"Im going to be very gentle" followed by war time quality violence.
Made me exhale through my nose at a faster pace than usual, thank you.
HA! slams on the table and tears out the heart haha
I always keep my videos at double speed but forget... so imagine the sped up violence!
I really appreciate the brutality, it gives me more confidence to throw my bonsai about!
I dont wanna make the tree stress and the boom.
I dont even have a bonsai. I just watch him for me to relax
Exactly, I bet bob ross is lookin down from heaven like, "those are happy little trees"
Same but I kind of want to get one 👀
I just started creating bonsai but w succulents.
Make one. Dont get one. Buy a sapling or start from seed. Even if you only work on one at a time its really enjoyable.
Your time is coming, if you haven't purchased one already :)
Please continue with the "boring parts"- they are sacred to your Students.
I Love the “boring details” gives me a good understanding of how to do these things start to finish. Thank you for your videos!
I'm new to bonsai (3 years) and you never cease to amaze me. I can't wait to see how this looks in the end (if there is such a thing in bonsai). I'll be back in 20 years to see the results.
Rumour has it Peter has only ever employed one person. The rest of his employees are air layers from the original one.
Ha ha - that could be true. We are a team of seven and they are all trained here.
🤣🤣🤣
When he started doing this in 1970 the bonsai purists laughed at him, but, of course, they eventually stopped laughing and started air layering their employees too...not that they give Peter credit for his innovations
@@ammonford They dont have ANY Employees
😂
I love to see the detail honestly, I watch your videos to relax. I’ve never found a video “boring”
Amen. Sometimes I watch Peter's videos just to relax.
Me too! There is nothing more calming than watching this man!
So true

Speaking for the crowd that discovered bonsai less than two hours ago, we LOVE your content! keep filming boring details!
1:27 "... why dont we take it out carefully..." *proceeds to tug and hank roughly xD
But, he took it out “gently” at first until he yanked the pot off the roots at the end (smile) He just wanted to make sure he didn’t destroy the long tail of roots. Otherwise, it’s ok to yank away.
Love watching him!!
And hopefully you'll be showing us all your experiments for many years to come. Excellent stuff.
what i love about these videos is how "rough" he is with the trees. and they turn out beautiful. Of course he has decades of experience to know how gentle or not you need to be with these things. So many bonsai videos have people using thousand dollar tools to carefully trim one root at a time and stare at it for hours before plucking one leaf off... this dude just goes for it! love it.
this is the bob ross of bonsai. Thank you!
Thread grafted my maple to add a Branch and it worked, similar to what Peter was aiming for.. Thx for sharing Peter, until next one and stay safe to all..😇
Very interesting to watch, and please continue to include the “boring parts”, as you call them... to us they are priceless ! Nice to be able to rewatch and pause, as we try these things. I have started to sit pots on gravel for roots to extend! Thank you so much for these videos. I am planning a day soon to start rewatching all your videos! It will be a special treat !!
agree, I don't like "shortcuts".... This maple had already it's roots prepared for a rock; as if. I like seeing the process. How you need to work the roots to get it in shape, way before being ready to englobe the rock
Yes agreed!...cant wait to visit your nursery!
Bob ross of bonsai. Super chill. And informative. Thank you.
Thank you Mr. Chan. You have taken the anxiety out of Bonsai.
ah, i was wondering why everyone was saying they liked the "boring details". admittedly, i noticed the quotation marks but i still thought it a bit rude haha. i didn't know it was because you feel the smaller details themselves are boring.
you sir, may fear you are boring your audience with the smaller details, but i can see from your fan's own "mouths" that you are too hard on yourself. almost everyone who's been with you for awhile can attest that they like when you give them the "boring details". they hang on your every word and are eager to learn the valuable information you have to teach.
your fans love you and are more than willing to be patient :) as is needed for the art of bonsai, so I'd say you lucked out!
I would like to see 6 maples rotated together as one tree. It sounds like I should run a few 50 year experiments myself.
How is it going then?
EXCELLENT tutorial video, sir! Thanks for sharing this technique with us.
So much knowledge. An amazing person.
Phenomenal ‘experiments’. This gives me some inspiration about reviving an almost dead potted tree that the gardener wants to throw out in the trash.
I have probably made this comment before but once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge Peter :)
You are a huge inspiration and learning source. Hope to start my own bonsai/garden tree nursery one day but here in Sweden.
That's exciting!! I wish you much success and happiness in the fulfillment of this goal ^.^
@@CookieAlexander Thank you so much :D
i like bonsai very much, i',m
watching because i want to
make one for myself.
Love you sir thank you for teaching
"this i've been having for 15 years", i'll be bac in another 15 to see how those twigs worked out in the gap
I had not even thought of more than one rock!?? Trees and rocks, both such passions of mine. Perfect marriage.
gotta love this man's commantary
New to the bonsai hobby, you are very interesting. The "boring stuff" is the most interesting. Thanks for teaching all of us!
