Extended period of quarantine has led me here to grow a bonsai to talk to
Same
You right 😌😌😌
I do that but with tomatoes
After trimming roots, fit into pot.
5 months later:(
Tree: Just a trim please
Him: laughs in bonsai
"Don't worry we're just going to create a more compact design"
Saw lots of comments asking this so thought ide write my own. These trees aren’t genetically miniature, they aren’t malnourished. They are a regular tree that is kept small through rigorous pruning and trimming/ repotting of the root system. There are bonsai trees over 1000 years old that are less than 2 meters high. Truely amazing and a very dedicated art form. If you want to start, junipers and ficus trees are cheap good starters :)
I seen a natural bonsai before, it looked pretty cool
They’re small because the pot is small hence the definition of the word bonsai. You need to pay attention. Bonsai means shallow pot planting. That is what makes the trees small. Malnourished?! Hahaha learn things before you say things.
@@justinmagee2203 plants can grow out of their pots…. And in fact some trees can grow out of their pots. (Money trees) I think what you mean is that it’s an artificial tree that’s trained to be small. Just to clarify more of why I am wrong.
But seriously it was like a dwarf tree
@@justinmagee2203 you know plants can grow out of their pots right. They aren't just magically small, why would they evolve to be lower on the ground and get less sunlight than other trees. "Hahaha learn things before you say things" right back atcha
223o- Bonsai trees over 1000 years old? Where are those trees?
This looks like a real soul healing hobby, i am seriously considering it. Just need to learn some more, i always try to learn everything there is about a hobby before diving in. Thanks for the video, greetings from Serbia.
It definitly is my brother, i hope you still find joy in it✌🏻
I don't have any particular reason to watch this video but i watch it anyway.
bruh
ima make this shit.
Gede Yudistira Satria Deva some
Thanks for sharing Gede !
Which country are u from? R u hindu?
This is by far the best beginner's guide and introduction to Bonsi that I have watched to date. Thank you sir.
This video is so informative for me as beginners thank you
Me too.
Very clear instructions and said very slowly…
I love it.
I will subscribe to this guy
👍🏻👍🏻
Came here for knowledge, stayed for the hilarious comments
This is basically gardening bondage
Joel Killingsworth I wheezed Lol
But not so sexy.
that plant got some sexy curves i guess
Daddy, prune me harder.
Haha u killed me LOL
I really like bonsai trees..I find it so relaxing when dealing with bonsai tree..it looks like an art piece...
Step 1: wait 15 years
why?????
Bruh 😂😂
Or go find a baby tree in the woods
@@nevaehklugel8617 is not that simple, you have to constantly take care of the bonsai and give it his shape, if is in the trees no one ever before has give it the shape or apply the treatment, so you still have to wait, but is the same with every plant, thats the thing about them, look at them while growing, that maybe will remind you that you too, or you can have a herb like marihuana, those are more faster hahahaha, i mean i have some but i also have cactus, a lot of haha
Gatito Wut?
Him: now reshaping the tree
20 seconds later: *cuts the tree in half*
Thank you for this! A lot of other channels I've looked at focus on how to prune an already-started bonsai that you buy but very few show how to start your own from a normal tree
Check herons bonsais
What really cracks me up, is that my regular indoor plants tend do die, if I so much as look at them the wrong way.
I would have never guessed a plant could take so much manhandling and go on thriving.
Rara Avis ikr i can only grow a bean
That's because you don't have a green thumb. Plants do thrive after being pruned, in fact it is a method used to revitalize plants, such as pruning a rose Bush to get several flowering phases over the course of the season rather than just one.
Must be referring to the wire-twining step 😂
What really cracks me up is your profile pick it looks like you’re trying to do some bonsai!!
They probably don’t have enough light or the soil is wrong. If you use soil that doesn’t drain well enough(like anything Miracle-gro) then it won’t live long. If you use potting soil, you’d always want to add some horticultural sand and warm gravel into it
I thought bonsais are just a bonsai tree that grows like that ,but its all in cutting and shaping ! Amazing ill get a treee tomorrow and do all of this !!
Did you get the tree? How did it go? Do you already have an idea of how you want it to lool in the future? Are you gonna give an update video or something? You cant let me die of curiosity. Or would you?
@@efosaetc.6279 hello! I bought a little tree and i tried my best to twist it and cutnit gently etc ! It looks so nice, it was for my mum as she loves bonsais i would post a picture if u give me an email lol i dont post youtube videos but this video helped mee
@@martacoco731 is it still alive??
@@TheSica619 soooo i bent it and took the wires off sfter 2 months, it still lives!
@@martacoco731 may i see it please?? :) would be really inspiring
I guess from sometime in the early to mid 90's, my dad took interest in bonsai trees and started experimenting with growing his own. The amount of work and time it takes to create one beautiful Bonsai is awe inspiring. The richness of Japanese and Asian culture in general, the dedication and the firm believe anything can be cultivated and refined to an art, seems to be sometimes lost in translation due to cultural misunderstandings. I was considering maybe trying to experiment a bit with Bonsai and just landed on this video as a quick reference..
Hey Dan, thanks for sharing - I hope you get started with some experiments :)
do it! grab a shrub at the local home center and see what you can make of it in a few years.
How’s the bonsai’s coming along?
👍🏻👍🏻
I never knew so much went into shaping/making a bonsai tree. No wonder they cost so much!
most bonsai's price is due to age
Thank you very much Sir, this is the most explicit Bonsai video I have found ever.
Well demonstrated. It looked so easy when I watched the video although I know how difficult it is for an unskilled person like me. Thank you.
This is a great idea for seniors who want a bonsai but don't have 30 or 40 years to wait for a proper one to grow.
Tried this on my mango tree, now it's a jackfruit tree
Well jackfruit can taste good
😂😂
😂😂😂 bruh

