In my opinion this is one of the best bonsai channels out there. I like his pragmatic approach. He explains everything very easy to understand, he doesn´t tell you to get tons of expensive tools, no spechial soils that are hard to get and so on. Just simple advise that wil get you to your goal. I´m just getting into bonsai and his videos are very helpful.

In an earlier video you showed mixing moss with the soil to improve rootgrowth. 75% of my Ficus cuttings survived and rooted perfectly. I was amazed by the amount of roots on some cuttings. I started with 2 ficusses now having 12. Although propagating ficus went very well, propagating juniper got me zero result. This year I'll try again, maybe I need more moss in the soil for juniper.

I have been trying to save the apple trees planted from the bear dung often close or a few km from farm areas of bears feeding off apple orchards or harloom trees planted by the early pioneer farms, that have been often cross pollinated, or might exist a hard to find harloom variety, there probably all variants, but I add as record the previous farm family last name to the word bear, thus won-bear, or Oko-bear. at times I can rescue apple trees planted from seed and they grow very slow, But I have a hard time producing apple trees from cuttings, and even the early root stocks I want to graft them on to. I am guessing my problem is maintaining moisture and temperature, and keeping the cutting shaded. perhaps not using loose enough compost soils that will hold water and temperature. maybe issues with fungi or bacteria. My only result was using branches as thick as my finger, thus thicker than a standard pencil, that seemed to have thicker vigerious bark. and pre opening the soil with a wider opening, so that the rooting hormone does not scrape off inserting in the soil. and I watered with willow bark water. but I guess when we have a hobby we need a serious space like a table made for the project, that is near our everyday path so we can monitor every day?
