[@dannycraig6704]

1st question how do i join the brotherhood? Nice to see something different. Very inspiring thanks.

[@JoCFrie]

Amazing!! Everything!!! You guys are amazing!!!

[@notionbonsai]

Thanks so much! You should check out Attila's channel @FangornBonsai

[@XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

That is an awesome pot and I like the way you overcame the securing problem. You seem to have a great partnership building with Attila :)

[@notionbonsai]

Thanks Xavier! 🤗 The Bamboo sticks really came in handy!!

[@janeplatt8254]

Great look ❤

[@casandraolund9006]

That is an amazing pot and planting. It’s funny that you put the slant cut in because when I saw the pot it was the first thing I thought of 😂

[@notionbonsai]

Attila did such a great job on that pot/slab! It definitely is an alternative route of getting the trees to sit in place, though I dont think it would improve the roots over time! 😊😊

[@karpetmotor1163]

Amazing🎉 can't wait the update❤❤

[@notionbonsai]

🤗🌳🤗🌳

[@jazzrat2000]

I'm only a minute in so I shouldn't comment yet, but I love it so far! You look like you were carrying a small bonsai as you came across the screen for the first time:) fortunately I have a huge homemade broken pot that can be made into what you're doing, thanks!

[@notionbonsai]

Ah nice one!! Let me know how your planting goes for you!

[@stevehartkopf9114]

Man that was a lot of work! Great job guys!

[@notionbonsai]

Hey Steve! 🤗 Thank you so much for your support of the channel!! 🌳🤗💖 This was a really fun project to make!

[@davidernstzen1915]

Love what you'll have done ..makes me feel that even I can do it ...which I definitely will do .

[@notionbonsai]

Thanks David! I hope it goes well for you!! 🤗

[@kimaholland3423]

Well done young adam! you and your friend atilla are getting better tree by tree. would love to see an update of this forest in 5 years.

[@notionbonsai]

Thanks Kima! 😊 We will do an update on this forest later this year when it sends out new leaves!

[@deepanjanbanerjee3491]

Excellent stuff. 👏🏼👏🏼

[@notionbonsai]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

[@Andimia55]

I got to see Kimura's garden in person last November and Kimura's mixture for his "stone" is really light he let me pick up one of the unplanted rocks he had in his garden.

[@notionbonsai]

Aw wow! That must have been so cool to see! That is interesting about the stone though!! I wonder what he uses in his plantings!

[@Dylan-ok6ft]

I loved that you added mushrooms to the forest! More folks should try to work fungi into bonsai. Nothing says mature forest like mushrooms 🍄

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thanks!! I love fungi! I supplement Lions Mane every day 🤗

[@dotbotha5898]

It is beautiful

[@anamarisol1984]

😮🤯🤯🤯🤯 I love this composition. What an awesome one you and atila did.... again!

[@notionbonsai]

It was so fun to work on this one!

[@lindac446]

[@notionbonsai]

Oh wow it does!! Thanks for commenting this! I now know what cypress knees are 🤗🌳

[@nsolanoc.]

[@forrestcrabbe]

That looks great 🤘

[@notionbonsai]

🤗Thanks forrest crabbe!

[@johnlindell5024]

Great content! Would love me a cypress forest. You planting will turn out great. Maybe too many trees for my taste. Still beautiful forest planting🌲

[@notionbonsai]

Thank you so much John! 🤗

[@abdelazizhamouda4363]

Brilliant job. But can you make a video please how to make the slab pot.

[@notionbonsai]

Hey! You can see how the slab was made over on Attilas channel! I have left a link in the video description 🤗🤗

[@bonsaitime621]

Sweet composition Adam...foist I think

[@notionbonsai]

You are foist!! 🏆🏆

[@jakesnelling8331]

I think I would have done more root work in the previous years to get rid of the largest roots. Not that it matters as it looks great 👍 On a side note.. how do you not ruin your funky clothes? 🤣 I end up in a right state sometimes, lol. Great video, as always 👍

[@notionbonsai]

Ahh that would have looked even better for sure!! This is a good idea to keep in mind for super long term projects! If you work with soil that is on the dry side, I find it is easier to keep them clean (not all the time though lol) Thanks for watching Jake!

[@raymondbirds2392]

Lovely job, how long did it take from start to finish

[@notionbonsai]

The pot itself took Attila 1 week to make. Then it took us 2 days to assemble the planting. (not counting the time it took to grow the trees to the thickness they are at now!) 🤗🌳🌳🌳

[@Plummdaddy]

Great video! Do you think those trees would handle hot and humid climates like Houston Texas? It’s a sub tropical climate here.

[@notionbonsai]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Swamp cypress is well-suited to hot and humid climates like Texas. As a tree native to swampy regions of the southeastern US, they are highly adaptable to a variety of growing conditions, including hot summers and high humidity. In fact, the hot and humid climate of Houston would provide ideal conditions for swamp cypress to thrive and grow vigorously. Just be sure to give them enough water and moisture retention in the soil, as swamp cypress trees prefer moist to wet conditions 🤗🌿🌳

[@RO-Smart]

Hi Adam, greetings from Bavaria, it's a great piece of art you both created. A question, a bit off topic: where did you bought the black background screen? Thanks Dieter

[@notionbonsai]

Hey thank you for your kind words!! I believe this pull down roller is the back side of a white screen for a projector! 😊

[@Елена-щ5ъ2ж]

❤❤❤✨🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱💫❤❤🤩very beautiful 💚thank you Adam💚really 14:58 18:37 16/03✨🌱✨

[@notionbonsai]

Hey Елена 🤗Thank you!

[@Bonsaicrazy]

Awesome Adam 👊👊👊 Sorry I had to go mate 👊👊

[@notionbonsai]

No worries Andy!! Thank you for watching man!

[@notionbonsai]

No worries Andy!! Thanks for watching man 🤗🤗

[@jazzrat2000]

I don't have access to a lot of moss here strangely enough. When I do this I'm worried the water will rinse all the dirt down to the bottom even if I covered it with something like coco coir. Does the moss keep the dirt from rinsing away?

[@notionbonsai]

Hey! from what I have found - the soil stays on pretty well if you water it gently and dont blast it 🤗

[@Justin-PLLD]

Even though other people told you what this plant is, I would still like to do it so that I feel satisfied. I thought I was cool cuz I knew what plant it was. So I checked my hort. resource and I was close but so wrong. I thought you'd find this funny. My first thought was Ligularia stenocephala 'The Rocket' but no that's yellow and not even related. I now know it's Umbilicus rupestris. I will add this to my horticulture knowledge bank. Thanks everyone.

[@mariuszkupczyk2137]

what substrate did you use for this composition?🤔

[@notionbonsai]

Hey! The soil used in this planting is a mix of sphagnum moss and compost. This is because swamp cypress requires a lot of water 😀

[@riccardozecchin9220]

Pleaso do a follow up 🥺

[@brianjanku4549]

I don't know if that is the best species for a slab unless you are good at never forgetting to water. I have a huge one that I plan on putting in a nice deep pot.
