Nice to see the Crocs in action!
hi nigel
@@Bw40099 Hello Ben!
Nice to see 2 of my favourite bonsai youtubers in one place! Looking forward to your future videoe
Hei nigel. Are you thinking the same as me. Hmm that ficus throw leaves beacuse is to dry and in bad soil.
Thank you so much Peter. Your videos have given me the courage to take my bonsai skills to the next level. Watching you do what you sometimes call “boring” work is invaluable to a novice like me. So please keep the videos coming.
These videos always fill me with joy. I'm so happy to see the folks that help you out. If I was 40 years younger and tall and strapping like your helpers, I would love to work happily at your side. Unfortunately, I'm older and can just keep up with what I have. None the less, thank you for these videos! You've encouraged and emboldened me. I just hacked away at some of my bonsai that I was just not happy with. I see the benefit of being "bold". A lesson learned. In bonsai and in life. Thank you!
Just enjoy what you do. Nothing else matters.
I am 55 and dont think I could keep up with Peter.
@@edie944 You are a youngster. I hope you know how old I am ?
I love watching Peter prune. It reminds me of John McEnroe when he smashed all the roses next to the court When he sat down again McEnroe noticed he left one standing and calmly got out of his chair and destroyed the last standing rose with his racquet. Great Video Herrons & Peter.
When was that and at what tournament? I would have love to see that.
I really want to support bonsai growing in my area thanks to this channel. Thank you, Mr. Chen!
You have given me the confident to prune my bonsai. You are a good teacher, I think I did a good job. Now I need to repot it. Thank you!
Master Chan is so comfortable with himself and so we become with ourselves. Thanks to Bonsai culture!
Oh! So glad to see a program about ficus. Thank you!!!!
I love ficus trees . I have one that is 20 years old now that we can mother because it has made so many trees . Thanks Peter for the video 🙏
It's always nice to see a real master at work. Thank you for the lesson sir.
The last tree in your zen room at 34min, the trunk is massive!!! What a beautiful tree!! 40min went by so fast watching this amazing video!
Loved! Always learn something from you sir. I am in Brazil and I do have a ficus benjamina. It is so vigorous that I trim almost every month. But I may say that it started to grow much better when I changed the soil mix to a more "bonsai type" of soil. I mixed perlite, sphagnum peat moss and burned rice bark. Thanks for your effort on making these videos and sharing your knowledge and wisdom, not only bonsai expertise.
All star cast this week. Great video, thanks
i have learnt so much from you. i consider you my guru for learning Bonsai art. Would like to see how it went after re-potting. I have many ficus trees with me. starter a year back.
Thank you for this great video Peter! I hope you and yours are staying safe, happy, and healthy during this difficult time. Keep up the good work!
Yes we are all safe - hope you are too. Where do you live?
Sweet smile from 'helper' to camera....have way thru' this informative video.
Thank you for these massive educational tips i just got myself Ficus and Chinese elm (12 and 6 years respectively) for indoors these are my first old bonsai :)
Ive got some material (elm) from forest near me it landed outside and i hope it will get some growth in spring outside.
Wishing all the best!
These trees are some that helped inspire me to learn more about Bonsai.. thank you 🙏..
Your coworker ist top notch!:) thanks a lot!
This video was really great peter thank you as always 🙏🏾
Love these videos, keep up the awesome work!!!
Going outside in the night right now to find my very neglected ficus (yes, I am a scaredy cat pruner) so I can work out in the daylight what it needs. It's autumn here in Australia, so probably not pruning time but after this great video, I have no excuse when pruning time comes around. Still wish I was fifty years younger and could beg you for a job, Peter. I wish to see the shapes you see in each unique tree, to be bold and courageous with pruners and to have a couple of big strong lads to help move things around. Enjoying these videos very much while in lockdown. Stay well from Nana Kaye in Australia.
One of the things I like about your trees is they have a "wild" appearance. The "perfect" trees I have seen from other artists are sublime as well. Perhaps the character of the artist is reflected in their work.
Of course it is an art form.
Greetings from India. Happy to know that soon you are going to demo tropical bonsais and that to from a temperate country. Congratulations.
I have 30-40 year old ficus here in India. Multiple varieties. Yes the roots grow like hell.
Do you sell any that can be shipped to the united states? I would possibly be interested
Edith Murphy me too I’ll take 8
Are you selling any? I’m right here in India
How big can they get?
