Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In this episode, I check out the Bonsai Soil from @WeareTheBonsaiSupply that is now available in Canada! Then i test it out by using it to pot up the BIG Jade cutting that Connor gave me recently.
Apologies for my voice as my allergies were really bothering me that day!

I like how you all share cuttings with each other! Very cool. And I didn't know Home Depot sold the soil from Bonsai Supply in the U.S., so thanks for letting us know.
🌟Thank you Diana! Glad it helped! 👍
Awesome Jay, It should do well!!
🌟Thank you Nigel! I sure hope so! 👍
I love these tiny cuttings from Connor! Sweeeeep! 💚💚💚
🌟Tiny… bwah ha ha ! 🤣😂🐦💙
Wow! Some amazing cuttings came off that Jade! You got your cutting and potted it too!😄 Connor sure gave us a great Boost! A bit of a head start! Well potted sir! Good to know that soil is available!
🌟Thank you Maryso! Instant bonsai sized cuttings!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAY. MUCH HEALTH AND HAPPINESS 🎉🎊
🌟Thank you Matt! 🐦💙
What a gorgeous Jade cutting..jeez Louise love it…thanks for this video..look forward to updates and pruning
🌟Thanks Patti! 🐦💙
That’s a massive cutting!
🌟Thanks Jason! 🐦💙
Really a monster Jade for Jay!! nice one!!
🌟Thank you Cherie! Very funny! 🤣
Thanks for sharing this great look at the Bonsai Supply soil. Sorry for my late viewing.
🌟Thanks Kale! There’s no deadline on my videos. You can watch them over and over and over anytime … 😂🤣🐦💙
Nice cutting Jay. That'll make quite a prominent bonsai and a real talking point. 👍👍
🌟I just hope I have room inside this winter for it!!!
Beautiful jade cutting Jay...👍👍👍
🌟Thanks Alex!
WOW that's some cutting! Cool, you've got the soil over there now. I've been using their soil for all my topicals for the last 2-3 years and they love it!
🌟Thank you Ali! That's good to know! Glad it's working for you! 👍
I like the pot and that is a beauty of a cutting you got Jay. It definitely puts my Jades into the shadows :)
🌟Thank you Xavier! Yes, thank goodness for good friends like Connor to share cuttings! 👍
Amazing Cutting Jay, 😎 Jerome and Mary’s Bonsai Soil is great in my opinion, I like mixing it with other soils for different plants 🤣
🌟Thank you Gerardo! Yes agree - like add more pine bark for deciduous s etc..👍
Epic opening Canadiana scene 🤣. Mind blowing that it will root and survive!!
Why do you wanna avoid rain ?
Awesomeness Jay !!
Have a great day!!
Cheers J&C 🌱🌱🌱
🌟Thanks Jason & Colleen. The Jade will rot if it gets water in cuts that haven’t scabbed over yet. 🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai ahhh ok !! Thanks !!
I’ve been wanting to buy the soil, except for the particle size. That pumice is huge! I haven’t seen how the particle size is for the shohin bag. I was also trying to ask if this soil would be good for development or refinement, but no answer yet. I support the bonsai supply for everything they do! Especially the educational purposes!
🌟Thank you iPheek! I plan to use it for development and refinement - if you learn something else please share! I didn't think the particle size was big - just perfect.I have an even bigger particle sized substrate from the Bonsai Guru that is great for pines etc. 👍
love the pot. great looking jade! hbd☀️🤩☀️🥳
🌟Thanks Christopher!
I'm l big Jade fan, basically the only plant I can keep alive. Last winter was my first winter and every outdoor plant died. I'm just south of you Temp wise so pretty damn cold. I must have 21 jades going at the office in my cube. Surprised management hasn't thrown a wrench in the mix.
Nice, thick cutting you've got there. I've had my little jades for a long time, they are very slow to thicken. I used to get seasonal allergies so bad I could hardly speak and would wake up in the middle of the night gasping for air. A friend finally talked me into trying to use raw, local honey every day. I always thought of that as an old wives tale. 2 tablespoons every morning for the past 5-6 years. Barely a sniffle.
