Thanks for these helpful tips on growing bonsai. I follow a number of the popular bonsai KZbinrs. You are quickly moving up the list of my favorites.

That is a really good point about burying the younger trees deeper for better root development - something I often forget! Another well thought out and presented video Jelle :)

This is probably the most comprehensive video on root maintenance for different situations & stages of tree growth I have watched to date. Big thanks.

Great variety of repotting tips and tricks! It's true, everyone does it differently... Some leave the old soil, some remove it, some wash the roots bare...

I appreciate you using a plant size that is accessible to almost everyone, at least online. 😊

Good point. I think the 4 trees I worked on combined have cost me less than 100 euro's. This hobby does not have to be overly expensive.

I am into bonsai for over 40 years now. As there was not that many info to find. So I had to experiment and now knowing what I know now, my trees would have been prize winner. Now they are just beautiful with each a particular “character” that could have been avoided knowing all when I started. Jelle is exactly telling you things and doing it in a way that I now know works perfect. He even uses the little heap in the pot and slowly twisting a bit while pushing it in the soil is exactly the same as I do. Now I see that is indeed a good trick. All you’re starters. Suck this knowledge in, you will have prize winners years from now. And a little tip, always think practical there is no right way to do things. If it works and the tree stays healthy you doing it perfect.

Jelle, your tip about drilling a horizontal hole for the wire is great, and nice to see your thoughtful touch with your friend's tree pot choice. I can't believe that in the first few days of March, I was able to repot outside today and not even have to wear a jacket. We usually have several feet of snow on the ground.

Hi Jelle, I love the the first tree you did the Lilac it is a very good natural style. I like your idea of making a hole under the roots on this one to hide the wire but still do its job of holding the tree in place. Great video for the beginners showing how to repot individual trees and working on the roofs. I have a lot of repotting my trees to do over the next couple of weeks.

Thank you for this well-described repotting video Jelle! I never appreciated how differently one handles refined bonsais compared to those in development. Very glad I saw this at the start of my repotting season. How to you handle the aggressive roots of field grown trees when you start on the refinement path?

🤔 OK, so my seedlings could be potted a bit deeper. Well, I have got a lot of spgahnum moss around the roots, so I will keep it as it is for now. During the summer I will be checking it and the next year I will repot it better. Thank you.

Thank you for such a thorough demonstration of various approaches. I love your 3 wire tie down approach and used it on severalmaples I repotted last year until the roots stabilized in the pot. I have to get going on repotting. Its been really cold but the buds are "green lining" so I best get hustling. Glad to have watched this first. Thanks.

Very nice video Jelle. But what is the lilac, I mean what variety is it? is it S. 'Palibin' perhaps.I have to wait a few weeks still before I can repot, have still snow and ice on the ground, but all I need for repotting has been bought.

I live in an apartment and fortunately have a huge patio which allows me too many trees. Unfortunately some of them are budding out but not sure if it will be safe to repot as I don’t have a greenhouse to protect them.

I have read that Little princess naturally grows out sideways and has a weak crown and so it is recommended not to hard prune the apex. Do you have any experience of this? I have what I hope is going to be a quite nice Little princess with good radial roots but I am a bit scared to reduce it in height. Any advice?
@tanarehbein77685 ай бұрын
I have heard you mention that your trees spend the winter outside in the garden. What is your growing zone? I am always afraid my bonsai have been made too fragile to survive our very cold, very long winters. What is the deciding factor risking it?
