The pots really made the trees top notch. TY for sharing.

[@uniotter2662]

The transformation of all of those trees was amazing. I especially loved seeing how that cascade was created. I got a serene feeling just from gazing at the finished products....so appreciated in these pandemic times. Many thanks, Peter!

[@ChannelniKuya_AUSTRALIA]

Two life lessons followed, dont be too hasty and dont be greedy..applicable to bonsai styling and daily life. Cheers! Thank you Sensei Peter!

[@user-mt2ho4vr9p]

I was much charmed by the semi cascade ficus. How exotic this bonsai is!

[@joshhhuagarcia1890]

Good night Peter. The transformation has been brutal and the kengai was great. Thank you for showing us your gaze so clearly.

[@ingeborg-anne]

That green pot really made me smile. That tree and the semi cascade brought me more joy than I expected 💚

[@aravmishra3139]

So beautifull mam.

[@mrpatchy9950]

Beautiful demonstration all the important points very well explained showing the true perspective as viewed in its true natural surroundings .

[@elizabethnelms2564]

I watch for the bonsai knowledge but get great words of wisdom as a bonus!

[@user-ro7cj4lh6x]

Always a great presentation. Very informative, as well as inspirational. Keep up the great work. Would love to see these trees in their current state.

[@AndyKord73]

Dear Peter I follow your videos about the ficus intensively and they are very helpful and instructive for me. I really like the simplicity in which you can understand each bonsai with the necessary resepect. I love your book and I'll put it on the bookshelf first if necessary for advice. Stay healthy and please continue with your videos as long as you can. Kind regards, Andy

[@NYBraveheart]

Thank you, Mr. Peter! Beautiful work pruning, reshaping, and potting - a Ficus master class! Thank you!

[@johnfloydman7735]

Amazing trees 🙏 the cascade is fantastic ...

[@sagebonsai]

Some day my ficus retusa will become just as beautiful as the trees you work with. I only had it almost a year. Rescued from almost nothing, an awful straight flat cut stump. Since then I've cut it at slant. Let it grow, then too much sun on the horrible side. So I transformed it into a hallowed trunk. Everyday I look at it I can't imagine how how much has changed since day one.

[@kittybyrne4082]

The noise of traffic in the background. matches the doctoring of the trees. Man's stamp on earth.

[@johnexcellent3974]

Awesome & beautiful Ficus bonsai after prune the leaves. Great styles with aerial roots, that's why many people love ficus bonsai

[@Dakodak67]

I think this ficus is my favorite bonsaï since the beginning of your youtube channel. I love ficuses and the trunk of this one is admirable !

[@nancyfahey7518]

For someone that doesn't like bonsai you sure did a great job and you're happy about it.

[@peterchan3100]

You mean Ficus ? But I love bonsai.

[@jeanhawken4482]

Peter you inspire people to have a go. Such a lovely gift

[@kavitajhunjhunwala6049]

Great learning. Thank you Peter . Loved the way you did the cascade . Really innovative!!! Thank you 😊

[@danutashayler34]

Beautiful, beautiful finish. Stunning. Peter Chan it is more than not bad. Those babies are worth their weight in Gold.

[@selfmade6142]

All the trees shown are very beautiful. I was particularly impressed by the work on the second bonsai.

[@mchlbk]

Ficuses are not really my thing, but damn they turned out good. Very dramatic and beautiful specimens, what an impressive transformation.

[@phasicsbonsaiworld6902]

Honestly said, you are brilliant at Ficus Bonsai, I would buy them all had I the money lol!

[@kavitasingh6791]

Good evening.When you are taking care of Ficus it help me a lot.Because this is the plant we can grow easily.

[@lg1737]

These videos are so calming ☺️💕

[@plantman5126]

We need to take a second to appreciate the advancement of Herons Bonsai to get decent mics!

I have got a new mic and used it for the first time last Saturday 7 Nov 20. That video won't appear for a while. Big difference you will find in future

[@keaneu4456]

Sure glad you continued with part 2. The 3rd one that you also potted was my favorite although they were all beautiful. Thanks for the ficus bonsai lesson, I really enjoyed it.

[@jamesleadbetter5546]

Great video, thank you. I'm not a big fan of ficuses but this video and the previous one have forced me consider getting one!