Awesome as usual...
Quite interesting and cool. I had really wanted to see how this was done so thank you. . Maybe at some point you can touch on keeping all those roots viable and not drying out so exposed. I had thought of using spag moss but I though that would cause a knot of roots due to the moisture so I was left with what to do short of watering everyday (sometimes more in hot summer) like I do with my orchids like mounted ones or vandas. Thx for sharing.
please keep doing this videos, u can include the boring parts if you dont mind… I like your bonsai filosofy… don't you ever be afraid of experimenting and let your mind go
Peter hacks the tree/plant as if there's no tomorrow and they become beautiful Bonsai, I take a glance at the plants and they die :(
"The Japanese are fond of pressure-washing the roots. I think it stresses the tree." (I prefer to use this gentle, minimally-invasive technique.)
I could listen to him say root over rock for the rest of my life
Great videos!
Thank you.....
Thx for this video, I wanna try this with my Ficus petiolaris. 👍🌱
Ficus does very well for Root over Rock
thanks for your inspiring video!
I love how he absolutely brutalizes his trees. So chaotic
I love!- ❤️Doing something kinda similar with one of my maple being inverse into it’s self. I grafted One part of the limb to the stock of the tree.,held in place with a thumb pin ,wire or Pruning clay.👍🏻
Thank you sir
Thank you for all the detail....appreciate your videos and you.
"We are going to be very gentle..." - 9:33 🤘💀🤘
That maple was quite root bound in that pot. I have often wondered if washing the soil away would be acceptable. However, not sure I would use a pressure washer. Hahaha. Thank you again Mr Chan for another fascinating and informative video on bonsai.
You are wonderful so talented 💖
I just received 30 Japanese black pine seeds in the mail, I have them sitting in water for 24 hours will do scarification/stratification for a month and see what I get! (Located in Canada!)
Draven I may have to stratify longer but I will be checking at a month to pull out any seeds that have sprouted a little root I will let u know my germination rate out of 30 seeds at 1 and 2 months
Draven sorry ... to clarify I will be taking a few seeds out at a month and see if they sprout after sowing.. then at 2 months take some more out and see if those sprout after sowing.. I have experience with growing other crops from a seed... but I am a newbie in bonsai
Draven It seems pretty all over the place online. I’ve read for black pine u should stratify 1 week , 1 month, 2 months or even 3 months.. there is no clear answer..
RE: BLACK PINE SEEDS. I soaked mine/refrigerated them last month and wrote on the bag 5/20. Experimenting... Since I’m home, I took the bag out last week and today found most have sprouted! Thanks HERONS BONSAI for all the lessons, without strict rules offers more people encouragement to try!
@Draven Since when does the Glorious Executioner fiddle with Bonsai? Hadn't figured you a green thumb
A feast for my eyes.
It’s like you read my mind! I noticed one of my maples had roots that might work for this. I decided to wait until next spring to let the roots grow longer.
Root over rock, way to go
First of all Peter... there’s not a soul alive that would doubt you’ve been doing bonsai... for decades... not if they have a brain!!! Trolls DO NOT count.. I think that maple tree looks amazing!!! If I may, I wonder if you could find another rock to fill the other side... such an amazing tree.. really, you only just begun... The
second tree will be interesting to follow too!! I’m so happy to have found you years ago... thanks!!!!
You have a very good eye Mary.
peter chan thank you sir!!
Can you please tell what kind of care you have to do with rock bonsai's for winter, are the roots more prone to winter damage ?
They shouldnt be if the tree is hardy.
I've been waiting for this video a long time. But it has been worth it. Hope to get a follow up in spring and summer!
I like the root over rock. It makes the tree look very old. 🐲🐲🌲🌲🌲🌱🌿🎍🎍
I love root over rock bonsai, they look absolutely gorgeous! I'm looking forward to see more of your 'crazy' experiments and the results :D
I will make my first bonsai soon my cuttings are already making roots eventually when the roots grow i will make a bonsai
Him: sets his bonsai on fire and it comes out healthier and beautiful.
Me: looks at my bonsai wrong and it dies.
..

Right?!?
"I don't like to bore you with the detail"
Please sir every detail I'm learning so much
I would love to see it now, 3 years later. Love this channel.
Спасибо большое 😊
I kind of love how all of these are completely unedited
Would it be possible to get a follow up on these 2 trees? It would be much appreciated!
Keep filming
What about using water to wash the roots away from the dirty and things? Looks to me be a lot more easier and less root damage
Can you use simple aluminum wires? I use twines to tie the roots
Can you use any kind of rock? Or do they have to certain characteristics that help roots to grow vigorously?
