I love how excited Peter gets with successful air layerings! :)

[@ChannelniKuya_AUSTRALIA]

After all bonsai is all about patience..thats the wisdom coming from the master..always wonderful thoughts to ponder. cheers!

[@mattbrennan647]

Give Josh a raise :-) Fantastic success rate. Thanks, keep growing

[@brennanconner4711]

I just want to say thank you Mr. Chan for helping me find a new hobby. I've watched more hours of these than I care to admit and I'm really looking to getting started even though its late in the season :)

[@VinnyChirayil]

Peter, you are truly the world champion of air-layering ! I have not seen anyone else in bonsai or agriculture ever do so many air-layerings and that too across multiple species ! I have added this video also to my playlist "Air layering = Instant trees"

[@avalancheadenium]

i love to see the root system for a while that the reason i always took a many pics and videos for watch them later more and more ... also i did it too many successful air layers this year on my bougaivillea and hibiscus family and brugmansia collection with your nice and easy method .... already i have many mature plants more than 50 that i made it this year .. no room for walking in my garden ... i wanna say thank you again Mr.peter chan .... thank you for every things that you teach us for free ... your KZbin channel is like a great university with tons of deep knowledge that every body can get it

[@tigingrasta953]

Mr Peter chan sir you truly are the masters And you so humble too Thanks you all at Herron bonsai

[@Eva_Marie_Moon]

Honestly I love seeing the trees and the gardening, but the best part about all of this is how excited Peter is 😄

[@Eva_Marie_Moon]

What a great lesson on patience at the end there. Good one Peter!

[@robbybobby6483]

I like seeing you so happy Peter. Airlaying maples, what's not to be happy about. Great success rate.

[@manicdistraction]

I love Peter's soothing, calm voice. I finally found another voice that sounds like his; it's a Canadian documentary called "Broke" they sound like brothers!

[@nickchap]

Before I research, what's the subject with broke? Pete's in possession of a lovely voice, calming and informative sometimes ego but its all good

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you - that's nice to know because I dont like the sound of my own voice.

[@katman734]

I love when people are enthusiastic about something that most people wouldn't give a second look.

[@Chickentendaz]

Thank you Peter, Thank you Josh!

[@gracepeterson7483]

Patience. I'm still waiting on my air-layerings. Your last illustration gave me hope. I will wait. Thank you.

[@MrChausner]

Always such great videos

[@johnhierons1691]

Thank you Peter for another lovely video. Absolutely, a revelation, seeing all those air layerings. I expect everyone watching this wishes that we could be as expert, I am,just amazing!

[@svaughn1822]

Thanks so much for the tips and tricks, I have four new maples now using your methods! Success!

[@racekar80]

Just started watching, Peter is a wonderful teacher and I find it very interesting.

[@ChrisPuch]

The great master peter. I love it.

[@chadwittman6292]

This man is a true gem

[@marcconles6811]

Peter you are really a fine and inspiring person.

[@PatriciaAnnGriggs]

That was very exciting to see all those air layering take So crazy to see all of the roots grown from moss. Thank you for showing us this video. And you are never boring. ☺☺☺☺💓💓💓💓

[@cyndy338]

What an exciting video! Roots everywhere we look! Absolutely love this video, thanks Peter! 👏👏

[@lefthandluke8923]

This is a wonderful video which you should watch all the way through, but I will say that you'll get an amazing level of wisdom from the last 2-3 minutes (provided you watch everything up to that point), more than a hundred other videos might provide. Thank you, Peter and Josh.

[@porkoholic]

I too successfully air layered my first trident maple 2 weeks back here in india after watching all your videos

[@giulianolovato5859]

Mr. Chen your enthusiasm is contagious and it is always a pleasure to see your videos, I have propagated my trident maple that you gave me advice repotting over video call and I think I have around 50 new plants (the size of a match) and I can say the the inspiration you have gifted me over this 17 months of pandemic is priceless Giuliano from Verona

[@minosegdelwonk7851]

I love the excitement in this video! Thank you for sharing!

