How to make a Bonsai tree

[@everfreebrumby8385]

I’m brand new to Bonsai. & watching this video is like watching true magic.

[@CharlieApples]

A rule of thumb about choosing a bonsai pot: once the tree is its final size, the pot should only be as deep as the thickest part of the trunk is wide. It’s traditional for growers to make the pot themselves out of clay, or select a pot with special meaning to it if they’re not good at making pottery. People are often surprised by how shallow final bonsai pots are, in comparison to normal plant pots. Some small bonsai have pots that are only an inch or a few centimeters deep or so.

[@quyentrieu338]

😮😢

[@DeadBeatLoser69]

No plant has a "final size", they will continue to grow forever as long as they are maintained correctly.

[@Lethalogica]

the entire point of a bonsai is to stunt their growth...@@DeadBeatLoser69

[@DeadBeatLoser69]

@h...........................The trunk will thicken much more and much faster if a bonsai is kept in a deeper pot. However, this may ruin the shape as it will allow much more room for the tree to grow, therefore allow more foliage to grow. Possibly ruining the shape.

[@catsarecute47]

​@@DeadBeatLoser69is it because of the root growth orrr

[@brianpeck4035]

I kept an eye out for out of the way nursery plants that had been ignored, spending more time in a small pot causing shorter growth and a bigger trunk. I found a Red Stopper that was an absolute natural. I didn't wire and only did a little pruning and root reveal. After potting and moss it looked right out of a fairy tale. The plant continued to look healthy and happy till I moved. My earlier experience with a Jade plant falling apart showed that a hearty species would save me much..heart ache. Nice video!

[@bonsaiempire]

Glad you enjoyed the video Brian!

[@habitualresistor9548]

Jade plants (crassula or "hens & chicks" folk name) are actually very hardy plants. They are susceptible to weird disease and water logging, humidity, stuff like that though. I had a 30 year Jade bonsai, but a truly evil, crazy, psychotic ex-girlfriend happened to it. She poured bleach in it. Who does that? Oh yeah, a truly evil woman.

I got a bonsai kit a couple years ago and it was a surprising and interesting gift to receive... Especially considering my living circumstances at the time. But this week, I finally planted 2/4 varieties that it came with. I'm excited to begin this journey and glad I found a resource like you guys! I'll be checking back soon to buy tools and maybe enroll in the course. 🙏🏽✨

Year and maybe u will have something reasoble in 50 years .. read learn which kind might be suitable for you and buy a middle grown bonsai and you will full enjoy your hobby .. most of people does not understand that starting from seed and according the variety of plant and climate it might take 1 life to get some result

[@nawsh2252]

[@motherlandbot6837]

The spruce here is a Norway Spruce (Picea abies), known as a White Spruce or European Spruce in Europe, and is probably the cultivar 'Nidiformis' ('Nest formed'). As a bonsai subject, P. abies has the very desirable characteristic of rooting easily from cuttings, thus specimens free of graft scars are readily available at low cost.

[@whatever.1765]

How did I not even notice? I’m Norwegian so I think my first bonsai will be a Picea abies! Thank you for the information :)

[@motherlandbot6837]

Tropical bonsai are managed and styled very differently from the temperate trees and shrubs that are traditionally used for bonsai. It is not true that you can style, prune, and wire tropical trees and shrubs for bonsai year round, because even most tropical woody plants make seasonal root and top growth, or grow in distinct flushes. The few nearly continuous growers, such as Serissa, grow so quickly that they need regular pruning and styling year round. Despite this, they do not grow into full sized bonsai any faster than their temperate counterparts.

[@snowbelltheicewing66]

A lot of people here are saying "that's not a bonsai!" or "it's just a fancy bush" so first off, a bonsai is a tree trained into shape to be a miniature version of the adult tree, or in some cases like show here a miniature version of another species, this is the beginning of a bonsai, not a finished one. the trunk will become more thick over time and the canopy will start to take on more of an umbrella shape. (if that's what this person is going for)

[@bonsaiempire]

Well, bonsai can be a lot of things and we all have our preferences. On our channel here we have a lot of examples/styles/tree species so there's something for everyone ;-)

[@tastetherainbow9643]

Now I can’t stop watching Bonsai videos. I have bought 3 from this guy at The Florida State Fair - 1 every year and I took such good care but I have killed them all, argh. One turned yellow - yes yellow. I guess maybe I watered it to much. I had one that turned orange- I think I put to much food pellets in soil. The 3rd one made it about 7 months and it even grew for a while. I would take them out and let them get sunlight for about an hour or 2 every other day and would water it about every 2-3 days. Kept soil damp. I don’t have the heart to get another one. When they died I felt like I betrayed Mother Nature

[@maapaa2010]

Maybe buy your bonsai from a different seller. No offense to this channel but this video is widely inaccurate. It is not an acceptable practise to sheer roots of a tree to make it into a bonsai tree. It can cause disease for the tree. I recommend going to a bonsai specialist and purchasing one there, and speaking to the owner. Most specialists recommend you take the bonsai to them for pruning and checking the plants health once every 3-6 months. Good luck.

[@Kyle-gw6qp]

@@maapaa2010 How are you supposed to remove roots then?

[@aprylljay]

I think that's too much water and not enough sun

[@Ben7x26]

Some trees need cold weather during winter. The bonsai you see in the video will not be able to live in tropical climate.

[@BonsaiJCan]

A nice start, the tree's looking good. I also really like the pot, I'm wondering if your still going to do some root work on it at some point ?

[@bonsaiempire]

Yes we will, two years after this repotting it will be planted in a slightly shallower pot.
