    One of the many things I learned since being engaged in this bonsai hobby it that some plants die, no matter what you do to keep them healthy. This is what makes your channel different from many other bonsai youtubers. You show your failed plants as well. It's a good feeling to know that I am not alone 😁

    @AtomicMrShock 3 роки тому +3

    Nigel, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you showing examples of your bonsai that did not work out for one reason or another. As a beginner who worries about having a bonsai die it is actually reassuring to see that it can happen to anyone. Thank you.

    Great video as always Nigel! On your last video, it was very heart breaking to hear that some people were giving you a hard time over the content you make. This is sadly very common on the internet, as you can't really please everyone. I just hope you continue to make videos that satisfy you, and I for one want to THANK YOU for the countless hours of quality content that you've provided for us. I will always look forward to what exciting new things you'll be making each day!

    You're not only very optimistic, but quite wise. It really is a blessing in disguise that some of the trees died back a little bit, it really will add more character to each tree. Honestly would suggest letting the first set of good and new branches get at least a meter or more long before trimming if possible, just for the sake of letting it gain more sap to feed the roots.
    The scale of the spider against the building is quite good, its nice to know these people live in a land with giant spiders in the trees.

  • @farmert9679
    @farmert9679 3 роки тому +2

    The city scape really turned out great. Moss on bricks and on the side of the building looks cool. Trees coming out nice. Summer should bring a lot of growth to the trees.

    Hi Nigel, you could let the ficus roots, in your penjing, grow under the bricks and let them lift the bricks and all the pathway. That's what ficus does in urban contexts. They can literally lift a road

Can't wait for next week when I get done with work training and be home and prune and repot!

So thanks to your suggestion, I decided to start with a quick search on Amazon and literally discovered dozens of choices! I decided on a 5-pack of the model I liked most and with Amazon Prime, they'll be here Monday. I'm anxious to put them to use :)

    Fever acacias usually have huge diebacks. Ther are 4 of them at my kids school and every year there are 3-4 major branches dying back. Reading about it, I have learned that they originally live in swamp areas and since here is quite dry I thoght that maybe it would be a reason for that... but I still want to try them as bonsai since I love its greenish yellowish bark....

    Hello, from Lakeland FL. Like your tropical collection. In one of the comments, I asked you if guaba (guayaba) trees grow from cuttings. You replied that you never tried. I did try it and they do grow from cuttings. Make sure to live lives on the cuttings and use hormones powder. Use regular garden or vegetable soil. Now is the time to try with the cuttings.

Not having but just a few good months of good growing time would be so different for me haha. Spring is basically here in west Tennessee with bubs starting to swell and some even opening already. Looking forward to part 3. That sunshine through the window looks like it feels amazing. I know the bonsai love it!

    Hi Nigel
    I dont know if you are able to help. I recently root pruned the large chunky roots from my Acacia robusta (now called Vachellia robusta) and most of the leaves have dried up. I have kept it in a warm shaded area and have kept soil moist in mornings. Do you have any suggestions for what could have happened? Is this just how they sometimes respond to stress?

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  3 роки тому +1

      They will drop their leaves when root pruned and you have to be careful not to over water the trees when they are leafless or the roots could begin to rot. It may take quite some time before the roots have grown in and tree is stable enough to put out leaves. Here is a good article on Acacia's as bonsai....
