I was waiting for that! Thanks so much, Ryan!

[@ollietaylor1991]

One of my favourite videos you’ve published to date. Don’t usually comment but had to complement your clarity, patience and transparency. Learning in London!

[@t3dwards13]

Branches in your mouth. That's dedication! Thank you for your service!

Man, I gotta get my membership back. This is an old video and I need some fresh education. Good timing for releasing it, for sure.

[@wk961]

Membership where?

[@Dan-in-the-Wild]

@@wk961 Mirai has a website with video education and a store, podcast and more.

[@backbudbonsai]

@@wk961there is a bonsai Mirai app. It’s a monthly subscription that gives access to a lot……… not cheap but there is value

[@Dan-in-the-Wild]

106.30 - Thanks for advice like this. Some of the most valuable information I've taken away from Mirai is the distinction between trees in development, trees in secondary development, and trees in refinement. Along with the most comprehensive body of education surrounding all three major stages of development. You folks have rocked my world in the most beautiful way. Thank you so much

That is something alot of places and people even people teaching bonsai seem to neglect or not understand well at all from what I've noticed. So its nice to see comments like yours for me. Particularly alot of beginner's need be taught about that early on imho. You say it abit different than I was taught and sort of classify the stages myself but same general idea I guess that's important to understand. I've always known it more just as the development stage in whole as one (with just early and latter stages of development, not sure if thats what you mean by secondary development or not) with training pots or ground growing, lots of elongation and fast growth, long internodes , organic soils , high nitrogen fertilzer etc. To refinement stage. Where you get material into smaller bonsai pots and inorganic soilsubstrates, slower growth, less elongation, short internotes etc Then also can talk about the Maintenance Stage. Basically where you've got a "finished" tree so to speak and ate trying to keep it like that , keep everything tight and compact over the tears etc . Which can be quite different from early refinement stuff. Anyway yeah nice getting people away from that mindset of wanting to get young plants into bonsai pots and inorganic soils to early with no development and such.

OMG That mending job makes soo much sense!!! I use it in my grafting kit, but never thought to use it in that way.

[@robertobreglia9224]

Great video! Thank you very much Ryan!👍👍👍👍

[@heidizwaenepoel7355]

[@egoebonsai37]

Thanx sharing video n bonsai concept. Good luck Sir. Greeting one hobby Bonsai from Indonesia.

[@browpetj]

Great vid. Tropicals in the Middle East are just starting to grow again after the hot summer. Looking forward to the growing season here (Autumn/winter/spring) 👍🏻

[@Alex-ip1dn]

Thank you team Mirai ❤️

[@damonjones1291]

Great Upload🏆 Learned a lot🙏🏽 👏🏽

[@t3dwards13]

Soo awesome to see you experiment with the "soil food web"! I incorporate it in my bonsai because it retains water better in Southern California, it's practically free, and it's chemical free... Plus, I like to travel.

[@MakeMoreBonsai]

So much useful information! Thanks!

Hi Jelle, I am glad to be able to say something.. Its not fair to compare your area snow and ice, with england, wich is a little alike my area, not to cold, not warm enough for some species, ...but easier to root winter cuttings with a littke help. As I heard....plants start when heat , humidity and sun are there...well ..roots need dark, and warm to start...I think some air too...but not freezing So, hardwood cuttings would need dark, humidity and, as I found out this year, not even substrate ...just warm...so I used the cuttings in garbage bags, I wrapped them in the half with paper tissue to keep them watered, but they showed more rooting nodules outside the paper....so they need only heat and a humid environment to start the process...is my third year experimenting with figs,in patagonia...wish is like growing Baobabs in antartica.,and it's working...with many plants...for heat, I used hot water containers, with a lot of kayers of my jackets , and bed covers...I am sorry is not possible to share pictures this way

[@ludwigcodjambassis8866]

This was supposed to be on Jelle's video, but youtube kept going And inserted I don't know where...what a waste

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Great video, thank you 🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@KungLanBonsai]

very nice bonsai..👍

[@DarthMasiah]

i tried airlayering silverberry in the fall in zone 8a, around the beginning of September. i airlayered one in the woods and one on my bench in its second year after collection, and both exploded with roots.

[@johndartist1]

brilliant job.

[@BONSAIenCORTO]

Masterclass.... Thanks.

[@Daniel-po7tr]

question, i have a 24 year old ficus i played bonsai with for years, i watched a lot of your videos and learned a lot, there are 2 separate trees i put close together, i want them to join as one, should i shave the bark where they meet to expedite or will they eventually join on their own?" thanks, Dan in PA

[@dianawood2671]

I learned a lot from this lesson. I am afraid I missed the chance last fall to wire my wild native crabapple tree (that is about 40 years old and about one and a half foot tall) It had a lot of new branched sprouted out after the hard pruning the year before. Now the branches are not flexible anymore. My question is, can I use. clip and grow method instead of wiring method? Thank you ! Diana

[@DarthMasiah]

for those that use liquid fertilizers or mix their own with 'salts', Jack's hydro line just dropped a 0-12-26 part a for the end of season feeding. at 3 grams a gallon, I'll be feeding at $.03 a gallon for the next couple years with the 20lb bag 🙂

[@mikesbonsaiandmore]

Very nice

[@Timgeo84]

Do you have any tips on Zelcova Serrata? would you treat it the same as you are demonstrating here?

[@brianh.santos9295]

Looking for the Pomegranate video mentioned, having trouble finding it. Can you respond back with a link so I can view it?

[@nogravynopie2396]

can you wire in fall after leaf drop?

[@samyoel5384]

Here in the uk, there was a freak heat wave in September…early autumn! Many of my trees have sent out a new flush! Even the maples in the ground unprotected! Is this bad?

[@scheers100]

Good question. In Belgium we had similar heat wave, even the last days it is reaching +20 Celsius(only about 10C at night)And different trees have flushed out new growth. I hope/think it does not have a big disadvantage. Although the new growth will be more fragile for winter damage. This will be a good learning the coming seasons,… I hope! Best off luck with your trees. 👊

[@scheers100]

👍👍👍👊👌