🌟Thanks Alan! I heard of that honey trick.. maybe I’ll give it a try! Worst case.. it’s yummy honey! 😋
Wow! That is a cutting! Now you know that you don´t need to overthink position when planting if you put the tree in the middle of a round pot :). Ohh, do not water a jade cutting until at least 2 weeks after potting. They rot easily when they don't have roots. All the water they need is in the leaves. I tend to wait with first watering until leaves are shivering and dropping. Great vid as always.
🌟Thanks Magnus! This cutting has been sitting for a few weeks and scabbed/calloused over. Ok to water now. Fresh cutting - for sure! 🐦💙
Off the record. Check out: Chicago Botanic Garden Railroad. Parts 1&2. G gauge. Giant penjing with grow and clip methods to keep trees in scale. Great ground covers, houses, etc. Part 2, Mt. St. Helen erupting to scale. Super video. Found on this site: Garden Railroading Join the fun. I know your boys will enjoy it. Great ideas & houses are fantastic. Tom
Looks great Jay!! I bought the substrate after watching the video first time. I used it on my big Gollum Jade. I really like it!
🌟Awesome Carol! Keep me in the loop… only the next repot will determine how good it really is! 🐦💙
Great cutting and pot. My preference would be to use a wider pot. For me it would cause me to feel that the base of the jade is more stable. But everybody has different perspectives. Thank you for the video!
🌟Thank you gutzboy1! Good point - style versus practicality maybe?
@@BlueJayBonsai Not from a practical or functional standpoint but asthetically. The jade doesn't have much nebari so when I envision it as a massive tree in the size of pot you're using, it causes me to think it's a massive tree on the verge of toppling over. It's just how my mind's eye interprets it--by no means am I saying others would experience the same as me.
Great video. I really like your pot selection you made. Beautiful jade!
🌟Thank you Bobcat! 🐦💙
The pot needs support so that the wind does not blow it over. Just a thought. Cool trunk.
🌟Thanks Tom! It’s a pretty heavy stoneware pot.. I’m not worried. 🐦💙
Big jade cutting indeed! You can make that into 2 trees
🌟Thanks Xin! You’re the second person to suggest that! 😃
Great tip on where to buy the soil!
🌟Thank you Stephan!!
Awesome “cutting”. I also like your pot selection. I’ve used Jerome’s soil mix with much success. Keep an eye on the watering though. It drains and dries out very quickly. Obviously that won’t be a problem with the Jade. Thanks, keep growing
🌟Thank you Matt! Thanks for the tip! I would treat the same as my similar self made mix or Bonsai Guy mix - and add extra pine bark for the more thirsty trees! 👍
Nice Jade. I had the urge to reach and catch it whenever you rotate it and the tree started to wobble 😅
🌟Ha ha, I could have used a second pair of hands for sure! 🤣🐦💙
I was wondering how you were going to keep it from toppling over. Nice job wiring it in Jay.
🌟Thank you Raymond! Hopefully that wire is temporary and it will stand on it's own roots! 👍
Amazing cutting and a lovely pot 🥰
🌟Thank you so much Christopher!😊
Nice cutting!
I have a husqvarna chainsaw with 18” bar if you need it next time for cuttings😂
Love it!
🌟I have a few trees that might need that chainsaw Jason! 🤣🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai Let me know anytime you need a ‘feller’ 🤓
Nice confluence of bonsai expertise: Jerome & Mari, Connor, and Jay of course!
I feel ashamed calling this Jade a cutting because it’s a tree already, but it will grow bigger for sure in such a good soil!
I had initially selected the same front you did, but the presence of the wire makes it less appealing… good thing it’s in a round pot!
And thanks for this mid week supplement to get through the week!
🌟Thank you Stefano! Yes, the wire is onlytemporaryy (I hope) but it does indeed ruin the front/back!
