@@Bonsaiflybecause through pain comes transformation... The caterpillar does not like being trapped in the cocoon for so long. but yet he does it. It's the only way to fly.
Guys the tree is fine it will look like this again soon it’s just pruning not cutting everything and this is how bonsai trees started they will look like a old tree but tiny and this is the process
@@PafMedic"why do it?" Because it's an art form. It imitates what trees look like in nature on a small scale. It does not compensate the tree's health either. It literally gets better care than if it was growing outside.
@@PafMedic why do you feel the need to criticize something that isn't hurting anyone? It's art and makes people happy, find something more worthy of criticism 😂
It’s so surprising to see so many people call this plant abuse 😭 you can tell people don’t bother to search up anything these days, really sad. Beautiful bonsai though, one day I want to create my own bonsai tree :)
True, about every 5th comment is something negative like that. I have long given up trying to convince people otherwise, they won’t hear it and I don’t feel like having the same argument hundreds of times. You get it though, I am glad for that
This is an absolutely beautiful result and I can't wait to see how the tree progresses! Super inspiring!! Absolutely staggered at the display of ignorance in the comments 💀
There is absolutely no need to worry. As long as you leave some green on the plant you'll be fine. And in some cases only a bulb is needed. Plan6are built to adapt to a loss of a few stems and can even grow out fuller. Just look up how to do it correctly
My dog once chewed my acer to the bare bone, I was thinking of throwing it away but just was curious, and next season it had leaves everywhere. The little buggers are much more resilient that people are willing to give credit, and why you can have such beautiful bonsai if you’re willing to give it enough time. ^^
I literally have a small Alberta Spruce with triple trunks that I'm going to style on camera. The weather finally broke and I'm getting ready to set up now! Great video and perfect timing..it will be my first!
I tried bonsai from garden stores before and couldn’t keep them alive. What’s your secret? I was always terrified to remove too much in one clipping but when I did a hard pruning I killed it. Do you prune and let it recover then repot the next year? Or do you repot then trim the next year? How much can a spruce take in one go? Thank you!
It’s not really a secret but I only perform one big action per year. I prefer to repot first and then wait a year and then style, but sometimes I do it the other way around. And yes, this one is still alive
This one is a Picea Conica. What you’ll need is scissors, concave cutters, wire and cut paste. All the other tools you can use help but aren’t necessarily needed
It always amazes me. These guys say “You can safely remove up to 30% of the foliage.” They then proceed to only LEAVE 30%. What gives? Cant wait to see the results btw
The 30% rule (of thumb, really) mostly applies to trees that are already in Bonsai pots and therefore can’t regenerate strength as fast anymore. Update on this tree within the next month
This was pretty severe but the first styling always is like that. For your second question: I could’ve just let one branch on the tree and it would’ve survived. So as long as you leave some green the tree can recover. Preferably do it in spring or autumn and cover wounds with cut paste
You mean the branches stripped of bark? When a branch would be cut normally as it isn’t going to be necessary in the design you can leave deadwood instead of cutting it off completely to add visual age
That's part of the art. With bonsai, you intentionally prune and feed the tree such that it has enough nutrients to be healthy and survive, but not enough to grow big.
Dwarf Alberta spruce. Don't do this to them. You'll most likely kill it. They're very tender plants. If you want one, just plant it in a garden or yard.
yall laughing but wait 2 years
Me: 💀
After 2 years it becomes gorgeous
Wait 2 weeks...till it dies lol.
All things grow
2 yrs itll be back to its original shape they dont hold their shape because they contain alot of sap and they are not hardy
Don’t picture what it looks like now but what it will look like in the future.
Exactly!
@@Bonsaiflydo you have any update?
@@j.h.9832 not yet. It’ll be featured again though
@@BonsaiflyI was curious and wanted to ask, as I’m very interested in getting into making my own bonsai tree; how is it going?
@@deanharstad5404 the tree is doing very well :) I am letting it grow for now, so it gains some size
look how they massacred my boy...
Who’s they though?
Godfather 😂
@@Bonsaiflyok Kanye chill 😂
There's more but the video stopped in a bit they're going to chop the roots down

Not Nature/Not Natural..🤷🏼♀️Why Do It..There Is 0 Reason..And Thats Not Pruning
@@PafMedicyou mega dumb
@@PafMedic💀 Are you sure that's not pruning that's bonsai that's what all bonsai are kid

Simplified instructions: Prune like crazy. Bend wire around branches; bend to shape, and repeat. Right?
Basically 😂✌🏻
While that is what you do, it's not so simple. Knowing where to prune how to bend,how to wrap the wires, and so much more takes a lot of experience.
@turtleman190 I know, I was over simplifying.

