Master Chan...I am always blown away by your personality. It is such a pleasure to listen to you and you always make me smile. I feel if more people in this world would have your outlook on life and a “ piece “ of your personality this world would be a better place!
he acts just like my grandpa everone hates my granda pa
I love listening to him. I suffer from complex PTSD and whenever I get into my exhausted mode, I simply either watch a wonderful film showing animals, or I watch this channel. And almost all I know about Bonsai, I learnt from this inspiring and encouraging master.
Were you in the war?
keep this man alive !!!
Thank you for donating your time and knowledge to the world. Your knowledge will be treasured for centuries.
you’ve inspired me to go on a walk and take cuttings from the neighbourhood!
It's not a question of money. I always learn so much from you. I appreciate all your videos.
The nicest thing about taking cuttings cuttings is that it is the easiest way of sharing odd or unusual plants with your friends and neighbors.
I keep coming back to this video to remind myself what it looks like.
Dr. Chan, I have been getting plants to grow for the last 70 years and I have been BONSAIING for the last 58 years, I am still learning new things from you, THANK YOU. This is another heavy video, very full of information. I finally heard you on quite a few things, you are not saying things will not work, you are saying, "the better way is". I can't argue with 95%. Thanks for the reminder about transportation, you have to slow everything down.
Just, thank you so much.
Umm, your forearms are awesome. Love to see the results of a lifetime of physical labor. Love the videos!
Thank you mr. Chan. I love your videos. I hope you live 1,000 years more so you can keep making these awesome videos.
Okay, I'm around 35 seconds in and I'm already subscribing. I probably won't attempt bonsai in the next year or so, but I can't deny the charisma and enthusiasm you bring to your material. Thanks!
always a boss. peter chan rocks
He knows his stuff
Thank you so much for this video. As a beginner it can be quite difficult to start a collection because so many teachers only show techniques on advanced trees! It's really helpful to get instruction on the very beginnings of a planting.
Exactly the video that I've been searching for. Thank you!
Watching this is so relaxing..we need more people like you in the world. Thanks for the video I’m going to try propagating thru cuttings.
I just love this man. He is the Holy Grail of knowledge. I do wonder how often they need watering and do you mist them as they are a bit more delicate? And where do you all keep them during this stage, must it be indoors?
Bonsai Class with Master Chan -the perfect start to the day. Knowledge and friendship shared.
Peter...I am returning to your library for videos I’ve not seen!!! Fantastic!!
One of my favorite activities! Thank you for the video on the subject- I didn't know you could actually make root cuttings with some species, so I'll have to experiment with that a bit on my own.
7.08 I'm in stitches! Peter you are a legend thank you for all your wonderful lectures
You are a true inspiration and a fount of information - thank you! In this video you exactly express my own feelings of the joy of finding something - be it seed or snipping - that I've stuck in soil flourishing and growing!
Thanks for the lesson. Gives me confidence to try again.
Thank you so much for these videos , you are an inspiration
I love watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate it.
This was by far the most informative video I have seen on this topic. Thank you Master Chan! Your wisdom is so obvious and amazing.
My learning never ends when watching your videos Peter. Thank you for all your efforts in teaching all your followers the art of Bonsai
Thank you and your staff for posting this. It's is very informative. I'm learning alot.
Master Chan, I’ve been watching and learning from you for a few years now. I am so grateful for the knowledge you share. I only have about 25 trees that I care for but I get so much joy from it. Thank you! I started 28 Japanese maples from clippings today. I will patiently wait for the outcome
Thank you for all the wonderful things you have learnt me already ,it is a pleasure to watch you.
wow.. again the best video i can learn from on propagation. thank you!
Thanks Mr Chan for the info you make it sound like any one can have results , makes me want to go try some right now. Big Fan
Thank you very much Master! Loves all your videos
Awesome!
