Second Repotting on a Ponderosa Pine Bonsai Tree

[@oscarvidalquist]

This video fill the gap!!! Yeah! Thats it! The fundamental piece of knowledge I needed to understand the never bare root and leaving some portion untouched!!!! Yeah! Great! Enjoying it from Spain!!!!

[@Depotmaster]

the probably best repotting video you will find. teaching the things you are never teached.

[@OliverTauch]

I'm enjoying every educational minute as if it was a blockbuster movie. Looking forward to the next session. Your passion is contagious, Ryan. Thank you for making Bonsai great.

[@smokereapergaming3861]

Thank you Ryan I have learned so much from you in the last 6 months it means the world to me, just got in to bonsai the last year or so im from the uk,keep up the great work I wish you and your team all the success in the world maybe one day I'll have the privilege of meeting you.😀 😊

Great instructions and education!

[@Tootnscoot]

A trick I have learned and kind of honed over about 15 years ballpark for the transferring of original soil in yamadori is that the first 2 years I leave it alone. I don't mess with it and the tree sits atop the same bonsai soil it will have later on. Starting the third year I will " core" the soil near the trunk. I take a piece of copper pipe, be it 1/2" or whatever appropriate size and I sharpen one edge. I beat that pipe down into the soil in random intervals taking plugs of root and original soil. I've found you don't really want to go past about 10%. Then your left with a tube shaped hole. Fill that hole with semi packed bonsai soil and water in. Avoid the same areas each year you do it trying to get fresh spots and from what I've experienced the bonsai soil becomes inoculated with the good stuff in the soil and the roots grow into it really fine. It is a slow process but I've had good success from it and the only time I've ever had a tree show signs of stress after is when I did too much so I'd stay at about a 10% change year over year. The trees I started with are all still thriving and in 100% bonsai soil now, some still in the original pots which I'm able to do because in both root trimming and refreshing the soil gradually.

Thank you for such a detailed stream/video! Just the method of chop sticking was an eye opener for me. I've been doing it wrong. A short video on the face and reference point would be helpful, and maybe a good place to purchase. I'm getting ready to repot an old Japanese White pine with craggy bark, and was looking for a video on how to protect the bark while repotting. I'm still looking for a good method to protect the bark on a 2 ft tree. Thank you again Ryan

[@meadowmorph3291]

okay, I'm going to see what level of patreon I can afford. Meanwhile, I'm going to be looking for a pine to add to my "outdoor" collection. I hope some questions will be answered looking into the archives. I live in South Jersey in the Pinelands (Pineys). Lots of wilderness but the Pineland pine is protected. They have finally realized that the Pineland was created in fire. Unless their pine cones are touched by fire, they don't pop open to release their seeds. I can't believe that in the 70s this developer wanted to create an airport twice the size of Newark airport, smack in the middle of the Pinelands. I'm so thankful for the foresighted individuals who came together and fought it. Once a year they offer different Pineland unique plants and trees and bushes to add to our landscaping. I'll be seeing if they are offering them this year, though summer was near-drought conditions. A Pineland pine would be perfect for a literati style tree. If they don't have their annual sale this year, I'll be able to petition the committee to yamadori a small tree. I do believe the permission granted would last a year. Anyway, if this doesn't work out, I can look at different nurseries to find a specimen worthy of bonsai (and usually,m nothing else). I'd like to go for under $50, but with the prices lately I'll have to up tha to $75. As this is my first pine, what should I be looking for?

[@MostlyCensored]

Lichen is also a producer of nitrates, it isn’t just pretty. That, and the moss splitting grow media creates a very contained ecosystem with the tree.

[@rokimbonsai8112]

Luar biasa bagus bonsai cemaranya

[@JoaoSantos-rs3my]

Very educational and inspiring. May I ask, by the look of the rootball, there is a lot of organic matter, and not having added organic material in the new soil, do you apply the fertilizer cakes or granules directly in the soil and let it decompose? Thank you

[@PeterLamRealtorofyourchoice]

I’ve a question. After you completed repotting how often to watering the bonsai

[@kiljaypc]

Hi please can you tell me the name of that tool you used to remove your bonsai out of its pot … comer or something not sure? I couldn’t find it anywhere..

[@meadowmorph3291]

NOTE TO SELF: start taking photos of my mature tree [an annual photo, before/after root work as well as before and after removal from pot, et al], This is what I would have liked to see in this live stream. I'd have liked to seen it to compare and recognize what I'm seeing. Also, concerning a major company's premixed substrates include 1/8 to 1/16 inch composted pine pieces. It actually drives me nuts because it floats. For my tropicals, in winter I dunk the smaller trees (pots). It that amendment undesirable. I guess I'll use these blends for young trees. I'll go back to mixing my own substrate. Tiny Roots has good reviews and I was hoping to save some time. but even their inorganic mix has these particles. as far as I know, bark is an organic. Oh well, live and learn.

[@samyoel5384]

[@rollmop99]

You can sharpen a serrated edge, although you might not want to.

[@ho2cultcha]

do you ever use water to wash the roots? or a gentle jet stream for removing the field soil?

[@platedlizard]

Im wondering if anyone has used the Willamette Valley variety of ponderosa? Unlike other ponderosas they’re tolerant of water, the Willamette Valley is pretty wet.

[@latetotheparty4785]

Are you saying manipulating this tree keeps the needles short? I can walk across the street and dig up a Ponderosa sapling, but the needles are already long.

[@Moicc]

All that youre using is a mix of akadama, pumice and lava rock? About equal parts? And why isnt the rootball completly cleaned so u can put fresh soilmix under there? Why is it better to keep the organic soil around the rootball? Thanks anyone

[@sangyenamdrol9392]

Why don,t you hit the root ball with a rubber mallet around ad around to get the dirt to loosen so it’s easier to rake the eart out,.

[@CharlieForeign]

So I keep finding conflicting information on when you’re able to remove branches and wire pines. Some say do it mis summer, others when the tree is dormant. Can anyone clarify when these things can be done for dwarf mugo pines?

[@alessandromassimo5717]

The thing is that you can do both, I had success with summer wire because somehow stimulated a lot of backbuds where I did the biggest bends. I also had success with winter one so I’d say that if the tree is vigorous you can do both

In my opinion, the pot is too small and should extend more to the left to give visual stability to the tree. A slightly shallower oval pot with the tree planted off center would look better.

Use gleaning vinegar 10% acidity. Wipe let sit over and over or soak pot in cleaning vinegar 5%will work just slower

[@jldc7247]

In Thailand and Indonesia, they don't pull the plant. Instead, they crack and smashed the pot.

[@jac585]

If you had DG mixed in that bonsai soil it would be much easier to report i was running 50 50 organic soil to golden CA DG I could almost just shack the plant after 4 years and soil fall away from perfect root structure shaped like pot. You can run almost pure DG 15% soil to DG they grow good like natural hydro.
