Learning from your videos (thank you) as well as purchasing from your online store. JBP❤ !!! Your thinking out loud while creating your designs is spot on ; if you ever make it to the EastCoast we’d enjoy meeting you! Thank you again for your inspiration

[@anandrsg]

Great outcome. I was kind of disagreed for a while when you took off the major chunk on top and quickly then saw the S shape coming out strong and more visible to make it even better...Can't wait to see it potted up...Thanks for the video.

[@GertsBonsaiLog]

Thank you for sharing your process on this. Top notch!

[@matshagstrom9839]

Thank you! 👍!

Great video and helpful with the angle change. Is the wrap you use just normal cling wrap?

[@Bonsaify]

It is pallet wrap - which is normal cling wrap basically. We buy it from Uhaul, primarily for wrapping containers in advance of shipping them to customers, but it's handy stuff to have around for sure!

Great video Eric. Thanks. Who made your little rotating table. Where did you purchase it?

[@Bonsaify]

I bought mine via bonsaitonight.com. However it appears Jonas doesn't have them at the moment. They are on Amazon I believe: www.amazon.com/Pollice-Verde-Professional-Turntable-Green-T/dp/B07TKCG4V3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Pollice+Verde&qid=1632790083&sr=8-3

Very interesting.

[@ccpelaez12]

Where could I get those well draining baskets that you use?

[@Bonsaify]

We just listed them on bonsaify.com - www.bonsaify.com/collections/bonsai-tools/products/pond-baskets-by-finofil

[@felix-xo8oi]

was it ever repotted?

[@Bonsaify]

Yes! And doing well. Will likely be for sale at our table at the Pacific Bonsai Expo.

[@dewaynefanchier589]

What a beautiful accident with the trunk!! Where did you get your growing pot, & are you just using regular potting soil? I'm new to bonsai, so I wish to learn as much as I can from anyone I can! ;-)

[@Bonsaify]

The growing container is a Finofil 6" circular pond basket. We use them for trees because they have good durability and provide air pruning for the roots. Junipers don't necessarily benefit from colanders, but I was giving it a try. The soil is a mix of standard 1:1:1 Akadama:Lava:Pumice, and my seed starting mix of 80%perlite/20% coco coir. These were potted up mid-season last year without root work, so that's why there are two different soils in there.

@@Bonsaify Thank you!

[@Krakenite]

So how do you get the roots to cooperate, since right now they’re growing “to the left” of the tree instead of down?

[@Bonsaify]

Oddly enough, the repot was not too hard. This is a small tree, so roots are still flexible. That said, I had to be pretty aggressive and so the tree grew quite slow afterward for a few months. But happy to report I sold it to a friend and it is doing quite well!

[@Krakenite]

@@Bonsaify ahhh, so you just bent/moved the roots around 90 degrees so it would fit that way? That makes sense. Thanks for the reply!

[@cb6778]

Thanks

[@edwardhudson7790]

Wher are you getting those pots?

[@Bonsaify]

Search for "finofil" on Ebay. www.ebay.com/itm/173853286215

Is there an updated video of this? Can anyone link it? 2023

[@Bonsaify]

Hi - we never did another video on this. But I might. I sold it to a client, but I'm babysitting it right now. Were you interested in any particular aspect of what was shown in this video?

[@stephencreswell229]

What brand turntable is that?

[@Bonsaify]

Green-T, mini with a clamp: www.amazon.com/Pollice-Verde-Professional-Turntable-Green-T/dp/B07TKCG4V3/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=Pollice+Verde&qid=1632790083&sr=8-3
