What happens without the pond baskets? I’ve transplanted multiple junipers and pines into normal little plastic pots and they have been doing fine. Does the increased oxygen just increase growth rate? Wish I wouldve thought of that. I’ve been using great soil, a mix of extra fine gravel and bonsai soil and sometimes good mulch with added nitrogen for my trees though, which could explain my success so far. Knock on wood they turn out well.
Hey! Without pond baskets, your junipers and pines can still thrive, as you've experienced, but there are some differences in root development and overall growth that you might notice. Pond baskets are designed to allow more air to reach the roots, which increases oxygen availability. This encourages stronger, more fibrous root growth and can help prevent root rot by promoting better drainage. The increased oxygen can indeed lead to faster growth rates and healthier trees, especially in the early stages of development. In normal plastic pots, roots tend to circle around the inside of the container, which can sometimes lead to root binding.
@notionbonsai lol, with my hands and a tool to lose all the dirt and roots. Cutting some, too. After a week or so, the tree is dead. I'm I just being too rough? I'm new to the bonsi building. I was wondering what I'm doing wrong
Hi! 😊 This is a common misconception, In reality, Bonsai are probably the most cared for trees on the planet. Everything we do is to ensure that a tree is at optimal health. Before doing any work like this, the tree must be strong and healthy. We never want to risk a tree dying (especially some that are crazy expensive!)
Im starting my bonsai efforts with 2 Chinese Privets. I don't know how to prune them. I do know that I don't want the usual drastic foliage reduction and trunk manipulation. Any suggestions for a beginner?
Braiding seedings together can be a good way to get a nice thick tapred trunk for bonsai fyi. Braid then grow out til the graft togther and form one unteresting trunk. Sometimes with some species you can get interesting jin and shari deadwood from the individual plants in a braid dying off ...accidentally or intentially... and have deadwood thats mouled in as if from one tree and twosing and bending through and around the trunk. Wh7ch can be pretty cool. You dont have to braid either but can like plant a group together and tie or pin them together or graft small onto thicker one to thicken trunk or improve nebari or get a branch in a bare spot etc. Even drill a hold through a trunk and thread a seedling throughto come out where tou want a new branch, grow it abit then cut off where inserted and wahlah. Anyway lots of options and fun you can have there. I always like to have a binch of young seedlings spare for any bonsai species im working on especially decidious and vrisd leaf stuff.
One of your best short video for me. Well done!
That’s awesome, you just taught me so much. Thank you. 😊❤🎉
Beautiful🎉🎉
This is so fascinating
I just bought my first pond baskets thanks to this video. Cheers man!
Ahh nice one! You will see explosive growth from them in just a few years!
Beautiful ❤
Dude. Love this 💚
Hey thanks!
Awesome stuff!
😊
Great video mate! Just need to make sure people don’t do the same with collected Pines in terms of washing the roots
Why?
@@teiskovich because it shocks the tree and washes away beneficial fungi. Generally you don't wash roots.
Collecting materials? What is that? Like off the side of the road or in the forest?
This one was collected from my grandmother's garden 😁
Great info, I have some that are in the pond baskets and wondered how you store them for winter
I wonder what a citrus tree would look like bonsai. It would be so cool to see little tiny kumquats or finger limes.
What is that ? Looks like a Boxwood or holly

Hey! What kind of soil you are using, may it be a normal soil.
What is the name of this tree's species? Obrigada
Buxus sempervirens or box. Commonly used as a hedge. Can suffer blight and caterpillars. Lovely small oval leaf
It's actually Lonicera nitida, often used to replace boxwood. :)
nice 🎉
I have a question about pond baskets. How do we manage the soil when watering in a pond baskets?
When giving the roots a "wash," did you just rinse them in plain water? Or was there anything else in it?
That is one nice thicc....trunk!
It was really pretty. I love it.
Name of the plant please 🙏🏼
This tree is called a Lonicera (Hedging Honeysuckle)
If this is a lonicera nitida they're very bendy. Just wanted to point that out.
how to keep it small?
Nice ❤😊
Do bonsai require a lot of sunlight?
Different species need more light than others but all trees need light to survive 🙂
When i attack the roots, the tree never makes it. How do you know when to stop?
@@B_ponds What do you mean attack? 😮

@@B_ponds For the majority of trees I would only advise repotting during early spring! what time of the year is it for you?
@@notionbonsai rn it's end of summer
@@B_ponds Best to wait until spring before repotting!
Bonsai . The art of keeping a plant on the brink of death

Are you from Australia?
Nice lonicra😊

Where do you buy those pond pots from?
I got mine on Ebay 🪴
Is this a boxwood?
Lonicera 😃
Let’s go bro
How long does it take to become like that?
From when I started just 2 years!
I have bunch of adenium that didn't sell and I am thinking about turning them into bonsai. They were braided and some od them died. 🤔
