Thank you

Hi Sir GC, nice work and choice of materials. How long the film will be there and will you keep on water spray this once in a while? Thanks

[@GCBonsai]

Yes you're right, watering is required when necessary. Keep monitoring the moisture of the medium

[@GCBonsai]

Let the film stay there until the roots are visible and stable clinging.

[@richardforster4429]

I know you explained somewhat. But whats wrong with some of the roots reaching the soil bellow? And Isnt there a big risk of the mud coming away or cracking if let to dry out too much?

[@GCBonsai]

Q1. Ans. - The tree had almost reached the planned shape and style, that's why, the technique being used is to force the root to cling to the rock instead of letting the root to escape in the soil extension. Q2. In this setting a constant monitoring of the soil and a proper watering technique must be applied depending on the weather, soil moisture and percolation. In addition, the integration of cocopeat in the soil mixture will strengthen the composure of the media that enhance moisture retention, and that will prevent it from immediate soil cracking due to dryness.

[@facomeda]

Pls give us un update of this tree.

[@Urkiadk]

Very nice video 💪 How long is it wrapped before you take it away?

[@GCBonsai]

Glad to hear your feedback. The film shall be removed until the roots are visible and established stability clinging on the rock. A watering shall be made only when the medium almost dried to sustain moisture and to encourage the roots system to absorb water from the rock in order to cling the tree faster.

[@ThePhilClark]

@@GCBonsai HOW do you water this? Misting foliage, or letting water get inside film? Thank you for your help.

[@GCBonsai]

Yes, Both will do, water through the foliage and let the water get in through the film.

[@richardsimbuerger7812]

Hi, a very nice video, thanks a lot for showing this technique. Wouldn´t it not be better to defoliate the tree first, sitting in his original Pot??? Defoliating on the stone disturbs the roots, I think.

[@GCBonsai]

Hi I agree with you Sir. To defoliate it first, I just want to show to the viewers how it looks when foliage will shoot up. Maybe after the training of roots, we will set this on the desirable pot.

[@mr.jiakun2032]

From cuttings ba Yan sir?

[@GCBonsai]

Marcot po Sir.

[@robertmartirez4975]

Self watering n b yan ka sai hindi n kailangan diligan?

[@GCBonsai]

Magandang tanong to Sir.. Maraming Salamat. Hindi po Sir, frequent watering parin depende sa dryness ng lupa, Open po ang upper portion nyan, excess water will still escape outside the wrap or within the open lines sa film. Ni restrict lng natin sa ngayon na mka, escape ang roots para mas kumapit pa xa sa bato.

[@varistojamonbanua]

I suggest tela dapat not plastic wrappe.its mainit kc.

[@GCBonsai]

Yes, you're right that's why I suggested in the video to use a used clothes as an alternative, yet this plastic wrap will also encourage root system to cling easier and faster to the rock than the clothes. Using clothes as wrap has disadvantages rin base on my experience, coz some of the roots will cling to the clothes instead of the rock due to the moisture content available in the clothes when watered. Salamat po sa pagpuna.

[@josetrigueros2012]

I would prefer listening to the background noise instead of this music. Otherwise good tutorial on techniques. Thanks.

Kuya, you guys are beasts! I love all your trees and videos. That mulawin daga with your man is beautiful, and that hollow tree (I dont remember what spe ie that is in one of your vids)! Wala akong mahanap na Philippine tree bonsai dito (dry kasi, California) may idea po ba kayo pano buhayin tropical trees in a dry weather? Thank you po! Love all your vids! Swerte namin! Edit: typo

[@GCBonsai]

Hi Giya, Thank you. You may start with a ficus tree which is commonly available all over U.S. Also you may try bougainvillea if available. Olive, Maples or any deciduous or broadleaf evergreens can be also a good bonsai material that we may apply with the techniques from my videos.

[@giyavictoria3747]

@@GCBonsai thank you po sir! I have a ficus (the ginseng one) and have been keeping this jade ones for a few years now, but I think I failed to keep messing with the leaves as some of them are still big in my liking. They're very hardy, although I noticed the ficus is alot more sensitive with water and sun. Yes! Never thought of bougainvillea! Those were beautiful! (To tell you honestly this is a random hobby I picked up after I played with succulents--- very easy,barely need to do anything) opposite of bonsai

[@GCBonsai]

@@giyavictoria3747 glad to hear that. Yes you can try the bougainvillea. Keeping Succulents is a good hobby too however succulents is different from trees and shrubs, yet the important thing is that we enjoy our hobby.Though "Plants" could not speak yet they really teaches us patience, care, love and most important is the value of time.

[@giyavictoria3747]

@@GCBonsai ah yes! They're very different and I'm literally just in the beginning of taking this seriously, I been reading blogs about them. Tanong lang po, I found conflicting ideas on the jade plant and the ficus ginseng, some say they are not real bonsai as they are not real trees, I agree. Lots of nurseries here carry jade and the ginseng so its confusing, am I in the right direction? Keeping them as bonsai? Or are they better as succulents? And If i want to really delve into a tree, for a novice what would you recommend? Thank you po!

[@GCBonsai]

@@giyavictoria3747 Thank you po for this interesting question. For me, as long as you have enjoyed that tree there is no problem on keeping them. However, I haven't seen something like that here in the exhibition or a competition. But in my opinion, as long as it looks like a tree, it has branches, they are hardwood, they are perennials and they got fine leaves (right proportion to the overall size of the tree) or something like a mimicry of a tree in nature or a scenery then that is a good Bonsai for me. ----- I would recommend a ficus microcarpa, benjamina, nerifolia or a chinese elm if available in your area they are a good bonsai material for beginners.
