How to Repot Your Bonsai -Juniper

[@ConnieP-gs2sb]

Thank you for explaining the “conventional wisdom “ of pot choice; it’s something I have been wondering about!

[@champagnewalkersequinemass3568]

I am so grateful for your willingness to share your wealth of knowledge. I don’t have $$ to pay for classes. You are excellent at explaining in a succinct and clear way. TY so very much. So much beauty

[@incredible5587]

100%!!! I have been playing his stuff all day while i work and listen and watch when i can but learning so much.

[@RB-ze7bh]

Dear Mr. Chan, I live in NYC and just bought my very first ficus. I was very nervous at first but watching your videos gave me confidence and repotted the plant. I really appreciate your videos, they are not only informative but are also very relaxing. May you stay healthy and continue sharing this wonderful knowledge. Thank you kindly :)

[@briankavanagh7191]

Peter, after watching your Far East Bonsai holiday and the statues/stones those gardens have on display, how about a short video on the stone ornaments you have?

[@AsiaPacificGarden]

Excellent explanation! Many people often forget to factor in their location's climate when studying bonsai care. And I LOVE how you say you're not bound by rules but still share the base information. We share this same philosophy with our students and customers.

[@splitjonas]

Yea, here in Norway, repotting needs to be done in April/Mai due to the cold. (Late spring)

[@AsiaPacificGarden]

@@splitjonas we are in the Seattle area and normally for us it's between February and March. But our winter this year went from -8 Celsius to 17 Celcius in the same week; some of my dormant plants are starting to wake up because of how warm it is now.

[@champagnewalkersequinemass3568]

Stunning and beautiful. Huge difference from repotting showing off the uniqueness of each tree.

[@haroldLangseth]

Peter, I so appreciate you. I have my morning coffee every day and watch one of your videos. I have learned so much from you. Thanks!

[@paulmbeckett]

14:26 Peter, I’d love to see a video of your take on the differences between Chinese and Japanese bonsai styles - if you have any examples of both at Herons?

[@peterchan3100]

Just look at pics of trees in china and Japan. But every country and culture will have their own distinctive style. Learn to respect them all.

[@t3dwards13]

I had to lol when Sir Peter dropped the mica pot on the ground, then put it back on the shelf!!! It felt like an infomercial!

[@peterchan3100]

Ha Ha - nothing is staged. What you see is what you get.

[@dricus7378]

Glad to see that the nursery is doing fine ..

[@champagnewalkersequinemass3568]

[@ludwigcodjambassis8866]

Hello from southern Chile, Patagonia I've been learning from you for four years, and really thankfull of your work My climate in southern chili is a little alike yours, very rainy, not too cold actually we only have a couple frost mornings of frost in winter.. But not enough sun time in summer for many fruit plants, but now I see your quince ( Ive seen one of your trees outside) I remember I've made quince plants from seeds the last two years. They grow fast and they are incredibly flexible for figur a like the itoigagua junipers.. I don't know if all the varieties do the same. My best fruit tree for bonsai so far, is plums, but in the south of chile we can grow apples , pears, cherries and many bush fruits and berries

[@jamesa7506]

A very good video, Mr. Chan, with techniques and advice that's applicable to all sorts of trees. Thank you! 👍✝️🇺🇲

Could you do a video on the "Rock Plantings" like the one shown @58:25 I've never heard of them before and I'm very interested to hear more about them. 👍👍

[@57merrill]

I just finished watching-I broke it up into a few sessions as there was a lot of information to learn. Thank you for sharing it. I loved all of it but especially the words of wisdom at near the end of video. I like to keep learning too.

Peter thank you for making this wonderful video. As always I learned a lot from you and you made my day.

[@jitkadevaux3958]

Great explanation, interesting as usual! Thanks

[@krycke]

Great info as usual! Could you do an indoor pot video? As it is hard to use pots with drainage holes indoor without a plate.