Plant abuse? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Have any of those people ever murdered an insect?
We call them vegans 😂😂
I always wondered how to make a bonsai of out a cone shaped plant.
Now you know ✨
This is an absolutely beautiful result and I can't wait to see how the tree progresses! Super inspiring!!
Absolutely staggered at the display of ignorance in the comments 💀
I am glad you like it :) I think I’ll show it again in spring or so.
Fr, the people in the comments act like they never cut or picked a plant (cough cough grass and flowers)
That looks so good I always worried about if I’m taking of the right branch
Looks really good now, can't wait to see in a year or 2
I’ll update it at some point!
Very nice conversion of normal plant to a great looking tree🎉
Thank you :)
I a excited to try this. Beautifully done.
Thank you friend :)
Bro got a little off the side and turned into my fake Christmas tree
You just mad that Gojo was off-screened
@@Bonsaifly hey that’s not nice 😭
I look forward to this beautiful future
Can you propagate the cuttings into other plants? Great tutorial- thank you!
At least the ones that aren’t too thick yet for sure
I can’t wait to watch this one grow and age!
I‘ll repot it in a month or so and will update then!
Lots of posts by people with absolutely ZERO understanding of what’s going on here.
True and sad. Hopefully some will look beyond the hateful comments and see that the practice of bonsai is supposed to harmonize with the tree ✨🌱
@@Bonsaiflybro your trees are absolutely stunning. don’t take the disrespect they are most likely jealous of your hard work
@@JeffAkner thank you! I don’t take it personally it’s just typical internet behavior
@@Bonsaifly aha no worries then lol
Never realized Charlie Brown had a bonsai tree for Xmas
The tree: 🐩
amazing bonsai art
Thank you :)
A poda transforma a planta por completo 😊
Can’t wait to see the transformation
Update in a couple of months
What is the reason for keeping the lower branches? And why should we peel them?
Creating deadwood features from branches that aren’t going to be kept adds age to the tree
A friend of mine had a bonsai business... It was very successful.
So successful in fact that he had to move to a smaller premises❗
Thanks for the … encouragement? 😄
bonsai tree: " pls.!! stop!! ur torturing me!! 💀☠️
Nope. Plants have no central nervous system so there is no such thing as torturing a plant
Great. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing. New subscriber here from Sikkim, India
Thanks 😊 glad to have you here!
Great video and tutorial also but can you give me the song name plz please
Just bought a lil ficus, (like 4inches tall 😂) any advice on getting it started into a bonsai? 🥰
idk water it I guess
@@SuspiciouslyCatShapedPotato perfect advice 😂🤣
I have tons of videos on Ficuses up!
I'm kinda scared cutting plants. I feel like they might not recover.

Can you make a cupressus sempervirens cascade one please?
Don’t think I’ll be working with cupressus much more for now (their a bit tough in my climate). Might do a juniper cascade at some point

