Call someone an idiot without calling them an idiot 😅

Wonderful message and comment ❤️❤️❤️

Your grandfather sounds like a wonderful man,God Bless!!

My grandfather taught me much, as well..he passed 20 years ago, but I still take his knowledge and expand on it. It truly connects us to the generations that came before us.

I wish i had this kind of relationship with my grandfather, never took care of me as a child.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ficus really are champions. I'm glad your tree made it :)

Thank God!!Im so happy to hear it survived,Best to you and you little buddy!!

Hey wanna give an update on your ficus? 🥺❤

Update on the ficus?

Your ficus must be fighting his life to see you again. Happy endings😆👍🏻

It's a surprisingly big community and most everyone is happy to share information with other's.

Very true

I agree 👍 bonsai and airplants hobby it's the food for my soul .

Jake Ryan Oliganga this isn’t a hobby, it’s a lifestyle

Do these rules apply to Junipers as well?

wurzelwaerk big Factz

Maybe the lady tought it was a plastic tree.

:( i had my bonsai in my college town and i went for spring break vacation and the lockdown came... I am trying to revive my ginsent ficus bonsaiii but i think its dead now..

@@nickzouk1163 Was it alive??

@@wooferjr169 sadly no...

🤣🤣😂😂

I was a garden centre manager for a number of years. I think you would be shocked how common this level of stupidity is.

I work in customer service. I don't have enough eye-rolls for this world. Customer: Do you have the [5qt Dalton] metal bowl? Me: Let me check. ... Sure! We have 5. Customer: Great! I'll get it. Is it microwave safe?

I think some people do not believe that bonsai plants are real plants!

Same with animals.... a new neighbor of mine has a tiny little dog, which is always being carried around either in a bag or in the hand. She takes him outside only sometimes, because her spouse (after my recommendation) wants her to stop putting the dog on his potty! She then sets him on one spot of grass and picks him up as soon as he is done, or as soon as somebody comes around. Now I have a Rottweiler and an Australian Cattle Dog (Red Heeler), which I usually walk one by one. As soon as this tiny little dog from my neighbor sees my really good socialized dogs, he starts barking at them in a very angry way. Meanwhile, even my two very calm and socialized dogs are aggravated as soon as they see this dog. Off course they would never harm him but they would probably discipline him in a more doggy manner. But I suppose, that this aggressive hand full of dog will be killed by one of the other dogs in town, as soon as one of them comes around when he is outside. I guess, people aren't acquainted with noticing the needs of other living beings. They seem extreme egomaniacs mostly.

Yea I thought he was just low-key being sarcastic, "look... Water water water. That's pretty much all." Except for a few minor things that are optional. Water and sunlight.

Yah, the root system is sitting in those small pots with such little soil and other water retaining matter, they just can't store any water. I dont think they'd last a day in temps in the upper 90'sF or higher ciz they'd dry out so fast. It might not look as true bonsai artistic and authentic, but I'd rather just have them trimmed up & then leave them in a regular planting pot so I didn't have to baby them with water so much. Except for tradition, I don't understand why they can't just make bonsai pots deeper to hold more soil & perlite for longer water retention. I'd think more people might get into bonsai, but for so many, they're just too high maintenance. I'm considering putting 1 or 2 in my greenhouse/aviery I'm putting together, but they're not going to be in those tiny shallow bonsai pots. This guy's amazing though and he's a master at bonsai with a wealth of knowledge so I really appreciate his efforts in these videos.

@@ActinOut they will grow to vigerous if they are in to big pots. the confinement is the essence of what bonsai is. the size of the tree decides the size of pot.

Enthusiast? This guy a master at his craft

LOLLLLL

Those who aren't educated enough to know to water potted plants should not have potted plants, especially bonsai trees that need even more care than your everyday potted plants. I too forget to water my potted indoor plants occasionally, but never for long enough to harm them. I've been known to water the potted plants of others when I spot them. I'm a plant lover and no plant should suffer needlessly.

