anyone have any suggestions?

Subbed. What do you use to edit your videos? Just started a KZfaq channel. Looks like you have a great camera set up as well. What do you use?

@BonsaiEn 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, Welcome to the world of Bonsai KZfaq. Im sure you'll find out its so much harder to do Bonsai on Camera as you have to do everything on a funny angle so the viewers can see which is an acquired skill. I personally use Premiere Pro to edit videos, my business Bonsai-En has and uses the whole Adobe Creative Suite so its natural that we would use premiere pro. For cameras i mainly use Canon m50's ( yes we have more then 1 haha ) but we also have a nikon D7200 on hand plus a whole bunch of different lens, gimbals, Nd filters, monitors, switchers, lights etc etc. i hope this helps a little.

What about Juniper ? Does it need a lot of water even if the drainage is good? Also can I place it in direct sun all day? I have put it in a shaded area in my garden but that part of my garden never get full sun Pls guide me Thanks

@mikeholland6750 4 жыл бұрын

can you put it outside in the winter when theyre still young? is there a certain age before putting them outside in winter

@BonsaiEn 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Mike, you can put them out young. As stated in the video though the best thing to do is research the particular species you have and see what they can handle as each plant is unique and can handle different tempretures.

Bonsai and carnivorous plants both lead to "Add to Cart" syndrome. I'd say get 1 - 3 different trees to start with, work with them for 2 - 4 years and if you did well and want more, that's the time to add.

@cliffordgoodrich3773 4 жыл бұрын

Another of your highly informative videos. However, how many trees are too many? It's an interesting question. It may be better to have a number of trees rather than just one or two. If you have several trees, you tend to be more responsible about caring for them since you have so many. With only one or two, you may get lazy since you don't have to dedicate much time to care for them.

I've found the more I have the less time I have to can scan for problems. For me also it can take away the minimalist feeling, swamping the observer robs the trees of individuality.

Today it rained on and off for about half the day on my juniper. That wouldn't be overwatering? Or should I put it under shelter on rainy days

@BonsaiEn 4 жыл бұрын

If your soil mix is well draining it shouldn't be a problem, when you water, the water should run out the bottom of the pot like a tap when it's thoroughly watered. If your concerned it's not drying out enough you can put it under cover for a while. It's been raining here for 2 weeks straight and all our trees stay out. It's hard to move a whole nursery though haha.

Wow! That is certainly a full time job. I have only one tree and am learning as I go, it's been enjoyable, so far. My biggest mistake, yet, is the wiring: I wired my Elm without wrapping it, but I also did do it towards the end of summer, so the growth isn't as vigorous.My next tree I will certainly take a different approach.

@Blaydrnnnr 3 жыл бұрын

Even buying young pre-Bonsai from some of the more reputable Bonsai nurseries here in the states, ( yes, the so called experts here on You Tube ) they will ship your tree to you in a bonsai pot. Never understood this. Maybe to justify the ridiculously high cost for such a young, undeveloped, untrained tree??? This year, I bought a very small Hinoki, maybe 3.5" tall, and it was put into a glazed 4" pot. Over the winter, I will have to re-pot into a nursery pot so that maybe in a few years, I will have a something to work with.

I just dig local, make cuttings or buy 10-20 shrub stock. I’ve also bought a Fukien and a gensing ficus mallsai for probably 15-20 at Lowe’s.

You know I agree totally. But I break every rule I can. I have over 100 trees in development, I can stay with it well. I have a verity, it’s fun and adventurous. I take trees from nature all the time anytime of year. I have a 90% success rate. I’m always experimenting and it’s fun. But then I’m not your average guy.

What's the difference between mame and "stick in a pot"

@BonsaiEn 4 жыл бұрын

A tree used for mame even though small has still had some development before being put in a mame pot. A stick in a pot is when a retailer takes a cutting from a trees branch and puts it straight In a Bonsai Pot and sells it as Bonsai. I have seen cuttings in bonsai pots sold as 5yr old plants.

@JohnThomas-gb5zg 4 жыл бұрын

@@BonsaiEn LOL thanks. So to summarize a stick in a pot is what you're left with after buying a big retailer psuedo bonsai after about three weeks.