And yes, this one is still alive
@@Bonsaifly I’m certain it’s still alive. I had no doubts. I killed mine because I went too hard and was impatient. Thank you for the reply!
Just bought a bonsai tree, where can I get the wiring?
Any bonsai vendor or even amazon
Is it prickly?
Yes
May I know the name of this plant ?
It’s an Alberta Spruce (Picea Conica)
What type of tree do I look for
To train it like yours ?
This is a spruce however if you’re getting started I would recommend you get a juniper. They are more forgiving!
How many times do you get pricked doing that ? Looks great 🌲
Thousands
I think it’s a great job in time it will be awesome 🌲🌲🌴
Regards
Shaun
Uk
Thanks Shaun, I’ll do my best
@@Bonsaifly only bonsai enthusiasts understand what we are trying to achieve 🌳🌳🌳👍
Please tell me what's the name of the tree
Picea Glauca
Me at the barber when I ask him to take an inch off the top;
What time of year are you pruning this tree? During winter dormancy? Or early spring when showing signs of new growth?
In spring
How long do the wires normally need to stay on before the plant will support itself in the shape?
Depends on the type of tree and how vigorously it grows the next season. At least a year though
Before cutting 🙎🏻
After cutting 👨🦲
And in 5yrs it'll be worth a fair amount
Eh more like 2 months I guess@@ilovemikerogers
THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHH! I was looking to buy a bonsai and what do you know, I have four of these out back! Great video thanks
This almost got me traumatized a little If he was not careful
Why is there a big advertisement that drops down In the middle of the video?
Because it’s a video that has been sponsored by a grow light company called Marshydro. It’s how I am able to keep these videos going
Thanx
Please guide us with all requirements and name of plants.
This one is a Picea Conica. What you’ll need is scissors, concave cutters, wire and cut paste. All the other tools you can use help but aren’t necessarily needed
I really like how you answer people's questions
What kind of soil can be used for a juniper bonsai?
It always amazes me. These guys say “You can safely remove up to 30% of the foliage.” They then proceed to only LEAVE 30%. What gives?
Cant wait to see the results btw
The 30% rule (of thumb, really) mostly applies to trees that are already in Bonsai pots and therefore can’t regenerate strength as fast anymore.
Update on this tree within the next month
@ awesome! Thanks for the reply
Mars hydro are good lamps I have many
Next time you buy one you can use the code BONSAIFLY, just fyi
Yep.
What kind of tree is that? It’s beautiful
Hey, that’s the tree from a Charlie Brown Christmas! I knew I recognized it.
Why strip the second trunk? To encourage growth into the first?
How far on the pruning spectum would this be? How much more wouldve been too much taken off?
This was pretty severe but the first styling always is like that. For your second question: I could’ve just let one branch on the tree and it would’ve survived. So as long as you leave some green the tree can recover. Preferably do it in spring or autumn and cover wounds with cut paste
@@Bonsaifly thanks a ton!
why did you leave a bare branch? Is there a technical reason?
You mean the branches stripped of bark? When a branch would be cut normally as it isn’t going to be necessary in the design you can leave deadwood instead of cutting it off completely to add visual age
@@Bonsaifly ahhh ok thank you.
Looks like a wish Christmas tree 😂
Whats the point of debarking some of the branches?
Deadwood creation
Can it be moved to a different smaller pot? You know, a classic large but short pot
Yes of course!
is this a how to torture a bush video?
Basically 🫣
Dont act like you dont cut your grass every week
This is a "Tell me you know absolutely nothing about horticulture" comment!" 😅
thats so true i have no idea about cutting bushes. 😄
What kind of pine tree
Spruce
Care to show us how the tree turned out after many months?
I will definitely show it again. Probably when it is repotted next spring. This year I let the tree recover its strength
Nice ONE!
Or 2.😊
whats is the tree?
Great Job, thanks for share.
Is a Juniperus stricta?
You’re welcome!
No, this is a Picea Conica, commonly they are called dwarf Alberta spruce I think
@@Bonsaifly thanks for clearing It up
Nice bonsaii
Name of this plant
Picea glauca
Tan hermoso que era, me siento mal por el pino me duele😢
How long until you take off the wiring?
I let it on until I see that it’s biting in. With broadleaf trees you have to be more cautious
How can I get the small tree please?
Do you want to buy one?
Sehr schön 👌🏼
Danke dir! :)
What kind of juniper is that
It’s a spruce actually

What tree is that
Alberta spruce
It looked healthier n the beginning
Whats your point?
That's part of the art. With bonsai, you intentionally prune and feed the tree such that it has enough nutrients to be healthy and survive, but not enough to grow big.
They always look worse before they look better with time it will grow into a stunning tree
It's always darkest before the dawn
@@GabetheGuruit’s not that it doesn’t have enough nutrients to get big they just prune it and keep it in the wires
Very nice
What is the name of this plant? Thanks
Picea Glauca
What rype of Bonsai is this
Spruce
what tree is this?
Dwarf Alberta spruce. Don't do this to them. You'll most likely kill it. They're very tender plants. If you want one, just plant it in a garden or yard.
@@leaf2180 thanks sir for information, thought all spruce family really good for bonsai
They are somewhat delicate but it’s definitely possible to Bonsai them