@@NotSoCrazyNinja true, yet unfortunately, they are aloud to have children! (I don't have kids because I can barely look after plants! Lmao )

@@halkael2317 Yeah, all you need to get a little miniature human to care for is a little sexy time at the right time. No experience, no education, no skills necessary. This is why child protective services and similar services exist. I don't have kids simply because I have yet to find anyone who can put up with me. I am, a bit odd. Eccentric you might say. Any kid of mine would probably be just as much a handful as I was as a kid, and I wasn't an easy kid to raise lol.

Touche' Corona lmao... thats why I have tropicals and cacti... no plants that need daily attention. At least I know my limits. (I also dont have kids, might forget to water them too haha) I have NEVER killed a plant from lack of watering. So, no... its not “just as bad”

Touche' Corona lmao... dont get me wrong, the reason I dont have kids is NOT because I forgot to water them... but the number “could be” higher in my house... (just joking, of course!!)

That's basically a giant size version of the wicking device, yeah!

so you leave the plants inside out of the sun?

"Adhesive quality" ≈ surface tension - Enable plants to "draw" water to great heights... - "how* plants" move roads or break concrete slabs.... - "reason" largest of ships float...

@@ivy_47 yeah the same...

Not a bad idea, but I have 175 plants, I don’t think I have a big enough sink 🥺

I often feel that long videos can become boring - like the lectures we used to have in college!

Well said,I was sad it ended as well!!!

Did so immediately after saying he wasn't going to explain it. Bless him

heygeno1951 it drives me crazy when I get customers who have clearly neglected their plant come back wanting their money back because it is somehow my fault that the didn’t water their plant

It’s good for business. Ok you know how to water, buy another try again. Oh this time you forgot to feed. Buy another. I need to get in the bonsai business

wonder if the same people buy a pet dog and never feed it.

More like insane!

For real some of these trees have been carefully shaped and cared for for YEARS and in a few weeks some customer just waltzes in and kills it

john boettjer way to go John!!

I can relate. I see all trees differently now- I notice their shape, whether the trunk is bent, leaf details, symmetry, textures. I'm brand new to this amazing hobby; what a great teacher to have!

My man out here keepin it real

It’s been a year - how are you doing? Did you get your yamadori?

Mitha Mitha , I know. As soon as I saw that, I knew my next click is looking for a red maple bonsai plant to buy.

Sadly...It died. Well I will try again. It was my first attempt and I am excited to try to start a bonsai again after my vacation.

@Albert Jackson I watered it weekly but I think the roots got too dry and I think I over trimmed it. Poor little thing.

@@quicksilvertears921 "I watered it weekly but I think the roots got too dry and I think I over trimmed it. Poor little thing." Pretty much the common beginner mistakes. 1. Never water, or work on a tree, on a schedule... except the tree's schedule, which is hard to determine. You don't drink water because it is 3pm, but because you are thirsty, don't you? It is the same for a tree. But don't let it get too thirsty. The balance is hard to find. Your watch or your calendar doesn't give you the answer, only observation will. Check the soil and the tree at least in the morning and in the evening if your job schedule doesn't allow for more. 2. There are tricks to know when a tree needs water. First you have electronic devices that can measure moisture in the soil. Very handy when you start with horticulture. Unfortunately they don't work well with free draining soils, but they work quite well with compost. Then you have wooden chopsticks. Plant it in the ground, wait a couple of minutes, see if the wood gets moist: likely enough water, if it stays dry: very likely in need of water. You can also stick a finger in the soil. The dorsal side of your fingers is very sensitive to moisture and temperature. Once you get more used to your bonsai placing the dorsal side of your fingers on the soil is sufficient to get an idea if the soil is damp, moist, or dry. Moist soil is a bit like air-conditioned: very pleasant. Damp usually feels too cold or too hot, depending on the direct sun shine on the pot. Dry feels... well, dry. There is also the color of the soil that can give you a hint. If you need, fill a small container with some soil, wet it, see what color it turns, let it dry out, notice its dry color. Finally, for pots you can easily lift alone you have the weight feeling. Damp soil weighs more than moist soil, which weighs more than dry soil. Once you get used to the "right" weight, lifting the pot gives you a hint. No need for a scale, your hands are sensitive enough. 3. Hide your shears, cutters, secateurs, saws, etc during the first year. Keeping the blades away from your bonsai in the months following its purchase is among the healthiest things you can do for your tree. I know it is tempting to try out all these cool techniques, and use those expensive tools... But no, learn how to appreciate the use of a cheap watering can and even cheaper chopsticks. It is amazing how quickly watering goes from boring to exciting once you see new shoots popping out. Then you can start with a bit of chemistry and add some fertilizer, see how the tree reacts, and so on. After some months your tree will explode in health and you can start with some careful pruning. 4. Visit a garden center, buy some cheap garden plants and keep them in their pots. Experience on them, not on your expensive little tree. Maybe you will kill your garden plants, but it is not the end of the world if you learn something from your mistakes. If you are lucky you end up with a beautiful bonsai you have built by yourself, priceless... and still have learned lessons for your purchased bonsai. Good luck with your next tree.

