great video! very helpful as I am just getting ready to start my bonsai journey. It is good to see how these cedars can look because they aren't very interesting in their nursery pots. Would you recommend fertilizing a new tree like this. and if so what kind of fertilizer would be ok and when would be a good time to apply it? Thanks!
@notionbonsai Жыл бұрын
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you found the video helpful in your Bonsai journey 🪴 As for fertilizing a new tree like this, I would recommend waiting a few weeks or even a month after repotting to allow the tree to settle in its new environment. Once the tree has had time to adjust, you can start fertilizing. For a Cedar Bonsai, I would recommend using a slow-release fertilizer that is high in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. You can find bonsai-specific fertilizers at your local nursery or online. Follow the recommended application rate on the fertilizer packaging, and apply it during the growing season (spring to autumn) every 2-4 weeks. Remember to also monitor the tree's growth and adjust the fertilizer application as needed. Over-fertilizing can lead to root burn and other issues, so it's important to be mindful of the tree's needs.

Excellent video Adam!! You have an amazing way of teaching bonsai. Is this your occupation? Were you formally trained in bonsai? I love this tree and can't wait to see it grow on. I am watching this video a year after you did it, so I am going to look for any updates on it. Gorgeous little pot too! I just got to the end of the video, Congrats on 200 subscribers LOL.

I'm so glad I found this video! this Christmas I was lucky enough to get a free thuja, very like this one, except a bit taller, so I want to make it into a Bonsai. Yours is the most helpful video so far! My biggest question now is when should I do this? It's the end of January 2024 now, and we've had some hard cold for a few days (near 0 deg F.), but it's been raining for the last two and the ice is gone, but it could easily come back (I'm in Connecticut, USA)When is the best time of year to repot and prune?

how will these do indoors? is strong direct light enough?
@pianomusique48382 жыл бұрын
Conifers don't tend to survive indoors. It's more than light that they need. It's important for them to stay outside so they can experience the natural season cycle and go through dormancy and all that.

Mine turned orange over the winter. It's not dead is it? And will it turn green again?
@notionbonsai Жыл бұрын
It could be what is known as winter burn, however they can turn brown for a variety of other reasons like fungal diseases, pests and improper watering. If you scrape a little of the bark and it is green underneath then the tree is still alive. If its brown it may have died. Its good to keep the frost and cold wind off them in winter. Hope this helps!

Great video. I have a Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata) that I've had since August 2021. I didn't know about the frost blush but I actually really liked the look of it and found that it didn't effect the new growth come summer. Would love to see an update on this tree next Spring.

Is there a comprehensive list of plants and trees that bonsai well? I can only ever find “TOP 10 MOST COMMON BONSAI TREES”.
@notionbonsai Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure! I do know there are a wide range of species that are commonly used and have proven to be suitable for Bonsai cultivation. Some popular choices include Juniper, Pine, Maple, Elm, Ficus, Azalea, Cedar, Cypress, and Crabapple. BUT! The art of Bonsai allows for creativity and experimentation, so there are no strict limitations on which plants can be trained as Bonsai. 🤗 Many different species can be used, including both deciduous and evergreen trees, as well as flowering plants. It's important to consider the specific needs and characteristics of each species when choosing a plant for Bonsai, such as its growth habits, tolerance to pruning, and adaptability to container cultivation. 🌱

I thought Eastern White Cedars are actually Junipers? Juniperus virginiana?
@notionbonsai Жыл бұрын
Hey! You're correct! Eastern White Cedars are often referred to as Junipers, specifically Juniperus virginiana. While they are commonly called cedars, they are actually part of the Juniperus genus. The term "cedar" is used colloquially to describe several different tree species, and Eastern White Cedar is one of them. It's important to note the scientific name to accurately identify the species, and in the case of Eastern White Cedars, it belongs to the Juniperus genus. Thank you for pointing that out! 😊
@lgriffin8056 Жыл бұрын
If wikipedia is correct (no guarantee but the article seemed well written), Thuja occidentalis is also called northern white cedar and western white cedar. The eastern red cedar is Juniperus virginiana. I'm glad you're using scientific names, Adam, it helps a lot! I really like your videos.
@valahnuk3593 Жыл бұрын
Hi! Love your channel. You inspired me to try this so today I bought a cheap thuja to practice on. 😊 I just have one question, Do you think it is okay to root prune,repotting and do all that in this time of the year or should I wait til spring next year before doing that? Will it survive?
@TalkingLoon5 ай бұрын
Perhaps too late to chime in, but if you acquire bonsai stock well beyond spring, it's safer to wait for the next spring to do any major root prune/repot (with few exceptions). Altho good, proper care can often substitute for any time of year. "Will it survive?" is the biggest question in bonsai, just my opinion.
