Bougainvillea Bonsai - How To Propagate Large Bougainvillea From Cuttings

[@franklynfranco4308]

Thank you for your time and knowledge, I'm 67 years old ready to go on retirement to Ecuador, is a nice climate , no snow, low 65 up to 85 highs, plenty sunshine, I like plants like my mother, and I know a have a good hand, I like the Bonsai, I learn a lot from you. Keep spreading the beauty of you as person, I know you are not selfish, you always will give. Gracias, thank you

[@themeticulousguy9675]

This is the best video on the topic. The tip for cutting holes in the plastic cover really helps the cuttings to get accustomed slowly.

When is the best season to plant large bougainvilleas ? … could I plant them in the dark basement where the winter temperature is warmer ? . Christopher Island of Cyprus

[@cathymadsen2930]

Some people just have a talent to teach and explain thing well and Mr Sony Le has that talent. The idea about slowly changing the humidity by cutting the plastic is such a great idea... thank you.

[@evanthiel8087]

You are a star...!!! I have a 11 year old Bougainvillea... and cannot make it flower or stop growing those looong... branches... Thank you... I so needed this tutorial and .. your bird bath...is Amazing...!!! I'm your new fan... 🌺🌻🌺🌻🌺🌻😘❤

[@ShyDog827]

Wonderful to see the process. I felt satisfaction as if I had done the work. Today and yesterday I bought a Bougainvillea and a large Desert Rose for the continued connection at home👍🏻

[@kailash2930]

i always used to throw the cuttings when i pruned my huge 30 year old tree and now i know i could make beautiful bonsai

[@vishaldubey7186]

I am from India and a beginner in bonsai gardening ... Very detailed video of yours .. I liked it and will try to implicate your technique... Thanks for sharing your knowledge

[@Foxtrot1967]

Very nice. You live in Florida and the warm & humid environment is a huge benefit for germination and growing. Others who live in hot and dry areas may not experience the same success.

[@ralphkintzer5353]

I didn't even think that was possible. Thank you for sharing sir. Cheers

[@wayneryder5251]

Really lovely way of growing bougies . I learnt a lot today from this video . Thanks a lot mr Lee

[@francesjones9644]

This was amazing. I have never seen cuttings strike from such large trunks. Thank you so very much for sharing this. I’m not sure if I could replicate this in the UK (quite a bit colder here!) but it’s always worth a try? Thank you again.

[@lilianarejon2366]

Thanks for your video. Very well explained. And the music is soo calming!

[@roshinvarghese6111]

Thank you. Well explained and demonstrated. This is knowledge for me. I didn't know such thick stems could be propagated.

[@RS-rk1on]

Mr. Le, thank you once again for your incredible video. I love your cement pot one and now your Bonsai one looks simple and achievable. Can not wait to try out your idea. Thank you. Awesome 🌺

I love to garden but I’ve never tried Bonsai. I look forward to your next instructional on Bougainvilleas. I will give it a try after that video.

[@nileshpatel2861]

Thx for an amazing demonstration! Did you water at all during the period when you covered with plastic? Did you place the pot on sun or shaded area? Thanks once again🙏🏽

I have that plant direct to the soil and put the branches in my concrete fence, now they bear very beautiful flowers.But i never plant in a pot.I will do the same way to propagate new ones.thanks for your video sir .

[@Midlife-Adventures]

I would suggest that if you own the donor plant to air layer the pieces you want rather than take large cuttings. That should have a higher success rate for large pieces. Plenty of videoed on KZbin on doing air layers. Large cuttings are good when you don’t have long term access to the parent plant but less reliable than air layering.

[@kimdoikyanh]

@@Midlife-Adventures Agreed!

Mr. Le, I so enjoy watching your videos. They are very easy to understand and follow. I bought a couple of these small plants last year, I’m hoping they will have new growth this year. We had a cold winter and I covered them to protect them but I’m very worried if they survived or not. Can you give me any tip for a young plant to help boost its chances of regrowth after a cold winter.

Excellent video. There seems to be enough sand and soil to hold the cuttings. Is it important to tie them together? Also your weather seems to be hot and humid looking at the fast growth. Flowering from cutting in 3 months. Thats incredible.

Yss,I too want to know the same

[@kavitatendolkar4253]

Mr. Le, thank for a lovely video.Thr end result was just WOW ! I will certainly follow you and try this method. But, do tell me whether we can use this method for all types of tree trunks and get good results ? Or will this be possible only with bogunvilla ? Thanks in advance.

[@SonyLe]

Kavita, this method works with most of the tree but I have never tried on hard wood tree so I am not sure. Thank you

[@harrykapnopoulos4253]

I have a Bougainville bonsai it’s about 12 to 14 year old frost nearly killed it I saved it now it looks good how often do you repots the plant

[@Belavinash]

Great video, just want to know, if you watered the cuttings after covering with plastic ?

[@SonyLe]

No watering needed. The plastic will hold the moisture /water inside.

[@arupdas_497]

Very nice 👌.Tell me about about the potting media you have been used,sir.

[@aniketmishra3089]

How many time did you water before you opened the cover

Thank you, I find it fascinating watching you turn nothing into something so beautiful 😍

[@lakeforest3222]

This is very informative video. Thank you for sharing.

[@d.k.3316]

Hi Sony. Great video. Did you seal the top of the large pieces. When you first wrapped the container, the tops were bare wood. When you opened it 6 weeks later, it had a pale blue-grey coating on it. Am I seeing that right? What was the coating?

[@SonyLe]

Yes DK, some how my camera missed that part when I paint the top cut. As I mentioned in the video that need to seal at 5:27 , sorry for the confusions. Thank you so much

Hi...after covering with plastic sheet does plants need water...if yes how to do ? Thanks

[@meglimpo9946]

Hi, when you removed the plastic the first time i noticed that you applied something on the cut portion of the branch that is color white can you tell what was it? Also can i ask if you water the basin before you cover the plant for the second time? Thank you very much your video is very informative!

[@jeremiothunder2026]

rooting powder

[@avinashcj398]

When you apply rooting harmone powder to the stems, you burried under sand, then you watered full tray. Does the rooting harmone still stick to the stem or it will be washed aways as you water them???

You can use water base paint or nail polish. Healing glue is good too available at Home Depot or Lowes

[@thugiangvu1]

Amazing ...i love your flowers much much. Thank You very much.

You can use latex paint or either nail polish is ok. They have healing gel available at nursery also. Thank you

[@cyrilliyinfo1762]

Sir thank you very much for the video. But can I ask you a question. After covering the plants completely with the plastic bag, how can you water the plants. Please do clarify me on this issue because I am not sure if I need to water the plants every day to keep the soil moist..Thank you beforehand, I am waiting impatiently for your answer.

[@SonyLe]

Never water during this time. The plastic will hold the water/ moisture inside, it can not evaporate. That is why I watered it first before cover it by a plastic sheet.

[@sukumarhalder6786]

Mr. Le, Many thanks for too much information . Learn so much from your video . I ask you one question that is which compost or soil .

[@lupitacota5016]

Nunca se riegan mientras tienen el plastico? Porfa pongale subtitulos en español tengo mucho que lo sigo buenisimos videos

[@piplup0089]

Questions. For the big branches when sealed you don't water them for the 6 week period? And same for the smaller 2-3 week branches. Don't add water for the whole time sealed? Thanks!

[@SonyLe]

Yes Sir. No water during the whole time. The plastic keep the water from evaporation. I forgot to mention in the video that leave it in the partial shade/sun. Thank you