Thanks so much! Luckily I did not buy an expensive bonsai tree to start. I know my skills are lacking so it was just a tiny garden evergreen. Less than $10.00. I will try again and follow your advice. I can see where I made many mistakes as a beginner. Learning is fun though.

@@quicksilvertears921 You are welcome. If it can save you a bunch of seasons... I believe I made pretty much every beginner mistake, except giving up 😉. Learning is fun, you are so right, and such a pleasure with teachers like Peter. Good luck with your next trees.

Because some one remembered to water and feed them...

I can 100% say some times IT IS the plant nursery fault I bought this gorgeous Hoya once (I have another one now same species that's been with me for 5+ years) and she died on me the first 2 weeks of having her like COMPLETELY died. It began just a day or so after I got her home and she just began dying (my guess according to what she told me at the nursery for care from overwatering) it will FOREVER piss me off that I was sold a plant very clearly doomed to die cause she just kept dying not matter what I tried, I have the exact same plant species now and have NEVER had a problem with the exact same care because I have SEVERAL Hoyas under my care and have pretty much never had one die on me like this before EVER, even some people consider complicated to keep. So yeah plant nurseries some times don't know shit not always but some times.

It's more than just a plant if you think about it. It's a breathing, eating, drinking and sunbathing tree. I call it the BEDS method. Think of how trees live getting sun daily and just soaking up rain. Newer trees when planted tend to get fresh fertilizer to grow if you ever see during the spring time on contact workers bring fresh fertilizer to sights to help growth. Soon enough depending on the age it won't need as much up keep. Bonsai trees need steady routine up keep for about 10 years. You've got this!

How often to water juniper ?? It is ok to stay dry, but afraid overwatering. But what would the ideal?

doing the lords work

The hero we needed when shopping for food.

Fertilizer is not food. Bonsai trees use fertilizer as supplemental nutrition so that their *photosynthesis will create sugars and carbs* to feed themselves and grow.

I hope you and your dad have have foung mutual enjoyment in Bonsai. I hope at least one of my offspring will show an interest. I keep baiting them, but so far no one has shown an interest in my "funny bushes".

I know it is three years later, but it never cease to suprise me what people don't know or maybe, rather, what they claim have not know. They had to have seen the tree/plant was "sick", why wait until it is kindling. "Well I was on vacation / holiday,, for two months. "

Nice choices.

Still got your bonsai Banana?

Ernest Bigot thats funny real funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Does it get the window seat? ✈

Ha!!You go brother!!!

Not much choice since it needs to be watered twice a day apparently!

@@FelixWatts It depends. The bonsai loves moist soil, so if the soil is moist dont water it. If its dry water it! Bonsai are watch and react plants

Thank you for your encouragement

Make sure they don't get burnt remember bonsi is a miniature tree it's ment to be in full light were as other plants grow in partial light even under some trees

😂

🤣😂🤣😂

This really made me laugh

Me asf ^ Hey at least we're quick learners lol

That was priceless! This man is such a joy

An austin powers moment!

That is what I thought we could have learned today . Possibly a clock timer operated system.