It looks like is has spent too much time looking at the sun from one direction. I would have the fat trunk pointing towards the light to encourage growth that side so it’s more balanced. When just looking at the trunks, having the big trunk to the front is definitely the best (well, in my opinion anyway). It’s going to be a beauty of a tree once the foliage is balanced.
🌟Thank you Birgitte! Yes - great points!
Hey Jay, nice substrate. Is the jade cutting already rooted?
🌟Thank you Jelle! No, not rooted - but they root easily. (but slow growing roots)
20 L (same as 20Q) of bonsai soil for 70$ is hella expensive though.
For reference, I can get (here in Spain) a 20L bag of each of the 4 ingredients for around 10€, so you could get 80L of the same soil for just 40€. Also it looks like it has a really big particle size, not good for small/medium trees.
Anyways, it turned out really nice, I'm sure it'll root and develop really well
🌟Thank you Edu! if you can get the ingredients for cheap - then fantastic for you! Pumice & lava are hard to get here.👍
yeah, I am thinking selling a kidney next year to buy some pumice 🤣
Better keep that one out of the wind good luck with it
🌟Thank you Bonsai by the Sea! It's one of the only times I am happy not to have the wind off the ocean!!
U can add some more soil to give strength to jade cutting as pot is too small … this is what I think 🤔
🌟Thank you Varuna Virdi! You may end up being right - time will tell! 👍
Nigel has done some vertical scarring of the trunk. Is this something you would consider?
🌟Thanks Michael! That was on a portulacaria, not a crassula.. but regardless at this time I am not a big fan of the scarring. So I am not planning to do it. But never say never!!!
That substrate is huge. 😮 It appears that you almost have to wire a tree in place to hold it because of the size of the substrate. Maybe if the tree had a good root structure, wires might not be needed. 🤔🌱
🌟Thank you Dave! It was a giant cutting with roots at all! But it must have roots now as it stands up on it's own.🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai what's your opinion on the soil after all this time??
@@dkstott29 They don't sell the smaller particle size in Canada or I would buy it instead. Works fine on my portulacarias, and some bigger outdoor trees though.
@BlueJayBonsai thanks , I have an order of these coming. I'm planning on using it with my PA's. I might mix some smaller substrate after I see it in person. 👍
@@BlueJayBonsai I did a 75 /25% mixture. 75% of the bonsai supply mix and 25% of some smaller bonsai soil that I have here. It's the perfect mixture for me and my portulacaria afra trees. 👍😊🌱🌱
That is a Jade and a half. Mr. J.A. Pan.
🌟That’s me.. Jay A Pan ! 😂🤣🐦💙
I dont think all trees need a front that jade looks best from the sides i think but not sure if sides make a good front, kinda hard to explain but for me the left side is where the sun should come from,,,,,,, nevermind me i am rambling,,,, it looks good but pot is to small to make nice big roots it may be a jade but it is a bonsai and should have some room for nebari jades make fat roots if giving the chance, why do ppl allways use the tiny pots for jade?
🌟Thank you Anders! Great questions - I don't know why - but that is what I always see (small pots)!
That pot you went with is a real beauty and it works really well with the jade.
Also, I laughed at your 'nice' when running your fingers through the soil. It reminded me of this satirical comedy clip from the nineties which cracks me up!
ua-cam.com/video/MsQYzpOHpik/v-deo.html
🌟Niiice, great, wonderful! What a hoot - thanks Tony! 🐦💙
That intro had me laughing way to hard Jay! What a cutting! I would just leave it so it preserves its strength and grows roots. The front side with the big trunk in front looks promising
🌟Thank you Bonsaifly! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Itu jenis tanaman apa pak?
You got jokes on your mid-week videos! had me crackin up all the way through.
No one wants a fat back, fat in front all day. Or cut the two skinnier trunks and make two trees out of this. You don’t have enough Port AF trees anyway.
🌟Thanks Billy the Bald Yeti! Yes, true I could have 2 trees! It's a Crassula actually, and not a Portulacaria. The biggest difference is - don't eat the leaves! ☠️🤣
