Would you please publish a quick update of this root over rock project ? I think after 2 years, this must have evolved quite interestingly.

"Looks a little more GNARLY.." KILLED ME JEROME XD GOOD WORK!

[@mattbrennan647]

Great instructional video. Thanks Jerome. As much as I enjoy watching you work on your more established trees it’s really helpful to view videos like this. Thanks

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Matt, thank you! Im glad you enjoyed this video.

[@TheBoppa23]

I'm learning so much! Thank you

[@stevetheis5352]

Love this. Never tried root over rock, but come spring here in the UK it is definite project for me to attempt if I can find the right rock.

[@456fly]

Thank you. This was a cool presentation .

[@luisgilaytona5535]

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Stepan for enjoying them and your feedback!

[@michaelhoward487]

Thanks for another great instructional video. Love the "blown-over" position for its dramatic effect. As a bonsai "newbie" . You give me courage to grow my abilities.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Michael for your kind words! The only way to learn is to try :)

[@frankieclayton9303]

i like that yall didnt edit out the thinking phase. thats an important step to making sure you are confident in what you want. also i agree its better to have it look like it got knocked down in a storm.

[@jennifersalatamos2994]

Go for it! :)

[@jerome8626]

Very nice

[@shedmanx3640]

Great instructional video mate. Here in Australia we can get away with doing it in any season, depending where you live. I have a small forest of Ficus Figs that I inadvertently obtained by sticking in branches of the Ficus Fig in a pot whilst pruning. I may try this on them.

[@DIGITWINS]

Intresting job....

[@toddstropicals]

That's so true, here in Florida it's hit or miss with good rocks. If you find them it's best to snag them, I have a rock yard walking distance from me thankfully. I'd like to try ROR with some of my desert trees (bursera, Boswellia, commiphora).

[@thomasnieman7086]

Good ol Michigan does not have this problem lol

[@danachannel2404]

Woww nice

[@kalandrakasartbonsai5400]

Great workshop you got there friend..

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you! Cheers!

good video, my friend!

[@pablopenella]

I'd love to see more videos on other types of trees using this technique. Could it be used on a Cyprus Hinoki? I have a small one, about a year old; how many years should I wait to apply this technique if I could do so?

[@leonyligaya6377]

Very nice...

Thanks. Great video, well presented. 👌✨👍

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Glad you liked it!

[@walley2637]

I do the same with bonsai where i have to picture a "story" in my mind of how it would have grown like that in full scale in the wild. it's more artistic than following strict bonsai style techniques

[@victorious407]

[@desertroseJAXX]

Hi Jerome. I love this video and can’t wait to try it with one of my Adeniums. Should I wait until Spring?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

geri jackson Hey Geri, thank you so much for your kind words. Yes I would wait till late spring when it starts to get hot 🥵

[@mapsri1341]

Beautiful arrangement of the tree on the rock and the pot. Well balanced picture. Great! Will you at some stage think of shortening the tree by removing the top part?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey, thank you for your kind words! Yes I will shorten the tree once the roots have attached to the rock! For now I will let the tree grow pretty freely

[@rockymumbai4813]

got good information brother.You're welcome dear I am from India....

[@mrv1271]

I bought a bonsai that apparently is ready to be planted on a rock. It’s got some type of cloth on it right now. I hope it works. Much appreciated

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

That sounds like burlap which can be used to do root over rock. Make sure you don't remove it too early.

[@mrv1271]

We are The Bonsai Supply Ok, thanks for your great work.

[@garyarcher4933]

I've never Bonsai'ed before. (is that a word?) But, I certainly learned by watching the process. GREAT explanation along the way and loved how you considered the story line of a possible storm blowing the tree against the rock! It was a dark stormy night...... BRAVO!!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thanks for watching!

[@RAPIDOTVPH]

Nice

[@JJSoileau]

I find use saran wrap works great to not only hold the tree to the rock, but also to hold the moisture in the soil.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Jaclyn Soileau that’s a good method, you can also burry the rock.

[@HAJUBONSAI]

very good,,,,,,,,,

[@Mariah1st]

Could you share an update when the try is approx 1 year in training? Great tree btw!

[@Jadepapa]

Like now :)

[@shriyanthihandugala1237]

Wow buddy ...amazing !🇱🇰

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thanks! 😃

[@bastiv7806]

I usually plant the tree and the rock into a deep container and expose the root gradually. So I am curiously looking for updates on this one. Thanks!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Basti, I like to do the same especially on trees that don't attach to the rock easy like a buttonwood for instance!

[@sahabatbonsai8864]

greetings one hobby (bonsai lovers) from Indonesian 🙏🙏

[@Mbxoom]

Nice job 👍. Can you make a video about which trees are best for bonsai cultivation with pros and cons and tricks.

[@marycarbaguio7261]

Wow so nice I like that 🤗😶❤🙌

[@ck8313]

Hi. Love your channel. I have made a root over rock and for last two years the roots have not attached themselves with the rock. They just keep growing around the rock. Can you advise what's wrong? Thanks

[@WarrenWintersUI]

Looking great, can we expect an update on how it’s taken to the rock?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Warren, this composition was sold shortly after the video was released.

[@putusa8669]

[@ManuelMorales-lz9hp]

Great video! I live in Tampa and planning to go and check out your store soon. Love the visit you both did to Canada and Puerto Rico. Special Puerto Rico because I was born there. Retired military and decided to leave here. Curious are you both from Florida? Keep the videos comming. Thanks!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you! We appreciate it. We are originally from Switzerland, and Venezuela actually. We hope to see you around! :)

Hi Jerome, thank you for the great videos, I have a piece of Coral Rock, will this work for root over rock? Do you have any suggestions on prepping the Coral Rock?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

robs guitars hey Rob, Coral will work great! If it isn’t live coral than there is no prep needed

[@ilyasmock8348]

Beautiful work, thanks for sharing! I have had two trees wrapped for a year and they are showing signs of new growth👏🏼 Do you happen to have a video of what you do when you unwrap the tree? Or any pointers? I just want to make sure I’m not missing anything. Thanks! 😊

[@ilyasmock8348]

I should mention, they’ve been wrapped for one year now.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Ilya, I am in the process of making a video of what to do after the roots have been wrapped. Stay tuned 🙂

[@ilyasmock8348]

We are The Bonsai Supply Great! Thanks very much for getting back to me. I’ll keep my eyes open for your video. 👍🏼

[@Dev7D]

Nice Video. Can please make video on how to fertilize Bonsai plant. Thanks

[@PatchyFaun]

just wondering how the tree ends up after romoval of the moss? does it take a year or more before it can grow without the moss? looks great btw

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hi, it depends on specie and climate but the moss was removed about a year after and it was growing well on its own.

[@CSPBonsai]

Bagus sekali

[@LessTalkMoreDelicious]

Are those Spot Spitters in the background? Do Spot-Spitters work with drip-manifolds? (Orbit, Rain Bird, etc.) Or do you need full pressure for a Spot Spitters?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey, yes those are Spot Spitters! You can run them right off the Rain Bird etc. timers. check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZmQinunaZaam9k
