When you move a tree to a shaded or semi-shaded area after repotting, it gets less sunlight. This means the tree’s leaves won’t lose as much water because they aren’t actively photosynthesizing as much. The idea is to help the tree conserve energy and resources while it recovers from repotting. Since the tree won’t be using as much water, you’ll need to water it less, but keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t dry out completely. How long the tree stays in this sheltered spot depends on its health and the season. I usually wait about 1-2 weeks. When the tree shows signs of new growth, I gradually reintroduce it to its normal environment. Be cautious in warmer weather-moving it back to full sun too quickly can cause it to lose leaves. Fun fact: while in the shade, the tree may grow larger leaves to capture more sunlight. Hope this clears things up! 😊

@bonsaiwithromano my pleasure,loved it

@@hassimgora thanks 🤩

I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks. It was a unique set up.

@@TheBonsaiZone @bonsaiwithromano it was explained the layout was inspired by a labyrinth, I think the labyrinth close by at Babylonstoren. The last display, at the last table, was a labyrinth planting of Portulacaria that many enjoyed following it's route with their fingers.

@@living_sculptures_za Cool, I saw that planting at the end of the video!!

Thanks for watching. 🙏🏼

Acacia is a great tree. If you looking at learning more about South African Styles I would recommend two books Liam's book on South African tree species as bonsai and Practical Guide to Bonsai Styles of the World by Charles S. Ceronio.

Indeed, you don't need to go far for bonsai magic. 🌱 Thanks

A lot of hidden gems. 💎 there are so much more that I just couldn’t capture it all. 🫣

@bonsaiwithromano . A follow up in the making.

It is, we have amazing trees here.

Thanks. They are starting to really look good. 🙏🏼

Thanks. It happens faster than you think the one moment you potting all your cuttings, 🤫 next thing you know you have tons of trees.

Thank you for the kind words. This clean up does make it easier to work on my trees. So I do find myself working on my trees a lot more.

He is really passionate and knowledgeable about bonsai.

That is true and what I loved about the club is how the youngsters step up. Nice to see so many young people keen on learning more about bonsai.

Great suggestion! I will look into that.

They are! A young club with a lot of potential. 🫡

That is awesome!🤩

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks, I will share this with Jaco.

Thanks, Liam. I really loved my visit to Jaco's place. He has years of experience and amazing trees.

It’s a Boxwood. They are commonly used for hedges and there are quite few varieties.

It is a beautiful tree. The whole display around the tree was arranged in such a way to make the tree stand out.

@@living_sculptures_za I am glad you enjoyed it. I have a bit more footage of the event and I am revealing a special guest appearance a bit later. Stay tuned to see who it could be…😉

My pleasure!

Thank you for sharing your concerns. I completely understand where you're coming from, and I appreciate that you're looking out for the well-being of trees. As a bonsai artist and enthusiast, I want to assure you that the health and care of the trees are always the top priority for anyone practicing bonsai. We follow the best horticultural practices to ensure the trees thrive. Bonsai is not about harming the tree but creating a harmonious balance between art and nature. The techniques we use are carefully designed to work with the tree’s natural growth patterns, and we never work on a tree that is not healthy and growing strongly. Bonsai trees, when properly cared for, can live just as long, if not longer, than trees in the wild, and the process can actually help protect and nurture them. Thank you for your concern, and I hope this helps explain how bonsai can be a responsible and respectful practice.

That is true. Members spend years getting their trees show ready.

It was a very interesting transformation.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed that. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. 🫡

Nice one, this is brilliant

@@living_sculptures_zathank you

👍🏼

That’s interesting. So what you are saying is that the open area above the water and the reflected sunlight on the body of water encourages the trees to grow towards the water?

@bonsaiwithromano yes but it has nothing to do with the reflection. The woods here are so dense with trees that they grow towards the open area above the water.

Ahh that makes sense. Then you say here what area are you referring to?

That's great! If you would like to order a book, please contact Liam directly via email at laserliam@gmail.com.

Thanks 🤗

Thank you for that info! I am always amazed at the amount of knowledge there is on South African bonsai. It's truly a small community.
