- I got a visit from one of my best friends Candice, and we took a really nice drive to my "comfort zone"... My friend Andel gave me 2 awesome Bougainvilleas, that I did some repotting and root selection on, and I checked on the success of 2 air layers I did.

Nice visit from your friend.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 she's been my friend for over 20 years... She migrated to Canada a few years ago, so it was a really exciting and relaxing day spending it with her..... I got some goodies from that trip that I'll show off in the next video 😁
Having a cup of tea and enjoying your video this morning.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 I'm doing my best to get over the flu.... I'm having some tea made with lemon, Bay leaf and cinnamon 😁
Nice thick Boug trunk with the hollow in it. Nice root system on it. The repotting will bring out some nice growth to it and the enjoyment of a bonus with flowers.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks Tom... It's awesome🎉🎉
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 that's what I'm hoping for.... I want to develop a nice canopy to show off the trees beauty
Looking good bro! Just started seeing roots on airlayer #2 on my Brazilian rain tree 🎉
@@brandonsmith2902 bro that's great 😃
Welcome to the Bougainvillea club man!!! One of my favorite species. 👏👏👏
@@16kwillia oh yeah?!... I'm up for local techniques on how to preserve the wood 😁
Boug #2, with that hollow feature, a bear cave? Super cool! I have not heard that saying in a long time. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Welcome to the club. I have the sniffles also. Weather changing. Have a cup of sage tea to help rid yourself of it. To preserve the wood can you get some titebond wood glue? Brush it on and it dries clear. Check in your hardware store for wood glue if you do not have TiteBond. Hopefully all grows well after the repotting and the hollow does not rot out.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 thanks for the suggestion.... I will go check it out....
That's a great name for that particular tree..the bear cave bougainvillea.....
I hope you get over the flu quickly my friend....🎉🎉🎉
Nice bougainvillea! The hollow one is really cool
@@BuffaloBonsai thanks so much....yes it is 😁
Air layer #2, at least you received some roots on it. Should take off after the root helps the cutting to gain more. Bummer losing that 2nd root.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 I couldn't help but laugh....it only had 2 roots and 1 fell off.... I hope with the humidity it survives and takes off
On that big cutting, scrape the bark between the brains and put on hardwood root hormone. Should work out for you. Sometimes the air layer takes and sometimes it does not. Luck of the draw so to say. At least you tried.
@@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951 yeah I did...and I am funny enough, more excited about the experiment....
I know it's unusually big, but say what?! Go big or go home 🤣
Can you do a video on how you create you bonsai soil mix . Thanks in advance .
@@ronellmohammed that's a great idea.... I will do that... Thanks for the suggestion 🎉🎉🎉
much beter to hear you
Seawater does “preserve” wood however it also expands it, that’s only in instances where there is continuous exposure… soo let’s say you try a concentrated saltwater mix… I’ll try it too, I have a similar Boug that I am working on.
@@prfsnlisland_boy Thankful for the information.... This is indeed valuable... I will try it when the trees are well established and thriving....
🎉🎉🎉
Brooo swear you does scare me with the amount of roots you does be removing
@@Saiyato 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 it will be alright..I hope 🤣🤣🤣
@trybonsai keep us updated dude! And keep up the good work
@@Saiyato will do for sure