[@peterchan3100]

All pots should have drainage holes - even for indoor bonsai. Use a drip tray under the pot for indoor bonsai.

[@jam884]

Hello Peter, always enjoying ur videos, n applying the knowledge gained, thank you n keep it coming

[@paulformaioni37]

love your videos, been watching for yonks, wow what a selection of pots

[@shivangnisharma9448]

Mentally exercised with you while choosing the pots, almost same choice as yours, seem to have imbibed knowledge with regular watching 😊 I have bought onion/ garlic bags for being used as mesh. I’m not poor but no point wasting money when cheaper alternatives are available.

[@observistar]

Thank you, I enjoyed this video

[@diveactive]

Wonderful this has been so useful, but I’m in April now. I wish I had a potted some of my plants but like you I get lazy and too much work elsewhere part of prepare for next year.

[@just_bright]

Just found out during this video that I am a Bonsai man thru and thru. I just never knew. ....But now what do I do? I think Ill tie a rope around me and find a tedious summit on which I hope to find a worthy sprout that reminds me of my own nature. This is what I have been searching for.

[@williemills2657]

I love the pot that you can drop and it not break.😂 but I have been making the cement pots like Master Peter showed for my Rocky Mountain Juniper so i just have to be careful 🤠

[@jellejacobs]

I really struggle with repotting. Im always scared i cut to many roots off. I would like to see more repotting videos.

[@brandonyoung-kemkes1128]

I always here not to propagate cuttings from anything larger than a matchstick. But I’m happy to report if you have a cutting that’s a bigger size and are unsure of the species and how it would react no harm in trying. I was able to get a pencil sized cutting to root (from a more tropical variety I’ll add) in controlled conditions within a green space. So it’s not impossible it just isn’t going to happen on its own. It needs help. I’m going to do some more experimentation myself. If I learn anything I’ll share. My next step is to make it more scientific by repeating the experiment multiple times.

[@MakeMoreBonsai]

I love all your videos! This one is awesome and a real behind the scenes look!

[@denhardy7238]

I always enjoyed going to Peter chans but since my heart attack I can’t get out anymore always watch videos always informative 😎Dennis

[@marinabryssinck6834]

🎉thank you for al your information about the many diferant bonsai pots 👍🌳

[@bobsandone3108]

Referring to the first Juniper that you repotted, how often do you water, and how much ?

[@peterchan3100]

Depends on the time of year, but just make sure the soil is never bone dry or rock solid.

[@T-DsGaming]

What soil composition would you recommend for a climate that gets 35C- 40C in the summer with wet and dry spells and -10- -12C in the winter that can be very wet. Trying to find information on bonsai soil for my area seems to be difficult. Need soil for maples, pines, juniper, and trees like black walnut and peach.Thanks for any info on this.

[@peterchan3100]

The mix that we use would probably be OK in your climate - just keep an eye on the watering - especially in winter for pines and junipers. Keep them moist but not too wet or too dry.

[@T-DsGaming]

@@peterchan3100 Ok, thanks for the info.

Why does he work so much soil into substrate? It should be only lava, acadama, pumice and so on. Modern subbstrates have no advantage if you mix them with soil.

Because it’s cheap

Given he's been running this nursery for something crazy like 40 years, I feel like he **may** know what he's doing lmao

Lava, Akadama,Pumice mix is not the best. Listen carefully to what I said in the video. Its not about cost.

[@nickbillionis318]

I have been doing this 36 years and met a lot of professionals. And taught a lot of students. None of them use multi prong rakes on the roots. It does way too much damage. You are just tearing them up. You can hear them ripping the whole time you are working on them. Wow. 😂 Just one of the reasons experienced people avoid your videos or mock them on Facebook. Also, people have been wiring trees to pots ling before the 70s. But the wiring you did looks like it's your first time. Never girdle the trunk like that. You are doing more damage than good at this point. Please stop posting videos.
