Sorry for the repost, youtube doesn't allow replacement of files and a few edits needed to be made. Expect new tropical content soon, full of valuable info that will help you on your bonsai journey!

Repetition is the best way to learn something.

[@watsup6084]

Why the re-upload?

[@nancyfahey7518]

My willow leaf and the too little or curly Benjamin were my first trees. They are 19 years old. Looking real gnarly too. 😊

[@sebastiendemeyer2434]

Can I do this on an old retusa now ? I live in Lille, France. Thanks for your videos ;)

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

Did Ryan do something different with his hair? I can’t quite place my finger on it…

[@PeterFullen]

Hi , Not sure if you covered this, but what was the process to create the ficus from a cutting? Do you just plant the cutting and it creates roots?

[@edvardasdriukas8369]

I would buy your book about ficus bonsai trees, if you have one then link please and in few day's i will start studieng it!!! Thank you 😊

[@KillerBearsaw]

I love tropicals. Super jealous of the locations that enable such massive and rapid growth and aerial root systems. But thankful that i have the knowledge and means to create a similar environment indoors. Really excited to start grafting experiments soon! Thanks for the very useful and concise info about the effects of different pruning on these

[@anggirteja4675]

We in tropical areas also sometimes envy those who live in 4 season areas because you have extraordinary maple trees

[@KillerBearsaw]

@@anggirteja4675 good point! I imagine it's much much harder to create an environment where a Japanese maple would survive in an area outside its natural habitat! I didn't think about that. Thank you, you make me appreciate the few deciduous trees I have even more!

[@rommelrosales8318]

My Ficus microcarpa has a big and ugly surface root. Any pointers on how I can correct it? I live in a tropical country.

[@danielwaldvogel579]

What soil do you use for ficus?

[@alfredgrechbonsailicious4827]

Thanks for sharing.

Thank bonsai video ❤️👍🔔👍🔔👍🔔

[@spencer5082]

Absolutely LOVED this but how he struggled with the word matured or mature or maturing got to me. 😂. I finally thought maybe I missed something and maturized just might be a word. 😂. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and was just using webster's dictionary wrong! On a positive note, this guy is a GREAT instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed this!

[@LinusMuse]

Who is the Martha who authored a book on Florida ficus? I can't understand her last name. AI search turned up nothing as well. Thanks!

[@bildahome]

Yep, seen this video a week ago, why again?

[@SuperPeleke]

So nice, we had to see it twice!

[@BONSAIenCORTO]

The good, better twice!!

[@ronendvir]

what about Ficus sensitivity to cold. Should it be brought inside if the tree is immature or was pruned heavily ? Can you prune in autumn and still prevent decline in winter? can you summarize (maybe in a post) the thing to do and things you shouldn't do with a Ficus (keeping it alive). thank you Mine rotted last winter after 10 years...

[@edvardasdriukas8369]

I didn write nothing bad but KZbin don't want to post !!! 1😡 Great video, You needd to write a book about a bonsai ficus, i would love to have it and study it beter 😊

[@julian_behrens]

is it possible to grow a podocarpus inside? I think it looks simmilar to a juniper, but junipers def die inside of what i heard :) The long leaves ficus looks also like something i would like

[@zimmy1958]

Wow thanks.

[@krasakkrusukbonsai7963]

Good bonsai👍👍❤️❤️

[@takeoischi4156]

Where's Ryan?

[@jaspershepherdsmith9047]

Specialising in species that aren't tropical, I would guess

[@vincedavidarevalo2922]

ficus concinna is the best

[@jenskarlsson4744]

Humidity !!!!

[@abstract200]

Tigerbark is a retusa? Which is also a microcarpa? No! And shame on you Mirai. This is really disappointing where usually your content is top level. Not this time

[@Lewisds]

Per Jerry Meislik’s book, this is a common taxonomical crossover. Ficus microcarpa var. Tiger Bark would be most correct, but many F. microcarpa varieties are represented as F. retusa.

[@abstract200]

@@Lewisds Retusa is a completely different species of Ficus

[@Lewisds]

@@abstract200 yes, however it’s very common for people to misapply F. retusa and F. microcarpa. The speaker still clearly knows his stuff. I already gave one source, however I will also reference the second sentence of this entry en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_retusa.