Compared to the first starter kit video you make this is awesome, everything is so good explained and very detailed wiring and branch positioning.
Great vid.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
I love bonsai trees wish to create one day myself

Never cared about gardening in general, except helping my aunt out here and there. But this Bonsai stuff has got me spellbound
"you can safely remove up to 1/3 of tee trees foliage"
proceeds to remove 80%
Krumzebell Abethabek lmao YOU can but I won’t
Right looks skinny af now
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
It was at least half for sure.
Livin life on the edge
Quarantine lead me to watch bonsai tree videos for three hours straight... i-
It's basically braces for a tree!

Yeah, but you crook the tree.
Yeah, after cutting it's head off.
Poor little tree got crooked and stunted.
What a work of art in no time, thank you for sharing your knowledge and skill, now i am busy, i am going to put in practice
Fenomenal, excelente 👍👏 pedagogía, motivas el interés por emprender esta bonita tarea. Muchas gracias por hacerlo con traducción al español, muy chévere👍 😜
i have a tiny white pine sapling and a tiny juniper i grew both from seed and i’m super excited that the white pine sprouted
Very grateful for the expanded master class. I've been looking for such a video for a long time.
💯
Wow , amazing beautiful bonsai 🌳
Best tutorial I've seen, thank you!
It is a good overall tutorial for basic bonsai making. I don’t see a reason for all the negative comments.
because everyone on youtube is a know-it-all and wants to spew their flaccid opinion all over the internet like people actually care
Remember to use chopsticks to remove soil otherwise this won't be a real Japanese Bonsai tree
Remember to also use brain.exe to find most convenient stick like object around you. So a drum stick if you're a drummer, chop sticks if you're in Japan... or an Asian country that uses chopsticks with billions of them around. Literally billions. Believe me, I know. Sometimes trillions, but most times billions.
u stole my pic
someone stole my chopsticks....what do i do??? my bonsai is going to die!!!! without my chopsticks i can not even water them! Someone please help!!!
Dammit
I use Absolut vodka Plastic sticks...for cocktails...
Great work! Keep it up.
Seeing him do all that with the exposed roots gets me so fucking nervous
its ok you can remove over half the roots
So helpful. Thank you for sharing! I think I’ll enroll in your course now.
I remember 15 years ago I wanted a bonsai tree, when I finally got one ,I didn't value it and it was dying,so I gave it away, the person that has the bonsai takes good care of it.
A dentist is a bonsai artist with teeth. Braces and wires wrapped around teeth for years to attain better aesthetics. " most beautiful angle for display "
That's more an orthodontist thing.
I'd say a dentist is more like a millwright.
Some people actually do need braces though.

This is very informative and helpful for beginner bonsai tree growers.
Excellent video, very clear step by step. Thank you
Wow... Magnificent work, buddy !
ngl, this video is so stress relieving
It was a great and useful techniques, thank you for sharing
from pruning to wiring until a tiny bonsai is formed, 👏👏👍👍. good useful.
"first we untangle the root carefully using chopsticks" * starts going ham on the roots, stabbing them with chopsticks.
Damn I was really hoping no one had commented this yet
I was thinking the same thing. Dood just destroyed all the root hairs. This is quite sad anyone who knows what root hairs are knows that this is causing "transplant shock" and sometimes this could actually be fatal.
True but afterwards you treat the tree as a barely rooted cutting. High humidity and moderate sunlight. And conifers can absorb moisture and nutrients by their foliage.
I laughed so hard at this, I had totally forgotten the term "going ham" on something!
@@colinwatson8568 Which is why you only repot when it's absolutely needed and only when the tree is healthy and strong
This is so rad! I honestly never thought much about bonsai or the process. It's amazing. Patience is obviously required. Near the end you mentioned making sure the wire wasn't damaging the stems. I'm wondering "what if"? I would love to know more or see a follow-up video. Thank you for peaking my interest. You did a beautiful job. 🥰
👍🏻👍🏻
rad?
Corectly explained video...I got what I wanted. Thank you very much Sir.
Simple, Pratique et Efficace! merci pour ce tuto!!
Wow wow would be a beautiful bonsai candidate, thank you for sharing my friend's knowledge
Like....salam hormat