[@andoionutdan9670]

i love what you do Peter!

[@abydosianchulac2]

I don't know if Peter would check the comments for a video this old, but could someone explain why the relatively root-bound moss ball is planted straight into soil? Why would one not want to loosen the roots up a bit first?

[@PrairieDancerRose]

Thank-you, Peter, for another very interesting, informative video! Please, keep them coming!

[@angie3504]

Love seeing the progress 🤩

[@elainefleischmann4175]

Amazinly informative! ... as always. Thank you so much for this wonderfully learning packed video.

Great video on air layering Peter... i didnt realise you could re use spagnum moss again on another tree.. awesome!

[@kiwibonsai2355]

Spring here in NZ,, love this time of year as my Maples burst into leaf.

[@kliether33]

Excellent video! Thanks for fixing the audio. Sounds much better.

[@peterchan3100]

I stopped using the external mike altogether.

[@michaelhenderson643]

Mr Chan, the winters coming- you should buy a thick jacket with hawaiin patterns on it. If that exists.

[@peterchan3100]

I will have to visit the charity shop soon.

[@simontonsornchristiansen1588]

Always a pleasure. Thank you for sharing all your tricks and wisedom. Made airlaying this year with your guide and technic and it was succesful. 😁👍🏼

[@bethsmith9411]

Thank you for sharing all these knowledge. I love your channel.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Nice root systems and marvelous trunks on the air layering tree branches.

[@bobunderwater5320]

Infectiously enthusiastic :)

[@peterbathum2775]

like a kid in a candy store, your joy is palpable. thanks as always, for sharing these skills with us. I am harvesting 4 in the wild and purchased 2 small firs to form 6 this fall in hypertufa pots Ive made, trying air layering next spring and summer ... looking forward to this joy when harvesting the air layered trunks.

[@MidniteSan]

Whoaa...what a fun day 😘Sphagnum Moss equals to fast growing healthy roots indeed. Well done Peter 👍, and thx for sharing, until next one, cheers. 🙏

I love watching your videos Peter. I could listen to you all day long. You are very inspiring and I have learned a lot from you. We are planning to visit in the summer🥰

[@yoopermann7942]

PETER and CREW,, good morning! thank you for the tips i love air--layering because you always get a instant tree and not have that long wait to get the same size tree

[@philippschminke3757]

Thank you so much for the video! I would love to see the next step, i. e. how to deal with the roots that now grow in the deep flower-pots to make them bonsai-worthy

[@mchlbk]

Well done Josh.

[@saskiabakker2077]

word hier helemaal blij van :)

[@SoaPinCH]

Dear Mr. Chan and Dear Staff, could you maybe show an update on the airlayering on that last huge maple? It was first shown in late 2020 in the maple series, I believe it was part IV, and I am still so curious to see if it was a success and how the bonsai turned out. Wishing you all the best! Dominique

[@rustysgarden5011]

When your videos pop up, i always look for it

[@almac2598]

Thanks for the video Peter. I have a small (35/40 cm) Antarctic Beech Bonsai. There seems to be very little information on these as bonsai, so it would be much appreciated if you could show the follow up work on these when appropriate. Thanks again.

[@GezSun]

Peter, merhaba. Türkiyeden yazıyorum. Çok başarılı sunum yapıyorsun, tebrikler.

[@keaneu4456]

Nice air-layering harvest. Will love to see the twin trunk tree at the end of your video coming spring to see the roots it will produce. I wonder if adding some more moss will help. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@Seafariireland]

Wonderful propagation!

You make it look easy. Thanks for sharing and giving some great ideas and insight into bonsai. Awesome Peter 👍TrickyTrev 🇦🇺👍🐝🍯🌲

[@paleprod]

Ordinary soil and spaghnum is a strange mix but it's also interesting at the same time haha, thank you for sharing this method Peter!