@@ikillprettythingz7947 very big
Your videos are great alway learn something watching you thank you so much ,stay safe Pete hopefully this will be over soon.
Thank you so much for making this series of videos for the appartment dweller!
The tray of cuttings looks like a miniature forest. Nice.
They are all healthy n strong, beautiful Ficus Trees indeed Peter. Can't wait for the next one, stay safe always to all...cheers.
Those large ficuses Look awesome! The Information at ~14:00 about scratching the tree to make it bud back was also very valuable, will try that on my ficus! ☺️🌿
I am also going to try it on mine right now!
Would this work on other trees like Chinese elms?
Do you think arial roots can produce the same way ?
Those ficuses r really huge, n how fast u hav worked on them all, super speed👌👌
Is there an update to these ficus? I’m so interested to see how they have grown!
Amazing videos. I was meant to be at your nursery having my day lesson but with the lockdown it hasn't happened. Thanks for makes all the latest videos, I havnt missed all your amazing trees in spring. Fingers crossed I will get to vist this year.
It would be great if you could make a video like this to show a large Japanese maple pre bonsia.
Awesome again. Thank you sir for more this video.
in vietnam, ficus is among favorite bonsai trees which people love to collect and trade
I love your trees, trunks beautiful.
Another great video! Thank you.
Awesome Sensai, thanks, I'm moving my Ficus to bigger trays. 😀
fabulous...really enjoyed this
You sir are a tree loving genius
Such an interesting work on Ficus - my most favorite plant species especially in the context of bonsai-making! Many thanks for the presentation! By the way, I am from and in Nepal.
Rewatching and I just love hearing of India and about the trees there.
Peter the second tree ..as you have it sitting... it resembles a lion with you just cutting the mane!! I love it!!!
i thought a deer with branches as antlers
Gorgeous trees.
Hatss off🙏🏻 to your hard work and dedication sir really impressive work
Beautiful.... Love from India 🇮🇳
Thanks, great video.
I had 6ºc last winter here in tropical Aus, that lasted for several weeks and my fig trees, both as bonsai and in the yard had to go through that and they were none the worse for it.
Beautiful trees
That is a sexy pot. That's a nice tree too. Special ordered a pot for a nice ficus bonsai I have.
I need this one, nice presentation.
I wish I was under quarintine with Herons and Peter!!!!
14:24 Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for. :)
They are beautiful
That's the most unique ficus bonsai I've seen
This video is very useful for me.
Thanks sharing your video sir..
Herons Bonsai could you please do a follow up on some bonsais you trim now, in about 6 month?
So´we can see the growth
Beautiful bonsai
Thank you for another great video. I learn a lot from the videos from the channel and try to apply the teachings myself. One thing that i do notice is that the volume of the audio in the video sometimes increases when the camera is close to Peter. This may be something which could improve the videos even more. Keep up the good work
Big size and beautiful
Always when mister Chan says “ light prune” I prepare myself for a good video.
I like your channel herons sir😘😘😘😍😍👍👍🤗🤗
I love to see how this tree is downing a year or so after this video was made.
Mr. Chan, thank you for your video, very informative and useful. Could you make a video about wiring? Especially how long the wire should be left on the different types of trees (deciduous and coniferous), the best time for wiring, when the wire should be take off. Thank you and best wishes.
Bagus sekali bonsainya
A question about the 2nd tree in this video. On one side, I think the front there were two branches that were very close together, one seemed to cross the other, but you did not eliminate either branch. Did you have a reason for leaving both of them, which I missed? I always enjoy watching you trim trees at repotting sessions. You always seem to know exactly where and what to cut. Thank you for sharing your insights and your techniques.
Great!
Look at all that Fn' mud. I like it.
Please could you make a video on starting and caring for a small/new ficus bonsai. I have a small one with just 2 branches and big leaves and I know I need to do something with it but just don't know where to start! It would be very helpful! Do you remove leaves or prune before winter or spring?
I have different variety of ficuses in my garden here in the Philippines. I have also different tropical bonsai trees here like kamuning, sampaloc, calyos, bouganville, money tree, bignay, and more.
Lovely! My baby ficus has just started growing little leaves. It's loving life :) Do you think you can show us how to make grafts?
Ficus bengalensis is best tree for a bonsai too
I have just air layered a thich branch and got roots in 40 days
Is the best👍
Whenever I feel down, which is a lot because I got laid off due to the virus. So...I watch one of your videos and it is tranquilizing. Your passion for plants and Bonsai is wonderful. I have started several Bonsai's from scratch. Would you recommend buying an established Bonsai, so I can enjoy it instead of waiting 10 years?
