How To Make Bonsai On The Cheap

[@rogerbriggs9802]

I'm impressed by the fact that although you deal in high end bonsai , you make videos which absolute beginners can relate to.

[@Cheerok]

He loves this art so much that he wants to inspire people to take part in it. Worst thing to happen for an art or hobby is that it becomes elitist. Over time fresh artists will stop coming in. Kind of counter-intuitive, looking at the fact that bonsai aims at caring for a plant and making it grow into something beautiful, which will never happen if you constrict the roots ;)

[@terryisaac8195]

Yes!!! Thank you for making your videos!!!

[@katcoe1079]

A lot of hobby videos are made with the sole intention of selling you something, either from their website or with affiliate links. Often usually shorter punchier videos that are designed to catch people's attention. This is why I like the videos on this channel. Peter already had a very successful business and therefore is willing to share his information and time without trying to heavily influence what we buy or where we buy it from. This video in particular is a fine example, he let's you know that the plants can be purchased from any nursery instead of pushing to buy from his nursery (however would buy from him if I didn't l live in the southern hemisphere, New Zealand is really strict about plants coming into the country).

[@jesseporter3397]

@@katcoe1079 new Zealand is smart for that because I sound like the crazy person warning all my neighbors that the Japanese knotweed around the corner will be knocking at their door sooner than later. Its really crazy how many invasives we have that have already established beyond the point of control and how few people know. No offense to the "master gardeners" programs in the U.S but they push pamphlets and pass judgements usually and do very little actual physical removal.

[@IRONHORSE427RACING]

I know this video is from 2 years ago but it's one I revisit often to remind me of just how truly simple and uncomplicated this Bonsai love we all share can be. Sometimes we tend to forget the why we started Bonsai to begin with. Me I got interested at an early age, my great Aunt from Sweden who met and married my Grandmother's Brother when he was stationed in Europe after WW2. They then returned home to the States and settled in California and lived next to a Chinese man who owned and ran a Nursery. Long story short we went out to visit them one summer, I was 14 and my Aunt took me to the Neighbors Nursery and it was the absolute most beautiful place I had ever seen on the inside. From outside it looked like a normal plant and flower nursery boy was I surprised. She introduced me to their Neighbor and he showed us around and his Bonsai Garden just grabbed me , the Art, the beauty, the patience, the knowledge, the vision it took to look at a little shrub looking ordinary juniper and to see it as a 50, 75, 100 year old Bonsai just floored me. That day he helped me create my very first Juniper Bonsai that I still have today and I was hooked. It went from a tiny little bit of artwork in a very plain clay rectangular bonsai pot you could hold easily in one hand to a 18" tall spread out twisted Tanuki Juniper Bonsai that I am very proud of. It was a 2 yr old bit of ground juniper when we made it into a bonsai 38 yrs ago so this next spring it will be 40 yrs old and growing strong. I won't let it get any taller but it's got a lot of time to spread out to get to where I will call it finished. For a long time that was the only living plant I owned and where I moved it went with me. Now my wife and I own and operate our own little family run logging company where we remove trees in the mountains that are needing thinned out to lessen the spread of fire or Mountain Pine Beatle that has devastated so much of our NATIONAL FOREST'S. We have built our own log home here in the Mountains and built an indoor/outdoor greenhouse kind of we call it our "outside in room" but it's really part of our home that's a year round sun room full of life and plants of all types. And we spend about 60% of our time in that part of the house. This is just one reason I return to this video about once a year just to remind me. Thanks Mr.Chan so very much.

[@allanchurm]

osmosis, where a thicker liquid attracts a thinner liquid is the main killer...trees pull water up the trunk from the ground..BUT sometimes people feed the tree with too much food making the water thicker in the earth around the tree..SO a thicker liquid will pull a thinner liquid in this case out of the tree the leaves start to dry out ( so people feed the tree more thinking it needs food ) had a few bring there bonsai in and thats all that was needed wash the earth around the tree fresh soil and advice on using a proper feed. ME.. i use tea bags boil them and use the water ( no milk or sugar ) or boil nettles.. lol lazy days all my trees are heading towards 50 years old now

This tutorial worked great for me. I've never done Bonsai, but within a week I acquired 7 plants. 4 I bought from the gardening center for less than 65€ total. I also dug up 3 nice maple plants from the wild. For wiring I used copper wire as described, which was also very cheap. For substrate I used different things I already had in the garden, where I also collected a little moss collection for decoration. These videos make starting Bonsai really simple, thank you!

This is a very good opening. You discuss your beginnings and how you started. That always presents very well from anyone meeting you for the first time. Bravo. Then you continue. Junipers such as ground cover are mentioned. Another revelation for me: you discuss using a good pair of ordinary pruning shears that appear to be of the by-pass variety as the sharp blades to not meet one another but one sharp blade passes by the support on the shear. Another strong point of this presentation. Thus far, I'm using only pruning shears of this type. However, I'm working on Olives that grew from plantings on my property that my wife decided she wanted or that was part of a landscape put in by a pro landscaper when some cement path and wall work was completed. My Bonsai Olive trees appear to be somewhat different than other Bonsai that I've seen on the net. AF

People who are afraid of pruning their plants should try growing tomatoes for a season or two. The regular indefinite vine kind and not dwarf or cherry. They can become unruly lucious monsters in a span of week or two. At first you're afraid to touch them but then they swallow you, your house and your whole neighbourhood and you only feel satisfied after you pruned 70% of the shoots and leaves. Ofc after a week you need to do it again. Great exercise.