Fantastic Peter😊

[@steffenbach3580]

Wonderful 2part videos. Great results, especially that semi cascade. Just beautiful. Thank you, Peter!

Not only the final exposure that is incredible, but the process as well

[@IrishAnonymous01]

You should make sure to add the date filmed to all these videos. I find myself looking back at your videos for what time of the year I should do certain things to certain trees. Often going by the date published but I know you now post videos from earlier in the year.

[@daniellarrivee6510]

Thanks for the show Peter !!!!!!!!!!!!

[@deandowney9316]

I've just prechased a Ficus so this has been really useful. Thanks. reat work a always.

Loved these ficus videos! Very helpful and inspiring,

[@ccme1111]

They are all beautiful! Excellent job! Thank you for sharing.

[@MidniteSan]

If only I could volunteer or work and learn there... that'll be awesome. That last tree got me, beautiful and unique. Bravo Peter, thx for sharing and can't wait for the next one..cheers.

[@peterchan3100]

You are welcome to come here to volunteer. Contact me when the Covid is over.

[@kenjohnson5498]

Peters secret is looking into the future of the tree not necessarily the presence of the tree. He see's the tree 5 years from now.

[@sidtewari5746]

Thanks Sir U explained the process with such a passion Thanks again for all the lessons We are some of those from India who r ur ardent followers

[@nancyfahey7518]

In Florida, sometimes we get down to 20°F. I'll bring mine into our enclosed porch if it's dry. If it is freshly watered or rained on it will come into the house in an unheated room.

[@peterchan3100]

Is the 20F for just a couple of hours? If longer - it might kill them I guess.

[@joegarland4885]

Fantastic work I prefer the semi cascade tree but they as you say are all different.

[@petermatthews7431]

When using wire again if you get two pairs of pliars at each end of the wire and yank then apart sharply it straightens the wire,you may have to do it a couple of times

[@Lachlanrocca]

Appreciate the tip Peter, have a day :)

[@WINTchannel5758]

Good job

Masterly advise thanks for sharing

[@FeARotc]

i would love to see the whole journey of a tree, but i recon this is very difficult to film.. like showing the the seedling, the first shaping, the shape after a year and so on

[@RonMaurer]

I’m in the US so I know these trees can not be shipped here. Still curious just the same... what one of these might sell for? Loved all of them! Especially fond of the semi-cascade! 😻

[@michaelwojcicki3624]

Great eye.

[@barit924]

Another great series of lessons. I’m not a huge fan of the aerial roots- could some if those be removed without harm? Some of them seem to interrupt the graceful lines of the trunks. That cascade was a brilliant transformation!! I love watching all of these- you’re a born teacher, and I love watching you think! Many thanks! Jim

[@peterchan3100]

Thank you Jim. Removing some aerial roots does not harm the tree because they are extremely vigorous

[@Picador1963]

well done!

[@dickmcshan9778]

You never fail to give a fascinating presentation! I have a question concerning the aerial roots on the third tree. Would you cut them off or attempt to straighten them to a more vertical line? Watching one of your videos is like spending an afternoon with a long time friend. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.

[@ajitjena111]

Nice 👍

[@BonsaiCornerSouthSumatera]

Mantap sob

[@mapsri1341]

nice work done on Ficus material. Great! I was wondering whether it is better to get rid of the areal roots in the cascade, in order to enhance the contour of the trunk line.

[@peterchan3100]

Yes

[@berealistic]

masterly

[@alilouali7977]

In which season are you pruning trees in a bag? Thank you

[@kristjanvilajeti8840]

Great video! I have some questions: how long does it take for a shipment of trees to be delivered from Asia; how can the trees survive such a long jurney, and do some of them die? Long story short: how is a bonsai delivery from Asia? Thank you in advance

[@nancyfahey7518]

From asia to where?

[@kristjanvilajeti8840]

In this case UK

[@peterchan3100]

From Japan to UK can take anything from 3 to 6 weeks depending on whether it is non stop or stopping along the way. Same applies to China, Korea etc

[@maryperrysmith5815]

Wish you would talk about the soil

[@BonsaiFamily]

good...

[@Merlin-wo1kj]

Anyone know what soil blend he uses for the Ficus?
