Repotting My "Vietnam Style" Ginseng Ficus, The Bonsai Zone, Oct 2024

[@iBEEMproject]

The best tropical bonsai channel

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks so much, I sure enjoy growing tropical trees!!

[@rjohnson6846]

Your channel is the only channel I’ve watched since its inception . I always learn from your channel.

And to think he is in Canada.. absolutely amazing

@@TheBonsaiZone I noticed the passion for them, if you ever need anything from Brazil or South America let me know! I have started my bonsai adventure with some bougainvillea that i plan to cluster pant and my second project is creeping fig cuttings by bunching and twisting and hope they grow together. I also have an Australian Umbrella tree growing on my yard that's about 10 meters tall. So i took a cutting from that to get myself an air root bonsai eventually.

[@BonsaiBlacksmith]

Its a beautiful Ficus Nigel, many years paid off. Also love your helper inspecting the Bonsai garden.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

[@t3dwards13]

[@zimartiste1]

Hi Nigel, very nice idea to dig the roots of the gingseng's part....Thank you very much, i will try...

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Temple is cool!

[@artfx9]

The bonsai police are coming for you! You are criminally good! 😃

[@dahlmasen3084]

They’re coming to tell the cat to stop walking on the bonsai pots😂

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Excellent repotting of this VSGF!!!

[@Steves_Backyard_Bonsai]

I love watching the decision making in action. Great!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I'm not sure I'd call it action Steve, lol!!!

[@BonsaiJCan]

Hello Nigel ! The Ginseng Ficus is looking really good, very interesting repot. I can't beleive its already been 6 years ! I remember that cool old turret table you worked on.

[@hassimgora]

Really beautiful.❤

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thank you! 😊

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

I see your bobcat in the background checking out the situation. A real cool cat!

[@chrismarshall8321]

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks Chris, slowly but surely I hope!!

[@trybonsai]

Really extensive work...great video Nigel 🎉🎉🎉

[@FrostBiteBonsai]

It sure has come a long way hasn't it!

[@redzepplin7397]

Nice work! very educational!

[@samyjegam8236]

So much interested fantastic

[@leviaseb4171]

Amazing tree !! I discovered your channel last year and it totally made me want to start doing bonsai ! Since then, I've done quite a lot of seedlings of more or less known trees (sometimes totally unknown). My first tropical seedlings are 5 Princess Earrings trees, that are doing really good for the moment (first big cut in the next Spring).

[@patriciahartnett4776]

Nigel I think you need to purchase new cutting tools or files to sharpen them. One thing I have learned no matter if it’s cooking or bonsai you’re only as good as your tools. I love your channel.

[@blusukanbonsai]

Cool sharing Bro ❤❤ nice

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks ✌️

[@dahlmasen3084]

When would you say the best time for hard pruning and repotting is for ficus and other tropicals that’s growing indoors year around? Thank you for all your videos!🤩

[@SPEAKERDWELLER03]

Hi Nigel, my temple-style root over rock would look great in that Vietnam-style pot. Do you sell them? Thx.

[@bonsai_life_style]

I totally forget that old Nigel ,Twilight Zone music in video's 😄

[@smokereapergaming3861]

Nigel, can I ground layer and hard cutback at the sometime? Because my tree looks very ugly..

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It's better to keep lots of foliage to help generate new roots. If it's mid summer and it's warm and humid, you can do almost anything to a Ficus and it will recover easily!!

[@smokereapergaming3861]

@TheBonsaiZone thanks buddy

[@frankpagan1294]

Hello Nigel great video like always. Does the Turface that you use decompose after some time? Reason I’m asking is when you repot it looks like regular soil. I’ve been thinking of using your mix with Turface, perlite and pine bark. I just want to know what to expect. Thanks

[@brucedeacon28]

👍👌👌

[@Minstera]

It looks like you are reparing a old computer The underside of the pot with the roots, is the harddisc The other part looks like a printed circuit board 10:00

[@peacecosmonaut176]

It always feels good after removing ugly roots =)

[@kevinklosterman2783]

What about this tree makes it Vietnam Style? This is a type of styling I am not familiar with. Thanks!

[@bonsaiandskate]

Nice with 1000 liters of water in your Nissan cube

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Lol, I hope not!! My wife sometimes doesn't understand what I'm talking about, when I talk of the cube. She always thinks car!

[@bonsaiandskate]

Haha yeah it took me a second to get it 😂

[@bonsaiandskate]

Great video and I like this little tree

[@jakeyp6661]

Where can I get this pot or the file to print it please

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Root surgery in the Zone, The Bonsai Zone, with Master Surgeon, Dr. Nigel Saunders. Students, bring pencil and paper to take notes. Apples are appreciated for the good doctor.

2 repots for the price of 1 😂

Foist

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Noice one Scott!!!

[@WanderingBobAK]

It amazes me that after ALL THIS time, you still don't get basic camera angles. Your hand is 80 per cent in the way. Turn your camera 45 degrees and we can see what you are doing. Otherwise, great info as usual.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Well I always try for 100 percent, so I guess 80 percent isn't too bad. Thanks for the insults.
