A New Gardenia and Solar Fans for the Greenhouse, The Bonsai Zone, Aug 2021

A bit of clean up work on my new Gardenia, then it it's into the high technology for the greenhouse with Solar Powered Fans!
I end the video with updates on some of the bonsai that have been worked on recently.
Thanks to Tom from the KZbin channel "Grow and Clip Bonsai for Seniors"

I love it when you make bonsai out of nursery stock it really teaches that bonsai can be done by anybody

[@margaretsims4344]

The fans are a great idea. The more solar or wind power we use can only be a good thing for our planet.

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Great looking Gardenia. I know you will make a great bonsai tree from it and only $10. Great!!!!!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks Tom, I love the fans!!!

[@izabelalizon1031]

That penjing village grew so much, the roots lifting the sidewalk cracked me up. Everything looks lush and beautiful

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes, there is even a root climbing up the wall of the building. These trees are destructive in miniature, just like the full size ones!

[@tayh3645]

I cant believe it was such a price! it's in perfect health an loaded with flower buds.

[@legendarybeefcurtain9502]

do a temp test before and after installation of the fans in the greenhouse to see, and careful with the misting with the lithops (rock succulents) they really like to be dry as a bone, green house looks absolutely fantastic 👍

[@ig7806]

that suspenseful pause before you showed us the p. afra forest killed me. XD glad to see it lived. and now we get to see just how much pruning a healthy one can take!

[@gedemertabsbchannel9890]

I see beautiful videos you always look interesting

[@jessesnelling257]

That's a killer deal! Would love to have that plant myself!

[@dabblingwithbonsai]

The moss on the city-penjing is so beautiful! Thanks for the updates ❤️

[@urouroniwa]

The poor horse, though! :-)

[@PatriciaOConnorBonsaiBalcony]

That is my favorite smell. We had them along our house as a hedge growing up.

[@nurhasantalukdar6937]

I have a Gardenia in my yard. Never thought of making a bonsai out of it.

[@jballenger9240]

Sounding better mate! Yeah!!!

[@matthewsevignybizzybonsai908]

Hey Nigel sounds like you're feeling better today. I like Gardenia plants but the fragrance makes me sneeze. Thanks Nigel for sharing your knowledge of bonsai you have inspired me over the last couple years.

[@arifmulla563]

Temple lying ideal. .so much effort had gone into it..it would have been marvelous project

[@weineluke7529]

I love your bonsai.

[@ottoman4r]

2 more fans for you Nigel :joy:

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks, lol!

[@jugalkishorekalita9611]

We have two varieties of this flower, but they grow in garden not in pot...... Yours is probably the smaller one, bigger one has more fragrance. Lovely flower

[@MultiZNB]

Beautyful

[@mattbrennan647]

Everything looks fantastic. Love the fans. Great updates. I love your entire collection. Keep growing. Thanks

[@KMFL2010]

Fantastic

[@DavesBonsai]

Nice to see all the updates! Those fans are wonderful. Go solar!

[@marysoldeeley2218]

Ever cool! Like literally! :D

[@sunilusk]

Really amazing fans👏👏👏👌👌👌. They just started running out of the box. 100% justified, solor powered for sure (even in cloudy conditions)👍🤗

[@ashleybonner5423]

The cuttings are looking great, Nigel, can't get over how big and lush the pine tree succulents and the aeoniums have gotten! The aeoniums' parent plant is suffering again, think I either overwatered or underwatered. It didn't help that there were mealy bugs on the base of the trunk and branches either! All looking great on your end though, keep it up! - Ashley Bonner

[@fredgrech1498]

Hi Nigel Gardenia our wonderful plants can’t wait to see what you will do with it . That Tom is a fantastic guy he’s so nice Nigel can show your crown of thorns plant because it looks awesome

[@CGKFPV]

Have you seen when the rock plants split open? It's quite the sight!

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Thanks for the updates Nigel. Everything is looking great. Nice to hear your voice getting closer to normal, so I can tell you are on the mend. Must be the cedar tea. ☕️

[@paulschaefer5241]

Judging by the appearance of the leaves. I would guess that the mystery seeds look like some type of hybiscus.

[@jonnecleef5548]

Just got my hands on a beautifull European olive. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! Nice video again Nigel! Curious to see what you have next time for us. (:

[@mattaustralian6584]

All looking good Nigel. I also have a gardenia , I've given it a trim a few weeks ago and struck a few cuttings from that. I will let it grow now so it can flower hopefully and after that I'll do some styling and see what I get.

[@pie419]

Wow! That solar fan was so cool!!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Cool is the right word!

[@diannaarcher1774]

I love your videos and have been watching for a few years now. I thought at some time you mentioned a P.O.Box that you had so viewers could send you things, but I can't find it... I may have a Dwarf Korean Lilac rooted cutting that I'd like to send you, since you have the other lilac I thought you might like to try your hand at this one too! 😊

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

Cuttings. Cool. Should root nice for you.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks Tom, I was just out in the greenhouse enjoying the breeze from the fans, they are amazing!!! Thanks!

