[@TOMSAI]

Nice littel Tree ! 😍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you! 😊

[@gregs190]

I’ve taken many elm cuttings but never thought of taking one this big, thanks for sharing

[@GrowingBonsai]

You should! This is still small!

[@BonsaiNorthwest]

Great short and nice result - love it.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@elcin1qrqtgccsguaea]

🤩🤩🤩

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yes, nice!?

[@Xhshjajbcbxbsj]

Immense, love this ❤️

[@GrowingBonsai]

Now.. go out and do it yourself. (Or actually, do this in spring!) :)

quite interesting to say the least I never would’ve thought of an elm tree cut that thick and that easily propagated in a bag like that I mean it’s not like a ficus or anything like that it’s pretty much a hardwood cutting? Did you use any rooting hormone? Of any sore May I ask?

[@GrowingBonsai]

this was just an overnight water soak. Check my recent elm cuttings video. I have done much bigger elm cuttings this way with success.

[@backbudbonsai]

Great short video!! Very calming…… How thick of a cutting is it possible to get from a Chinese elm (cork bark)?

[@GrowingBonsai]

No idea. Thickest I have rooted was about 5cm, 2 inch. I think I would also not try a lot thicker if I really wanted that to live, and I would airlayer it, as that is much more certain to work.

Hoi Jelle ik ben me langzaam maar zeker aan het verdiepen in de wereld van de kleine boom 😅 wat zit er in de witte beker als ik vragen mag en jou soil stel je die zelf samen of koop je dit kant en klaar ?

[@GrowingBonsai]

Gewoon water! Iep een nacht in water zetten helpt bij bewortelen

[@theoschmitt3037]

Das hat bei mir noch nie geklappt😢

[@GrowingBonsai]

Schade! Aber, sollte klappen!

I've had the _hardest. time._ with rooting cuttings and germinating seeds in plastic bags; they've always molded within a couple days, and I've never understood why. Turns out the type of bag matters a lot: some are thin enough, or made of the right material, to allow oxygen to diffuse through the sealed bag while keeping water in, and I don't think either category includes my bags.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hm.. I am not sure about this. I have been using all sorts of bags.. :|

[@Workingouteveryday]

Why is such a small tree already in a bonsai pot? Wouldn’t you want to put it in a growing container first so it thickens up?

[@GrowingBonsai]

not for a mame. In fact, this pot is oversized for mame and big enough to further develop it
