How do you repot a Larch Bonsai Forests with a broken pot?

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

I'm surprised you didn't melt the two pots together.... Start keeping the screw on tops off the plastic soda/pop bottles. They are made of a safe durable plastic you can melt in the oven into flat sheets. perhaps use that to line the inside of the pot. That forest is fabulous! Great video Jelle!

[@jaiprakashpathak8974]

It got quite a natural setting in the new pot. Really a wonderful forest valley.

[@tasanastasi7799]

Bravo! ..very nice work .

[@rebeccahunter725]

It looks like you need to "do a Nigel" and have a go at making your own pot - ceramic would probably last longer then plastic . . . although he has the advantage of retirement allowing time!! This is a lovely little forest.

[@mattbrennan647]

Nice looking forest Jelle. That pot is quite unique as well. Looks like it’s ready for another growing season. Thanks, keep growing

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks, you too!

Great video and good work repairing the pot. I think the back is a better "front" when you spun it round at the end of the video 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Why do you feel the other side is better as front?

[@Mr10russ10]

Your front has a very deep and empty foreground and as you said the pot needs to be tilted to straighten the large tree in the centre. @12:20 to me, this looks better more fuller, better foreground and you can see the smaller trees added plus the trees look straight without tilting the pot.

[@garyt4394]

@@Mr10russ10 - I agree. That way round the forest is more dynamic, and the large tree invites the viewer in to explore.

Great looking larch forest 👍

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thanks so much!

Nice repair job on the slab/tray/“stone” Jelle 🔥 🔥 🔥 These sculpting videos seem to be trending right now…I better get to work sometime soon! 😂 Thanks as always for your quality content! 👏🏽 🪴 🍁

[@GrowingBonsai]

They are:) Go and make something! THanks a bunch!

[@japanesemaplesbonsai7133]

Lovely forest Jelle, thanks for sharing!

[@jeffhurst4744]

Great forest/grouping. 👍. See that your ability in finding a suitable slab to fit the forest was not successful. I think many of us are finding the selections and availability of bonsai slabs is very limited, not to mention their rise in prices. Hoping your repairs on original slab give it new life for many years to come. Thanks for showing and sharing your repot experiences.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Very true! Ah well..

[@theoschmitt3037]

Hi Jelle, hat ja gut geklappt....und die angebrochenen Äste wachen sicher auch wieder an....hast es ja letztens bei meiner Lärche gesehen😊

[@johnlindell5024]

Love your channel! Beautiful forest!🌲

[@KennetDeBondt]

Nice job, nice forest. You can fix this pot with fiberglass, epoxy and put some sand on the wet epoxy for the texture.

[@GrowingBonsai]

Hi Kenneth, the melting worked a charm too. Just lacked material to keep it in the original shape!

[@alexandros1973]

Hi Joelle, thank you for this video, this is a beautiful forest composition 👌 Would you consider changing the front side to this forest? I think it looks better from the back side now that there are no leaves! I understand though that the front side will be just correct when there will be leaves.

[@nerinat8371]

What a great project that was.. very enjoyable thanks so much

[@GrowingBonsai]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@mcbabs7495]

Vos vidéos sont toujours intéressantes, merci à vous!

[@GrowingBonsai]

Thank you so much!

[@ludwigcodjambassis8866]

Thanks Jelle I repair broken branches with electric adhesive tape, as I use it for grafting too...I thought ir a grafting insulated with that, works, repairing a branch should do too, and it did so far in any conditions...it may happen that the scar grows too big...but that will be only in the main trunc or in main branches

[@GrowingBonsai]

Yeah, good point. I will see what happens!

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

I really enjoyed watching this Jelle - especially with your pot repairs. I have two x three group forests and a five tree forest that I ned to put together. The needles are just starting to oepn on a few of the branches... At least 7 of these trees are over 20 years old :)

[@maryweber4176]

Do you wonder what Tony would have done with a torch????

[@TheBonsaiGarden]

@@maryweber4176😂 Tunguska? 😂😂😂

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

@@TheBonsaiGardenNow that is funny :)

[@maryweber4176]

Spot on. I have to admit I had to look that up. Lesson of the day.@@TheBonsaiGarden

[@stevetippin]

What about a fibreglass patch for the old pot? Love the patina from the flame. The forest looks great from the back too!

[@Yurup]

Jelle, don't you think you can repair the pot with some fiberglass strips?

[@maryweber4176]

I was wondering the same thing

[@thomassiebenburgen6464]

Hi Jelle, du machst super Videos, danke. Viel Inspiration für einen älteren Anfänger... Was ist das für ein Baum in der Mitte? Beste Grüße, Thomas

[@GrowingBonsai]

danke! alle sind larche!

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌🙂

[@GrowingBonsai]

:D

[@nathalierouhier4726]

I prefer the other side

[@GrowingBonsai]

in leaf, the back is just closed.

[@lougriffiths]

Honestly, the pot is horrible, but the forest is fab

[@GrowingBonsai]

Why do you find the pot horrible?

[@lougriffiths]

@GrowingBonsai I think it is very ugly, and the way sides bend up spoil the flow. Sorry xx
