Prune, Wire, and Style a Dwarf Gardenia Bonsai (Gardenia jasminoides 'Radicans' ) and Repotting of a Lavender Star Flower Bonsai (grewia occidentalis)
Hosted By Carlos Bennett
Produced By Brandon Mitchell
On this episode, Los brings to the studio his Dwarf Gardenia Bonsai acquired from ordinary nursery stock from an orange big box store. Due to the growth nature of the gardenia, there will be a lot of branch selection to deal with. We want to eliminate branches that spur off into 3 or more down to just 2.
After branch selection, we can apply wire to the branches in order to pose the limbs to suit the style we are aiming for.
Later, we meet back up in Los' garden greenhouse for a quick repotting of his Lavender Star Flower (grewia occidentalis).
We come back a month or so for an update on the styling of the Dwarf Gardenia. Los decided that the first style wasn't to his liking. So he changed it up to a windswept style.

I got my first gardenia bonsai in May so I learned a lot from your video. How long do you leave the wires on the branches? Also, can you add links to where you purchase your items such as wire, tools, potting mix and those cute birds? Thanks for posting😊
Aw! Thanks for your amazing comment! You want to leave the wire just before you start to see the wire "biting in" (I posted a video recently where my Bald Cypress was showing signs of "biting in", check it out). My gardenia you saw on the show sadly did not survive. But that's thanks to this amazing Texas heat! Email me (BonsaiYEAH@gmail) and I'll get you some links I used.
@@BonsaiYEAH Sorry to hear it didn’t survive. I will look for your other video. If you are monetized on UA-cam you can apply for affiliate links so that you can make money when followers click on your links to purchase items that you have mentioned. But thanks for the email. I will message you for those links…that will be extremely helpful. I truly appreciate it😊
Sir what is this varieties of gardenia (name of gardenia species?)
Not sure exactly..
