You are a true teacher. I am always interested in hearing your thoughts on all topics of life.
Sharing what I have learnd the hard way...Life was HARD at one time!
You have a lot of life experience. In my opinion; you should share anything you have to say, about anything. And besides, giving your channel more unique qualities is a good thing for growth.
Influence, trying to leave something good behind!
I think you need to tell what you want, I watch your videos with interest.
Thanks!
Stay tuned.
Just go for whatever comes to your mind when you shoot video and care for the bonsais 😊.
I have you r"permission".
Thaniks!
Personally, I would love to hear all about your other thoughts from business, relationships, and ethics. Please spread the knowledge.
Thanks for the "permission".
Will do...stay within reason.
would love to see an updated collection tour to see all the trees again
Asian concept of karma is logical causality!
Action results in a reaction....
I think you're right that everything is related! Your philosophies on life already peek through your bonsai advice, and I would love to hear more.
thakns!
Your experience and philosophy already applies to much more than Bonsai in my opinion. So I highly appreciate your thoughts and can only encourage you to continue. Most people will certainly see, as you pointed out, everything is connected. Furthermore, it gives the channel such a cozy feeling ... it's like listening to my grandfather and his stories he gained from a long time. Sweet memories.
Thank you so much Milton!
Wow!
That is more , muchj more than I deserve!
Thank you!
As always a great Q&A, Thank you Milton.
Thanks!
I was taught to listen to people who have been successful in life, so I value any wisdom you wish to share.
O am doing OK. Success is a reltive term.
Burying the bonsai under a couple inches of soil is a fool proof method. We hit 16 degrees fahrenheit here in Seattle this past winter and all our bonsai friends did the same thing. Every tree lived. Some we didn't even bury and they were fine.
Something to consider is the quality of the bonsai pot, which I think you shared in a previous video. If it's fired in high temperature fire, it won't crack when it freezes.
Thanks for sharing to the BH community!!!
Dr. Chang, the reason I enjoy your videos above other content creators in the bonsai space is because of your willingness to share your wealth of wisdom and knowledge in a variety of different subjects. Please continue to share your thoughts on business, family, philosophy, religion, etc. I am interested in what you have to say and what I can learn from you!
Thank you for the support!
I think you should post anything you want. I would love to hear some philosophy from you. I'm already here and I'd watch anything you produce. I wish I could post pictures of my progress because of you. I had a traumatized Dragon Willow that got eaten by a goat, it's been two years and this spring it bounced back with a vengeance from your advice. Thank you so much.
🙂
Great to feel useful!
thanks!
I don’t view it off topic, you are incredibly wise. Please share more!
Thank you !
You know I would love to sit down and have a chat with you. You’re a very interesting person. But I would only share bits of information because this is after all a bonsai channel. I personally would love to know your background. Interested in your property. Your corporate background. But keep it about bonsai.
I think it’s best to use the recommended fertilizer for the plants you’re working with. I use 18 4 10 for most anything except confers. It damaged my Scheffleras. I changed my process on recommendations from the Bonsai Supply Company. So one fertilizer is not always good for everything.
Love your videos have a great day.
I wlll stick mostlly to bonsai...extension: what bonsai taught me about...And separately on a random subject...which you can skip.
Right?
Would love to hear your thoughts on living an ethical life.
Thanks for the video idea!
There are a lot of knowledge in bonsai that can be applied to everyday life. It teaches for example, that we can't control everything. We can only guide the tree, but not control it. Even if we could, it would be disrespectful, since the tree is doing most of the work.
I do think, life advices would be a good content from you. You seem to have a very diverse background, and a lot of experience in a vast area of subjects. If I had to guess, you were never really laser focused on only one thing (tough that term is quite ironic considering your career 😅), and you were always interested in a lot of things at the same time. I think this channel could follow the same pattern.
Your content is great nevertheless. Keep it up, as it helps a lot of us.
Thank you!