I did Juniper (San Jose) cuttings for the first (started them last Fall).. Checked them recently this Spring and 11 out of 20 rooted. I'm very excited :D
I will make a video of them soon :)
Edit:
This video motivated me to try more cuttings today, lol (especially since it’s Spring right now, the best time.. it’s either now, or I have to wait another year for optimal growth)...
I just did today... 6 nanking dwarf-cherry cuttings and 6 satsuki azalea cuttings... I’ve never attempted cuttings of these neither. I hope they will root! 🙏
I had a question,how did you manage it.I mean rooting medium,any hormones used,the climate or season when you started and how long did it take?.thank you.
@@letsbfriends19 Ask for "rooting hormone" at your nearby garden center, or order it online! :)
U are a great teacher ..love your videos.
You learn something new everyday,Thank you again sir.
Truly fascinating Peter next time I trim my trees I am going to grow them on instead of putting them in the compost bin ,thank you once again for sharing your experience and knowledge..😊😊😊😊
Thanks for this video peter....really handy info.
Peter, nice discussion of taking and preparing cuttings. However you might want to add a followup video on aftercare. For example, misting regularly can help greatly with root development as can using a heat matt under them. Overwatering can lead to root rot but under watering can desiccate and result in failure. When I ran a greenhouse in college we had a large propagation table filled with perlite and heating coils embedded under that. There was an automatic misting rig over it that ran at preset intervals. I had to root hundreds of plant cuttings for biology classes every semester. Wish I had access to that setup now! However it is possible to create a small home rooting setup quite easily with some grow lights, plastic sheeting, and the materials you discussed. Thanks for all the work you are putting into these videos.
If you have misting facilities this increases the strike rate considerably. I didn't show this as not many people can afford to have misting; besides - I dont use it and my results are very good.
Thank you Mr. Chan so much for cutting tricks and tips. Always fascinating to watch you.
I can't tell you how much I love your videos! Thank you for sharing what you know and allowing us to get to know you through your expertise! I wonder if you realize how beloved you are here on youtube, and how grateful we all are that you are out there in the world providing such useful knowledge to so many. You are a wonderful man, my friend! Good health and all the best to you!
This is so great! I've been trying so hard to do cuttings, but the guides are always so vague and complicated. This is so straight-forward and easy to understand. Thank you so much for this!
very interesting, you are the best Peter
Thank you for making these videos.
Thank you for the confidence booster!
Master Chan, I love your teaching, using examples and wise words. Every time when I have a bad day, I watch your videos and the sun start shining in my mind. It's a kind of meditation and relaxing following your tips, tricks and wisdom. Today I was laughing so loud that my husband came around asking what is so funny by creating bonsai. The point with cutting the finger was so absolutly funny, welldone.
Thank you for this important theme. For me plants growing from seeds and cuttings are like my babies. I have so many trees and plants grown in the last 2 decades from this and every time it's for me such a pleasure to be part of the great wonder of life and nature, seeing the first tiny green coming trough the soil saying "Hello Mama, here I am". And some of them I spoil like my children. If I have problems to find an person who will look for them when I go on holiday with the caravan (quite often in a year) I take them with me!! My friends call me grazy. My husbands is not amused about this, but his wife is his queen and he has now arranged with this, so every time he left a space for them in the car. True love!
Take care, stay healthy, the bonsai world need you.
This is a fascinating bit of information, Master Chan. Thank you so much for sharing with us. Last evening, my son and I went to a near-by Wal-Mart store and I bought 2 healthy specimens of plants to be my first serious attempts at bonsai. One is a Japanese Holly and the other is a Chinese Holly. Beautiful condition and very healthy. I also got an unusual Jade plant called an Ogre Ears. It didn't take but a second to see how it got it's name......about half of it's leaves are shaped exactly like the ears of the cartoon character, Shrek; tubular with slightly angled ends. My goal is to turn it into a bonsai tree like I've seen some other folks do. Those leaves will make it a unique little tree.
Learnt so much from this, thanks for sharing
Loved this video. Thank you.