[@ck8313]

Nice to see the jade forest survived

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes, it was a bit tense waiting, but you just have to trust the process. (and keep your fingers crossed)!!!

[@hanibaldj1920]

Gardenias are one of my favorites, I was surprised you didn't have one yet. They are very picky mine always die eventually. I live in Chicago, illinois. Good luck nigel! Nice plant!

[@pawelm5493]

Nigel don't keep your branch cutter in the greenhouse, it will sprout buds.

[@aaryansetia9093]

Beautiful,and enjoyable! Love from Bharat!

[@uhaneokalanijames8029]

gardenia my favorite, and pikake(jasmine)

[@TheBonsaiZone]

After getting one, I can see why, they smell so nice!!!

[@jfrinns]

Nigel, I believe the walnut tree you were given is actually an ash tree

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It is possible, I'll have a look at it!

[@iandownes3130]

Been hunting for a small greenhouse like yours! I hope I can find one

[@ImNotAProfessional]

Just saw the serissa vid Now i really want to buy a serissa 😂👍🏻

[@TheBonsaiZone]

They are great for bonsai and fast to develop!

[@ImNotAProfessional]

I said i might buy one Just went to herons bonsai and got one 😂👍🏻

[@MrKleinM]

I wonder if the mystery seeds might not have been a Mulberry tree? The leafs looks like it might grow those edges to them

[@manguydude287]

My only exposure to gardenia for the longest time was perfumes and candles, not long ago I was able to smell a real gardenia flower and it was lovely. I wonder what went wrong with the fragrance manufacturersI wonder what went wrong with the fragrance manufacturersIs that they have been able to make it smell so horrible

[@sophiaangelini4368]

Gardenia's flower wanted to meet (and perfume) her new Bonsai and Duck friends and enjoy being cool near Tom's stupendous solar fans...

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes Sophia, the lovely perfume the single flower leaves in the bonsai area is amazing!!!

[@Kalana_Herath]

Hello sir, I think your mystery tree is an Achiote plant(Bixa orellana).I'm not exactly sure.If so, they have a very beautiful red fruit and a pink flower.They have some ficus religiosa shaped shiny leaves. Can you show the closeup look of that plant in the next video?🙂🌿

[@TheBonsaiZone]

I will Kalana, thanks!!

[@Kalana_Herath]

@@TheBonsaiZone I planted some Achiote seeds yesterday to better identify those plants. Once the seeds have germinated, see if they look like your plants.

[@dk2614]

PPAF means Plant Patent Applied For... generally means you cannot propagate without permission. Especially for profit without paying royalties.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks Dana, so no selling the cuttings if they root!

[@Liisa3139]

Whew, I thought now you are going to chop the gardenia down - even the one flower it has. Thank God that didn't happen. I remember vaguely that it reads in my old houseplant book that gardenias are difficult to grow. I guess they need a cool season, so that's why they may suffer as houseplants. You really got the gardenia with a good price. It will be interesting to follow that one. I can't believe there are restrictions for selling plants grown from cuttings. I have never heard of such rules before. I understand it from a copyright perspective of course, but who is going to supervise that and how? Maybe there are raids to commercial nurseries? Informers denouncing guerrilla growers? One would think that the plant scene was peaceful, but maybe not anymore. Oh my!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes, that's the first I've heard of this! I'll try and keep the Gardenia in good health and develop a nice canopy. Maybe I'll just work on one small section at a time to keep the plant vigorous.

[@TheGamb23]

20:23 the mystery trees might be catalpa

[@pie419]

What a coincidence, i just got a cuttings just like that tree.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Nice!

[@brucedeacon28]

👍

[@littlefangel9243]

Hi Nigel, good morning.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Hello and good morning too!

[@kazochrymowicz3076]

Gardenia should be repotted after blooming period not before. They do root easily in the water.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks Kaz!!!

[@katana24]

solar panels are more efficeient on cloudy days than in full sun, they generate more energy on a cloudy day rather than in a full sun day.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks katana!

[@victoriabrownfrank4328]

Believe it or not they like coffee grounds

[@brianaelliot]

Nigel, I watched an older video where you had a Black Walnut. Any updates on it? I have a couple of seedlings and was thinking of trying them.

[@RosarioCostanzo]

Hey Nigel, could your mysterious tree be a mulberry?

[@bhargavtank3784]

Nigel seems to have heavy throat ! Cold ?

[@teksmith1296]

I have a gardenia bonsai, but it did not lose any leaves over the winter. I live in Florida and the temperature just gets in the 50s. All the leaves have turned a dull brownish color but the leaves are still tight. Should I defoliate all of them or leave them be. I do have one new green leaf. Please help…

[@mikealmere70]

Wow, that is a giant plant for 10€ congrats!

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Thanks Michiel, I couldn't pass it up and I'm glad I didn't!

[@alicer3423]

Would Frankenficus look good in the old Serissa pot?

[@TheBonsaiZone]

It would, the pot is probably a little shallow, the size is perfect. I would worry that it might loose vigor in such a shallow pot?