[@Robert_McGarry_Poems]

The moss gives the roots a place to make fine feeder roots. There is a lot of surface area in the moss. The hairy section of the roots is where water and nutrients are absorbed, at least 80%. The feeder roots are small and hair like. They do not grow with as much force as seeker roots, the longest medium thick roots, which can be cut off. You can regenerate a tree quickly by letting it get fine feeder roots, and then understanding how to feed the tree what it needs. After it gets healthy, it needs to be anchored better, hence the slightly compacted soil. That space isn't for feeding, the space in the moss with the fine roots, will still do that just fine.

[@paleprod]

@@Robert_McGarry_Poems Well, that's a great theory but I think that in wet climates such mix would hold too much moisture and in conseqence kill roots. I personally mix pumice and spaghnum to make sure that roots are doing fine. (edit: Peter used something much better than just ordinary soil :D)

[@Blaydrnnnr]

I have a Trident Maple, that I am still trying to figure out what to do with, BUT....I had chopped the top of one of the trunks, ( it has three trunks, that separate after about 3 inches of a single trunk ) The chopped top was about 1/2" in diameter, with many small branches that was a sort of an apex on that particular trunk, and I used some hormone, cut almost all the small branches back, and planted it in a small seedling pot with some regular compost just to see if it would strike, and it has filled the small pot with roots, and has dozens and dozens of leaves. I have already moved it to a slightly larger, deeper pot, and its growing at a feverish pace. I would never had thought that Tridents were difficult. Perhaps air layering is more difficult, but my cuttings seem to be much more easy to get started. This is in fact, one of three I've gotten to shoot leaves just from small branch cuttings...That little Trident top that is absolutely gorgeous with all its little leaves is indeed, very exciting for me...

[@dshe8637]

Sounds wonderful

[@markwoodard4012]

I used a small nursery pot and bonsai soil to airlayer my trident and it worked well

[@dvdsmlprstylr]

Absolutely love all your videos, Peter. Just one question though, and open to anyone else too... If cuttings work, then why does air layering exist? Thanks

[@MonzGary]

Just found this great video. What is the advantage of putting the cutting into a pot with only water and moss rather than putting it directly into dirt?

[@krisschmitz2167]

Thank you for all of your videos. I'm just getting started. My question is after you air layer and then after the roots grow and you transfer into a flower pot, when do you put it into a bonsai pot?

[@rsa420]

Wow its amazing how much and how fast those roots grew

[@MikeyDunn]

Next time I try growing a trident I guess I'll be looking for cuttings or layerings, had absolutely terrible luck growing them from seed.

[@plantqueen9740]

Ik this is months ago, but I have been watching so many of your videos since you're so far the only youtuber that has so much knowledge about bonsai. 😊 can you demonstrate a small bonsai with ivy?? English ivy or something of the sort??

[@MauricioVarelaE]

I also will wait untl the following spring :/

[@Max.Neomax]

Dear Peter, I eventually found that Hippophae (sea buckthorn) tends to air layering. This observation I did after removing the wide rubber stip from a branch. Although I didn’t make the bark cuttings I found a lot of small roots which grew in wet media under rubber strip. Sea buckthorn is the tree naturally growing in UK, having small leaves an interesting bark. I wonder if you have sea buckthorn’s in your nursery. Otherwise it may be an interesting idea to introduce this species to your collection. They have male and female flowers on different trees which is point relevant for fruiting.

[@DozeyDragoN]

I love everything about this theme! Can someone say me what kind of moss Peter take for the airlayering: fresh moss so peat moss? My Garden ist full of fresh moss … Best Regards, Jan

[@hamr58]

Thanks, I read one of your books from a public library in 2013. I have air layered Ficus benjamina, and Schefflera at 1-inch diameter branches. Getting restless and have spent the best part of 12 months contemplating taking a branch 14 inches by 10 inches from the Ficus. This video makes it sound like seasons are important, we are almost through the cold nights here, can you give any other tips?