Sir, thank you so much for passing down all of you knowledge to us viewers. I saw one of your videos explaining the basics about bonsai about 5 months ago, before I left a terrible job. Today I bought my first juniper tree, have begun prunning and shaping it. I have to tell you I am enjoying my new hobby. In a way it has also saved my life as it takes away any of my worries. It's just about the tree and caring for it. Thank you!
Thank you, i enjoyed it immensely!
Fantastic video ...very..very informative...will be propagating lots come spring time..
So nice of you to share this knowledge. Wow.. Really appreciate and enjoy all of your videos. Thank you a lot.
Thanks for your horticultural knowledge 👍
Great lesson Peter thank you 🙏👍
Thanks again Peter, I have about 50 cuttings from my picea, and they are mostly staying green, some of the new needles died but we will see, the elms don't look too good but the video explained it a lot better on where to cut.
Many thanks, sir, for the many blessings of your kind and caring teaching that you provide us all.
Thank you so much for this video! I have always wondered, how one can get the plant without having to spend a fortune on it in the specific shops or make a voyage to the forest of fields. Your video has answered all the questions I had about propagation, an even the ones I was only about to have:)
I adore the way you explain everything and make the bonsai and gardening culture more reachable and affordable. Greetings and thanks from South Russia!
Wow, love it as always.
What an amazing video. Thank you so much
i bought a japanese elm a week ago, and thinned and tidied it this evening, all the shoots that i trimmed ive tried to plant as cuttings - ive got loads and loads! I used your matchstick rule of thumb and didnt get greedy - touch wood i get a dozen plants for the price of one!! cheers for the content again.
Thank you for the videos. Your sense of joy and fascination with gardening definitely shines through on these videos as well as being informative. Here's a thought from a mother of eight children, propagation of people already exists, not to be crude, it's called making babies. Also fascinating!
Last year I made several cuttings, in individual pots, of rosemary. Took alot of time and none of them rooted. This year I took a bunch of cuttings and just stuck them in a flat like yours and every one of them took. They make great little bonsai.
You are amazing, Sir. thank you for your wisdom and skill.
Great video! Keeping this one for reference!
thank you peter chan. your videos are very interesting! i like that you explain lots of details, but at the same time, make bonsai super accessible for everyone.
Can I keep cuttings indoors over the winter since I don't have a greenhouse?
@@rosemariehaas7143 definitely
I really enjoyed - my garden is now full of pots with cuttings ;-)
Wonderful!!! Thanks! The project will start tomorrow...
I love your videos, you're really kind
Humbling, thank you very much.
Thanks for this detailed explanation.
Another Great video as usual.
Very helpful. Thank you!
I had an emergency back in the summer, builders needed a couple of trees taken out as they were too close to a new build extension. One was an Acer, lovely piece about 15ft tall.
I managed to dig out a reasonable rootball, still appears to be surviving, however to reduce the mass I lopped off a large branch, I've taken several cutting from it and even saved a mini branch of about 12" ~ this was before I saw this video.... but.. knowing Peter's love of spagnum moss and having seen his air layerings... they're all in spag moss in pots.... with shoots growing :) yes even the stump of branch - hey why not? The principle is pretty much the same as air-layering. If this works it will be my medium for cuttings. I know the test will be winter, I'll keep a close watch on temperatures.
By the way Peter - good use of a Wickes 'builders tray' (the black tray he mixes the potting soils in) I use the same for all sorts of applications inc oil drip trays for trucks at work.
Excellent video!
Lessons to be learned ... thanks Peter.
Gracias por compartir su conocimiento en el arte del bonsai
Heron, you should do a live stream video because you can put in for donations to your channel. Just a suggestion for you , I love this stuff. Thank you Heron!
I'm not sure Mr Chan is in it for the money. I believe he genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge. A truly wise man.
Very good advice!!
Thankyou so much peter what a great vid . I have just in the last week took cuttings from 2 of my maples. Havent tried before so fingers crossed they will take. Both are palmatum dissectum one is purple and the other green.
