Thai Adenium Bonsai (Part II) Next Step - The Bonsai Supply

[@sethw.petersen5038]

Love the adenium. So much so I got my own to turn into a bonsai. More importantly though, I love your explanation of what you are doing and why (crossing branches, where to cut, shading out of branches, etcetera). This video is informative and gives me the confidence to tackle my own adenium. Love your patient and thorough explanation. Quality content, as usual.

[@DylanLukeLosasso]

i love and appreciate these videos! beautiful old adenium!

[@JudithSchaier]

As a longtime bonsai enthusiast I now find myself restricted to the porch and home environment. The addendum find living my life style in the home perfect as I can set it on my deck in the summer and bring them in the house in the fall. It gives me the opportunity to continue working bonsai technique into adenium design.

[@terryklemesrud758]

Wow!! Yes, I almost had a heart attack when you started the ramification process!!! But I now know why you do it!!! I can hardly wait to see the next step!!! Thanks Jerome!!!

[@danielcluley870]

Just discovered your videos and they are very informative. You have some beautiful plants. I am generally not a big fan of the radial root/spread style of adenium, but the trunk and canopy on that tree are gorgeous.

[@DjhulianBRuy]

What a such amazing tree!

Could you explain the word Ramifications when you use it with the trees? Show examples? Thank you.

[@toybuddha5139]

When you cut a branch back, and it then grows three smaller branches from where you cut it. Ramification is making the canopy denser with a more compact branch structure.

[@rbadilloart8496]

Where in Thailand do you order your trees? They are stunning. Thank you for your knowledge and time🙂

[@massimomandarino6341]

I have a question.....When is the best time for me to hard prune my desert rose? Keep in mind that I live in Canada...so I have now brought my plants indoors because it going below 15 degrees at night and our winters are harsh...thank you

[@ekspatvos6264]

I really enjoy your videos, and the way you present them. Thank you for sharing them, as well as your knowledge and experience. Btw, I counted one thousand and SEVEN leaves at the start (you missed two) 😜

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Ekspat Vos hey Ekspat Vod! You are absolutely right, I miss counted ha ha

[@kristienepichlmaier2362]

Yours really amazing. I’ve got one at home, my family repotted it and it just grew bigger in the roots but with few stems/branches. I would like to know how to fix it as mine have long stems/branches. It looks totally different. I only notice it was the same type of plant when you zoomed towards the flower. I would like to try to fix it. Any advice? Thanks.

[@jellyg.8961]

Cut the stems and branches, leaving the ones closer to the caudex (trunk) without cutting them too much.

[@NormaCarvalhoCACTUSESUCULENTAS]

[@shannoncowans2855]

Did u buy it in the end? Would love to know where to source this plant myself from Thailand if possible. Or but this one of u can send to Australia

[@Southfloridadistillers]

We are The Bonsai Supply how can we order ones from Thailand like this?

[@leeb2604]

The root structure/caudex: are these multiple, grafted roots (at a very young age and grown on) or was it an extraordinary single plant? And how old is that one? I’m trying to figure out if I will live long enough to see any meaningful progress if I try something like this 🙂

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Lee! It is a single Plant, the roots were not grafted. It is an interesting process on how to accomplish a root system like that. I will make a video about it:)

[@leeb2604]

We are The Bonsai Supply : Thank you. I’d appreciate seeing such a video. And a single plant? WOW. Thought for sure they were grafted as babies

[@danielcluley870]

It is a single plant grown from seed with a "caudex cut" and probably an obstruction in the middle. This is a style of growing they do a lot in Thailand and they make a sterile cut of the main root structure, treat it with mold inhibitor, and then let it dry out, and put a rock or a plastic plate in the center below the cut. That makes the new roots grow out radially from the trunk at the bottom of the cut. It is a process that takes time and maintaining to make it look this good.

[@danielcluley870]

This particular variety of adenium is also prized for its thick caudex from seed that branches well (and the flowers). Not my preferred style, but beautiful when well done.

[@davidsauma2574]

Hi Jerome you dont need to cover all those cuts you made with the limestone paste? to avoid future water / rain from creating rot thanks

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey David, you can leave the cuts open and exposed if you are not going to water for another week. Also if you let the desert rose dry out enough before you make the cut you don't have to worry about air exposure.

[@davidsauma2574]

We are The Bonsai Supply thank you

[@sonasood1752]

Need to buy your Bonsai .Do you sell online.let us know the price in Indian rupees.. please reply fast

[@X_Springer]

How long till the nub is cut flush with the base?

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Hey Xavier! A couple weeks maybe. As soon as the nub is completely dried off.

[@batmanfromgothamcity8428]

To me it looked amazing before you cut it I know it will grow but it was beautiful before too

[@timmcintosh2283]

Great video.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Thank you Tim!

[@philiptavella1856]

I cannot believe what I just saw you do. I thought you could not do anything to the adenium plant until it was dormant is this true? After all the cutting will the tree get root rot? Do live in a warm climate all the time if not how do you get the plant to dry out? You are great and thank you for sharing your expertise!

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Philip Tavella hey Phillip! You can do anything to an Adenium at anytime during the year. Make sure that if you defoliate or trim that you don’t water a couple days before and after. I have never experienced any branch or root rot with this technique. Also, if you wait all year, you can loose your ramification because certain branches will grow too heavy. Hope this helps.

[@philiptavella1856]

Ya I get the point but I guess i'm chicken to try out these techniques, since I only have one plant. I've had it for three years now and it is doing very well, with no problems. Thanks for the tips.

[@peggymahan1142]

I am new to bonsai, could you please explain what you mean by ramification.

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Peggy Mahan hey Peggy! In Bonsai, ramification is the repeated division of branches into secondary branches by means of pruning

[@kontenseru-seruan4390]

What next video

[@thepaperstaggering]

nice music!

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

Music Too Loud, love the rest, but please why have the music blast us away when we are trying to listen to you, it takes attention

[@petermeter8697]

you know that the sap is poisonous? :o you shouldn't touch it i guess

[@WeareTheBonsaiSupply]

Владислава Суханова to my knowledge there are only two poisonous adeniums, the mulitflora and the carribeana

[@captainsparrow8524]

The internodal gap is too much. You are giving him too much fertilizer. Nitrogen should be limited. It will grow faster leaves.

[@shoulders-of-giants]

looks like Yggdrasil

[@petermeter8697]

wow?

[@OceanLife772]

That was painful to watch…..It looked so pretty and full (to me). Painful…. LOL