I hope things are going better for you now :)
I have three ficus retusa bonsai trees at home. They are growing strong and I had them for about 3-4 years now. None of them ever lost their leaves (apart from the odd few) like the ones in this video. It could have something to do with the temperature I guess...
Good day Peter! I’ve just watched this video - and I have a few questions for you.
I live in Dubai, the weather is quite the opposite of your temperate weather in the UK.
I bought a ficus in a hemispherical training plastic pot in Feb 2020 (ideal weather - 25-28 C during the day and 16-17 C at night). I placed it outdoors in bright shade and it did beautifully until end May. Beautiful, lush growth with new leaves every day.
With the onset of summer, it started dropping leaves at an alarming rate. Towards the end of June (when the temp was touching 45 C), I moved it indoors (still 26-27 C) and cut down on watering. It continued dropping leaves quite vigorously until about 2 weeks ago.
With the autumnal equinox the days are shorter and temperatures have now dropped to the high 30s. Leaf drop is down.
Can you suggest a good time for me to do a hard prune and repot before moving it outdoors again? With the sun lower in the sky, my Eastern/Southern facing balcony gets nearly 4-6 hours of direct sun and will continue doing so until late Dec/early Jan.
Also, can I répot into a similar sized hemispherical fibre clay pot?
Thanks for your help!
Mantap👍👍👍
Good afternoon! Im repotting my Ficus today. Should iput it back into the sun immediately as usual or ease it back into the sun little by little to avoid shocking it. Also should I go ahead and put fertilizer on it or wait a couple months; what's best? The temperature here is Day: 23-30°C, Night: 13-17°C daily from this point on. Thanks for all of the help and guidance.
I think a ficus will be one of my next projects. I love the look so much, but it’s always looked like more work to me. Lol.
42:00 watching Peter hack away the mud soil, suddenly the image of Wolverine came to mind. Love to watch this man in action, he spares no energy getting things done!
It's @16:00 not 42:00
After seeing this I had created nodes in my ficus now I can see more new shoots coming out from nude branches
Excellent video Peter. Living in Canada with limited space I find that ficus is best for me. Is it possible for you to do a video on feeding and when the proper time to feed each species of tree.
I hope you, your family and staff are safe and sound.
Cheers,
Tom in Canada 😉👍🏻🇨🇦
I don't know if you saw that one already, but Peter has made a video about feeding in general and also a video especially about caring for ficuses.
High nitrogen fertilizer sparingly once a week in summer, once every two or so in winter or less depending on light levels. If they start to pushing new growth, that's generally your cue.
So you did the re-pot 2 months ago? Is it okay to prune ficus hard right now or is it too late? Zone 7. Thank you!
Fully in pruning mode😂👍
Thanks Peter for another great video. Question: I've read that you need to leave at least one leaf on a Ficus Benjamina branch or you will get dieback. Your thoughts / experience?
No - dont have to - they are so vigorous
A like from india
l like ponsai too much .and i am intresting your videos i like yo ask you about my tree it is loosing leaves quickly ...
i want to ask what is the best way to save it ..
Indonesia sangat melimpah jenis ficus
Prior, you mentioned not to work on roots and branches at the same time. Can you repot and trim branches, in general, or is that by variety?
Looking for that Jade tree prune?
Is there a link for it?
Great videos.
March, red and white wrist band... Bulgaria :)
hahaha love the cricket reference
Do the plants have any type of shocks period when they are moving from clay soils to your good soil?
No - they usually respond better
Please make a video on how to grow ficus from cutting and also from seedlings.
Peter, I just got your Bibel!
Fikus is good
Do the root cuts need to be sealed in case of greater cuts, or is the sap sufficient there as well?
Still struggling with mine it almost died ? Due to my log fire in the same room. It dried right out so I moved it near the patio doors added more solid and fed it. Now that it’s started to regrow the central trunk is very dry I don’t want to kill it by over pruning but since I pruned it about 8 weeks ago it began to grow. Any advice would be great.
Such magnificent trees you have there Peter.
I really like it when the ficuses have straight aerial roots. I only have a very young Ficus Ginseng without such roots sadly. Is there a way to encourage them, or do they just randomly appear when the tree grows or do they just grow in high humidity climate?
