Wow

[@dankevinliu1011]

Thanks for sharing sir.

[@romz2067]

Good day sir. I always follow your video and I love it. We have lots of bonsai at home however they are all banyan type tree. I want to have chinese juniper, actually I ordered juniper seed at aliexpress but sadly after they sprout some centimeter it keeps on dying, how should I grow them successfully ?

[@frankwilson7146]

great video. I hope to see a follow up for this tree. also, I love the guy in the backgrounds Bob Marley shirt!

[@BonsaiIligan]

Sure will give follow up video when work will be done again on this tree. I'll keep doing video every time the group meets for a bonsai work.

[@alvinmendoza5640]

In the rock po ba o on the rock?

[@patriciasholarfreund4964]

Very nicely done! You are fortunate to be a member of such a nice group of bonsai enthusiasts. Was any work done to the rock prior to planting with the juniper?

[@BonsaiIligan]

None except tieing in the concrete tray pot which was also shown in this video, we had to rework it many times though to balance it in the tray.

[@kennethcaron572]

I do not have a beautiful rock . i have a stump of fire wood rotten in the middle and craved into sphere with bonsai growing out of it.

[@BonsaiIligan]

that can be beautiful slso.

[@norbsdelprado]

they are using coral reef stones

[@rinyajamestasar1819]

after planting on rock how do you give food to ur bonsai

[@BonsaiIligan]

Liquid fertilizer by spraying on the roots and leaves. But I have experience that even if I don't fertilize them as long as I water them well they thrive.

[@siakengcorner5125]

Where are you buying rock, how many price?

[@BonsaiIligan]

hello. My dad use to get his supplies from other bonsai club members. But I don't know where they got them from

[@javinkamid6291]

sir im one of youre subscibers and i watch all youre video about making bonsai, and i have a request that hope you can make,.i saw a video about a bonsai of a coconut palm.,and i wonder if its possible..can you make some video of it if how it is done?.tnx..

[@BonsaiIligan]

I have done some coconut tree bonsai but it takes too much time to make them and you need to do a lot of root works Here is an old video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3_HnZKfYrt3qNk

[@BonsaiIligan]

And here is another crazy experiment where we planted coconut tree on rock. Though it is not progressing well it is still alive. I'll make video on updates of my coco works in the near future. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3zUpZyGjsp3fcU

[@BonsaiIligan]

my Methodi is to frequently cut the roots to keep them small here is a video:kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3_HnZKfYrt3qNk

[@jourdan1200]

hindi po ba matatangal ibang soil pag diniligan? baka mamatay pag na expose roots? and ano pong best plant for rock bonsai?

[@BonsaiIligan]

Yes, you have to be careful to water, use a spray nozzle or just a spray bottle. Sometimes I wrap the soil around with a piece of net, the one you use in shading your garden.

[@jourdan1200]

+Bonsai Iligan what is the best plant to use for that kind of setup here in philippines po?

[@BonsaiIligan]

Ficuses hangs well on roots but most ficuses have large leaves and somehow destroy the scale between tree and rock. In my opinion I would like to see the tree small in the rock so it will mimic a tree growing on a mountain side or cliff. So I use "Wild Lemons" as we call it here in our place. I hear in Luzon they just call it "Lemonsito". other specie I use are "Premna" or otherwise called "Alagao" in Luzon. or Abgao in Bisaya or Argao. Here is a video on a rock grown "Wild Lemon" also named "Limeberry. : kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpDXooqqoJWVeNk. and here is a "Premna" :kzbin.info/www/bejne/epvYZ6x7ftqWppY

Here is another :kzbin.info/www/bejne/nqCzaqljfLaqnZY.

[@jourdan1200]

+Bonsai Iligan im sorry for the late reply sir. i just got home from work. time for me to watch your videos

[@champelot]

They shouldve asked dudung for help. ✌️

[@BonsaiIligan]

Ahh no need, Dodong was there also helping out anyway by procuring the muck and cocopeat and mixing it.

[@champelot]

+Bonsai Iligan lol i was just kidding. Hope you get well soon, so you and dudung can make more videos 😊
