Swamp Cypress Bonsai Care and Repotting Tips

[@joeydupre6153]

I live in South Louisiana, USA and have several bald cypress bonsai. My soil consists of about 80% organics and 20% inorganics. I flood the pots every day. It basically mimics the swamp conditions. The trees LOVE it.

That is for sure thank you for sharing

I bought mine from someone in louisiana i live in ny. Since u work with them alot can i ask u why are they soo hard to get them to biforcate? When is the best time to prune to get the secondary branches to biforcate? Does the secondary branch have to be young or old enough to biforcate? Sorry for all the questions but hard to find someone that knows about them

[@joeydupre6153]

@@Chris-oq6kn there's no set answer. I tend to let the shoots harden off somewhat and prune back to a node where you want a branch to emerge.

[@Chris-oq6kn]

@@joeydupre6153 thanks. I can see the fronzes or foiliage rarely tend to get longer but im assuming it takes alot of time for them to form branches. Thanks for ur ans

Hello Madam bonsai it's winter here End Zone 10A I just got a bald cypress from a nursery chop the top how long can I wait before I start doing any kind of carving there's a knot that's already there that I would like to hollow out

[@MadamBonsai2023]

@@Cryptochinodotsol you can do it now just make sure you seal after any carving done

[@Cryptochinodotsol]

That's crazy...because I was in a bald cypress Facebook group ..and some people were saying they like to leave it raw... so I can get that rugged look... but I agree with you... when I cut the top ...I put cut paste on... I want to start shaving the top... so I can have the right taper for the new leader... can I start shaving now ? ​@@MadamBonsai2023

Superb Work here Madam!!👏🏾 🥰 It should grow well in the Pure Akadama... You'll just maybe haveto repot a bit sooner, as the Akadams is soft(& so breaksdown a bit faster), if my memory is correct.. Great job!!! 👑👧🏻🌲 Be well Madam!!

Hello, Love your videos!!! I have a question. I have a willow leaf fig. I have had it for about 3 months now. It arrived and had lost all of it's leaves from being brought indoors. It is now staying indoors and has grown back all of the leaves. It is quite root bound. Can I repot it now or should I wait until spring?? I will be keeping it indoors under plenty of light. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, the leaves on my swamp cypress are turning brown and falling off, what causes this issue?

[@MadamBonsai2023]

Overwatering Swamp Cypress prefers moist soil, but excessive water can cause roots to rot, leading to brown leaves. Underwatering*: Conversely, drought can also cause brown leaves. Ensure the soil isn't too dry for an extended period. Nutrient deficiency*: Lack of essential nutrients like nitrogen, iron, or magnesium can cause brown leaves. Hard for me to say for not seeing the tree you can email pickup help [e-mail] 1. *Inspect the tree*: Look for signs of pests, diseases, or physical damage. 2. *Check soil moisture*: Ensure the soil isn't too wet or dry. nutrients. 4. *Prune*: Remove any dead or damaged branches to prevent the spread of disease. 5. *Monitor environmental conditions*: Protect the tree from extreme temperatures, wind, or frost.