You are the best Peter I watch all you videos I am an 11 year old and I live in America I wish I can do what you do
Start now and enjoy your trees for the rest of your life ❤️
9:50 "In fact I'm cheating, because I'm using old, established roots"
Well, maybe. But I'm growing an apple tree from seed on top of a buried rock for 6 months and oh boy does that take a looong time, even for a shohin :D
I wash the soil ot of the roots with strong water and then carefully rake (comb) the roots
Thank you for your videos.
Please continue showing us every detail.
I can not feel bored from your experience and demonstrations.
Wish you alle the best.
This is perfect timing Peter! I was just doing this too my trees. Thanks for the videos as always.
Look at that ..peter is using new wire 😛
He does this, and ends up with a masterpiece. I do this and I end up with just more compost fodder....
Keep us updated on this beautiful one you showed us at the end, please.
You are the best sir ,all that bla bla from all so-called experts ,you make it understandable and interesting to do and watch ,thank u for the down to earth lesson .
so i have this very new twin trunk maple, and i tried out a few rocks to make the scenery nicer...
one rock fit perfectly ABOVE the trunks. like, it's laying on top of the trees.
is that something that already exists in bonsai?
is it too whacky?
I have a young Maple bonsai with surface roots could I slip some Little Rocks under the roots and gradually increase the size of the rocks as it matures? without taking it out of the bonsai dish
Rock bonsais look amazing! thanks for sharing
I really love watching and learning from your videos. The clarity and selflessness of sharing your knowledge is truly amazing. I am literally a baby in this space and your videos help me get motivated to learn more. Would you have knowledge on what are the best trees in India that make good bonsais?
Can't help imagine the tree is thinking "ouch!".
I wish you could show how to mount orchids onto wood. My orchid is bare root because every time I pot it, the roots start rotting. It prefers a lot of air and circulation. Nice video.
I have no luck with orchids.
I have a video how I do that, but there are lots
He made a Bonsai masterpiece in 1:08 mins!
Thank you very much mr. Peter..... Does planting in a plastic box make the trunk of plants thicker than planting in pots?
“There’s no magic” he says as he uses magic in front of our eyes
Hey peter love your videos . Can we please get a video thats has to do with satsuki azaleas trimming wiring and whatever knowledge you have of this species would be appreciated. There are really no videos on satsuki azaleas
Mr Chan did a video on Satsuki Azaleas not long ago and included how to propagate them.
I will do another one in May- June when the Satsukis flower again.
@@peterchan3100 thank you soo much peter! And for the reply! I just started and im about a year into this great hobby . I can never thank you enough . I have learned soo much from you in a year! I purchased a very nice satsuki and wanted to learn everything about them from a master . Thanks!
@@alicer3423 i did watch that video which was very good. I just want maybe a more detailed video of satsuki or maybe see one started from scratch .

Never understood why your clips get thumbs down, you make the most comprehensive and easy to watch bonsai videos I ever saw and I saw a lot.
P.S your webpage does not work, will not load.
I was super inspired by this. I have a great looking maple and I decided to try a root over rock style. After exposing all the roots it had a beautiful root base that fit perfectly on the rock that I chose. I followed the instructions on this vid so im super excited to see how it turns out in the future
How's it going?
It would be cool if we could get an update.
I would like to see a bonsai done like root over rock but instead done with a broken piece of Chinese pottery. Imagine a broken pot with the roots encroaching over the the weathered and broken pottery.
Can we see the trees that you worked on in the in winter as they are in the Spring..
Just want to say thank you for all your videos Peter, your knowledge, philosophy and no nonsense attitude are greatly appreciated. I look forward to every thing you show us. Cheers from Australia mate 11
Btw, you mention that you don't like to bore us with the boring parts.. personally I enjoy the boring parts.
Watching you work these trees gives me confidence to do more with bonsai.
Keep it up, thanks for quality videos!
Love this video, so interesting! Whats happening after the 'inarched' branch thicken?
he is so right about maples
in florida they grow like weeds they always pop up in my plant pots too
How do you achieve such thick surface roots? I feel like the hobby favors fine roots over bolder root formations.
@3:56, @6:56, @9:56 Man vs. Roots.
Moral: be persistent.
God bless your soul Sir, thank you for Sharing your passion.
Please be Safe Peter, 6'...you are too precious to lose! Another Great video!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA almost crossed the line there mate
I am courios have you ever tried a pressure washer to separate roots and remove dirt?
He said many people do that but he doesn’t like to.
Boy oh boy you need a proper tangle teezer to get those roots untangled! Very beautiful lesson, thank you so much for sharing the "boring" stuff with us
Is it possible to do a roots over plastic? I'm planning to do it on a toy robot with a ficus plant, I want it to look like the tree has devoured thr abandoned robot in the forest
There was a sapling growing at the trunk of the tall tree at the corner, and last year I spent a few hours carefully chiseling it out. One of its roots went directly under the main tree, and the others went around the trunk and out several feet in all directions.