Love to learn from. reading and talking to people. People shaew there deep insight only if you show an interest/
Hi there!. I´m not expert on the topic, I'm actually a begginer with only couple of Bonsai cultivated but I´ve cultivated cactus for over 20 years more less and I would like to share my expirience with cold weather and Winters in Chicago. I moved to Chicago 4 years ago and I hesitated to start cactus cultivation again. Last year (2023) I tried with three cactus considered as a cold hardy plants as below as -10F. I planted it in a shallow terracota pot and kept them outside almost the whole winter except for couple of nights that we reached -20F. Something that I did that I believe help them to bear the cold is to keep them in the porch under the ceiling. Having that cover made a huge difference and I can tell that in freezing nights, the water exposed to the open sky turns into ice for sure but the water under cover do not unless really extrem temperatures like -20F. I hope this helps and thanks for this videos and for sharing all your knowledge. Best regards
Thank you for sharing your experience and your techniques! I'm sure others will find this information very useful! Let's all help each other :)
Yes - you should share your thoughts on life, and your acquired wisdom for how to navigate life. thx
Just don't want to waste hard earn experience others can benefit from.
Thank you for addressing my question. I caught a glimps of your little dog. Was that a Long Haired Chihuahua? I had 2 of them, they both passed on now, but I do have a chihuahua mix I got from rescue. She is my little buddy. But I really do miss my tiny little fur balls so much. Once my chi mix passes on I will get another long hair one. I just love how tiny and cuddly they are. Yours was beautiful from the little peek I got.
It is a Pomeranian! Energetic and smart.
That's my pomeranian, Bon Bon, named after bonsai! I will show you more of him in my next Q&A. Please stay tuned :)
@@bonsaiheirloom I definately will!! I love his name! My neighbor had pom's for the longest time. They were such sweet dogs. Now he has Cavalier because he loved ours so much. We had them since 1995. But it's a long story how I have chihuahuas now. My husband still has his cavalier and I have my chi rescue. I look forward to seeing more of Bon Bon.
I am making live lodge pole pine into arches all Around my Garden in a few months they grow into each other. And will dig some Roadway Pine Trees out from under the Road that the snow plows have cut every winter Pre made Bonsai. Love your channel
What a grand novel landscaping idea. It reminds me of arches in France.
Thank you for sharing.
Would love to hear about how you stay motivated and interested during those inevitable slow times (both growing bonsai and in life)
I am an eternal optimist...always see the positive sidew of what it could be!
thank you so much sir for all your videos very informative..
My impression is that you don't spend a lot of time off topic. I think people enjoy a certain amount of openness about your life.
Have you used Miracid fertilizer on bonsai? It seems like a natural choice for azaleas, but I have a friend who uses small amounts on many species and the foliage on his trees has such good deep color.
It is great that this person has found a formulation that works.
I am sticking to mine too!
Thank you very much, As always!
You. are welcome!
Hello Milton, could you please share the fertilizer you mentioned? I’ve always wanted to use a slow release but haven’t been able to find any, thank you and hope to see more of your videos.
There are all kinds of slow release at any nursery and they should work fine. The one I found is for lawn food.
Thank you for all the good information. How about in really extremely hot areas like south east Texas where it is constantly over 100° in the summertime. Do we put our bonsai in full sun? Mainly maple and ficus and some boxwood.
Japanese definitely in partial shade. Just have to water them frequently so the rootball does not dry out...if you cannot, trade slower growth by putting them ins partial shade...or set up a timer to water them several times a day...And put them in a tube to soak (like my Goldberg video), or plant them in a deeper pot.
Enough options? Can't find nature, the rootbacll will dry out fast in hot days!
I would love to hear of your life experience!
OK, please stay tuned.
'simle straight forward story...to provide encouragemen tot he disadcantaged.
Hi Milton, im a big fan of your content. I am about to plant my first juniper procumbens in the ground to thicken and mature faster. How do you care for it while it is in the ground? do you prune its? if so how do you do that process?
I would not prune it much, because Procumbens is a very rapidly spreading ground cover (faster than J.P nana), still it is slow to thicken. Oune everfy year or two to thicken and also gets closer to your vision as well.
Take a lot of cuttings...easy!
Have you seen a successful rainbow eucalyptus bonsai before? I cannot find any pictures on the internet so I assume it’s not possible for some reason.
I have not come across one named that.
Sorry!
I have 2 ginseng ficus from a supermarket. it appears to have its branches grafted on to a trunk that looks like a ginseng. have u seen these before?
Nope.
Marketing gimmicks never ends!
What are your thoughts on using petrified wood as wood over rock plantings?
Lovely idea I am not thinking of the beuatiful color of the "wood", rather the texture of the bark part. Color would distract from the tree.
In this case I have a piece of petrified wood that is very similar in color to the bark of the tree/exposed roots.