How did it go?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Woow, it was sooo educational, l searched a lot for cuttings like maple and etcetera but you cover them all in one video, thank u very much sir
Also if you could give us a tour on azaleas and sakuras and maybe pruning them would be awesome and delightful
Great vid!
Love watching
The other day I went to my mom home and got some heel cuttings from her Christmas tree and Albert Spruce . And I got some soil that is for cuttings from Miracle Grow and I saved this video so that I do it correctly. I wish I could you a picture. I can't wait to see what happens. Thank you for your lesson. 🌲🌱🍃🌿☺☺☺Sincerely
Patricia Ann Griggs
Hi Peter. You mentioned root cutting in a video once before and at the time I had never heard of it. Shortly after hearing this I had cause to root prune a hawthorn. I had two pieces of root about 3 or 4 inches long and about 1.1/2 inches thick with a few feeder roots on one side. I planted them both in pots with the thick piece of root level with the surface of the soil. Like a log lying on the surface. Both of them pushed out multi trunks along the top of the log.
Thanks Peter I will be trying some soft wood cutting tomorrow
Thanks, great job.
thanks alot for the usefull tips
Mr. Peter, thank you very much!
This is brilliant!! You seem like a wonderful person. Would love to meet you in person!...Come to Florida, USA! :) Thank you for your selfless and thoughtful advice.
Master Chan, I am a new subscriber and I have learned so much already. My question for today is: “After the newly cut plant starts to root can you leave them outside for the winter, should you at least bring them into the garage, or do they need to be kept in a greenhouse & above a certain degree all winter?”
Just found your video on overwintering and that answered my question 🙂.
Very inspiring watching your videos as many other subscribers shared in their opinions, i can't really get enough of it, and the way you are taking and explaining about bonsai made me start growing my own bonsai trees. I got 4 junipers and 4 japonese cedars. In the process of poting and pruning them plants i got some (by my opinion) very nice cuttings witch I have sticked in damp medium, and my question is, can I grow juniper communis and cryptomeria japonese cuttings at this time of the year without the rooting powder?
Thank You very much for sharing all that knowledge, best wishes!
Thank you! I am trying this with some Tulip Poplar prunings I had today. Whether I make them full trees or bonsai, we will see! Thank you for the treasure trove of knowledge that is your UA-cam channel.
Also, I had a laugh at 25:05 - "You've got to get rid of these suckers"!! 😆😆
Great video
Excellent video Sir . Thank you.
"Cuttings. I don't know why it fascinates people, but I can understand why. It certainly fascinates me."
congratulations on the quote! really helps out people who are so eager to watch, they need a sneak preview of what hes going to say before they have watched the video! bravo!
I watched that clip like five times to figure out what he was trying to say and have come to realize that the full quote is actually “Many of you have asked me to a video about cuttings. I don’t know why it fascinates people, but I can understand why. It certainly fascinates me”. I think what he meant was “Many of you have asked me to a video about cuttings. I don’t know why it fascinates people, but I can understand why you request the video. It certainly fascinates me too”. It’s still convoluted, but it doesn’t collapse on itself like the original quote. Also I love this man, he is a treasure.
@@masterroshi5573 strange thing to get upset about
@@joshuaspellslinger4102 Yep. Probably just his way of talking/thinking, maybe a Chinese thing. It's on other videos too. He's seems very polite and probably doesn't like to assume the reasons for why other people like something
224,000 views, I took his quote as he has not spoken to all the folks that would like to learn his thoughts/ techniques on cuttings. Cloning is like a little plant birth.
Yes I am glad you did this video🌿🌿🍃🍃💚💚💚👧
Very informative!!
Thank you for a great lesson 🌱🌲🌳🌴🌵🌿🤗💖💥
Great Video and advice :) I've grown cuttings for Hydrangea, Hebe, Buddleia, Spirea & Lavender. Most of these plants are now on my channel header and I made a new Hebe video which shows these cuttings on their journey into big shrubs. Happy Growing :)