When sculpting meets gardening: Bonsai 🌳
Well done super video.very well articulated and the demonstration is crystal clear
So lets see your video on how to trim a bonsai....
Thanks! I wanted to present the techniques in a way so people can really do it themselves! The online Bonsai course is here: www.bonsaiempire.com/courses/getting-started
Bonsai Empire mundocelvajen
good to see he included a plant in his wire sculpture.
One of my favorite
韓国の盆栽の初心者です。 いろいろ勉強になります。 ありがとうございます。

😂
-_-
I’m 100% doing this especially for my other plants since they big
My mom is gonna help me since she is a good at wiring bonsai
There is something brutal about this whole process.
A really nice creation..I learned some technique very importantly to apply..Thank you..I also practising creating bonsai..
Ok, I’m making a bonsai tree!
OMG, I have that plant at my garden.. hehe.. didn’t know it can be Bonsai.. I buy because so beautiful 😅
This is just what I needed. Thank you
Que belleza…espero tener uno pronto.
Its amazing! 🤔I see like 2 leggs under, at the beginning of the tree.
Great video. Greetings from Brazil. Thanks.
Thats the real art bro
Thanks for sharing. It reminds me of how I craft my Christmas tree every year. 😂
My mother got me a bonsai kit for my 23rd birthday, and I'm pretty nervous about starting it (typical fear of screwing something up and hurting/killing the tree). After watching your video I feel a bit more optimistic and may start considering planting those bonsai seeds (obviously it will take a few years for them to grow, but it should make for an interesting project/experiment). Thanks for the video...I'm sure I will use it as reference whenever I get around to planting and caring for my trees.
i recommend starting with a cutting from any tree.
👍🏻👍🏻
Спасибо за русские субтитры.
Спасибо ещё раз за ясность и четкость объяснения !Подписка , лайк и ждём , с нетерпением, новых видео!!!
Urraa 👍🏻👍🏻
Movement of the trunk is really good
Very inspiring. Thank you.
Thanks! Starting my 1st bonsai tomorrow from a 5yo evergreen bush that never did much. Great ideas!
Nice video.
Useful tips.
The product is awesome.
Lot of explanations and details.
I will share the video.
I recommend it for persons that need to improove their gardening skills.
👍👍👍
That was Very interesting the basic of Bonzai, thanks for the video!
Looks so beautiful 😊thank you for sharing
It is IMPERATIVE that you use chop sticks to remove the soil. If you don’t, you will not be allowed to prune a tree in front of a traditional Japanese backdrop and will just be known as the weird white guy that likes little trees.
>implying bonsai isn't normally just strange asian guys who like little trees
I'm quite certain I'd be known as the weird white guy that likes little trees regardless of whether or not I use chop sticks.
lol :D
In the old days, the Japanese they don't use wires tho.
an other white dude trying to hard
Very well work really help to start a new plant as bonsai kindly mention soil mixture as well for more information about tree.. Thanks
Perhaps read about bonsai soil on our site: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/advanced/bonsai-soil
So pretty plant. I like the bonsai, I wish to have your plant in my table.
Excelente explicação! Parabéns!
👍🏻👍🏻
Now i wanna make a bonsai...
“Focus only on the tree” Mr miyagi
Many Thanks Sir Bonsai Empire for ur inspiring video on how to create our own Bonsai..I will apply what i have learned from you in my next video..
Beautiful bonsai.❤
It's amazing how many cool comments on this video about a bonsai tree.
I also feel weirdly sorry for this tree. It’s like foot binding in plant form.
I watched a video on bonsais getting the bark removed and I could picture it screaming as they chipped away at it.
@@FrenchysPlaysTV too much cartoons man 😂
Loved this, thank you
Thank you for sharing the video 👍👍👍
Awesome tutorial!! Just wonder how the tree look now after 4 years.
Nice video. Love from Indonesia.
Kliwon Bonsai poho ap itu??
@@dfstudioss pohon juniper
In from missouri about middle in the US. In my yard we have two mimosa trees growing and babies will sprout out of the ground in many places. I think it would be cool to Bonsai one. Beutiful Juniper. Thank you!
like for humans, discipline and hard training, makes a better and more valuable man, great job, thanks sir
Essa é uma aula top demais, e também gratuita, muito obrigado por passar o seu conhecimento, sou sou do Brasil.
👍🏻👍🏻
After I watched it, I decided ill just BUY one! 😂😂
Great video! Thank you for sharing. An updated picture of your bonsai could be cool.
So satisfying for some reason
The way they just bend the trunk makes my plant loving heart ache 😂 I'm terrified that I'd just end up breaking it haha!
Мне больше нравятся наблюдать большие деревья, свободно растущие на склонах гор...
loamall мой сад не достаточно большой, чтоб поместить в нем гору
I have 5 bonsai trees I got in 1977, they are beautiful trees now at almost 45 years old!
what kinds do you have?
great starter video. Thank you very much!!!
