you should 3d print a planter for it
That's a cool ideea. But for now, it needs to grow a lot in order to thicken up. And that means a big pot. I will put wires on it soon.
Salut,am si eu unul si vreau sa te intreb daca se poate taia din el in perioada asta pentru ca a crescut destul de mult in vara asta!!!
E un pic cam tarziu, dar merge daca ii dai soare suficient.
Hello. Thanks for the video!
Where did you get your fired clay? I'm really interested in finding some good quality one, the only one I could find in RO is Seramis, which is good, but quite a bit expensive.
Also, have you tried to mix only fired clay with pine bark? You should very good water retention from the clay and from the bark as well, and also organic material. I'm not sure how much benefit you get from mixing all of those different types of inorganic substrates (they mostly have a similar role).
Hi and thanks for watching. I've had it for years. You cannot find it right now. I am stretching it as much as I can :) because it's just amazing. And no, it does not hold a lot of water. I don't use pine bark because it rips the roots apart when you repot the tree. Also, I tend to use Ph neutral bonsai soils. Seramis is very very close to akadama and it holds a lot of water but not enough for me :) Bonsai soil mix is quite a tricky business. I've managed to make the "perfect" recipe for my environment and now I have to modify it due to the past 2 years dramatic climate change....
@@RABonsai Thanks. Maybe smaller bark particles would be better, unless you want to wash the roots clean, in which case I can understand why it could rip the roots while trying to remove it.
So you prefer akadama over seramis for water retention at least, as toughness wise, seramis would hold better in time from what I understood.
Also a nice place you have, just next to the mega mall, unfortunately quite busy and crowded. I'm quite close to you, near the Carrefour ex Cora Pantelimon.
You should never wash the roots of a bonsai tree. Never! It rips them because they are large and the bonsai roots grow into them. I prefer sphagnum moss at any time. You can see how fine it is in this video. Akadama and Seramis are quite the same in water retention. I don't need it to last too long, as I use small pots and need to repot anyway in max 2 years. That's nice. Maybe we can grab a beer and talk bonsai at some point :)
@@RABonsai yes, washing the roots is a sensitive topic. Some do it, some don't. I would see it practical maybe when you switch the substrate from fully organic to inorganic. I'm currently reading a nice book about bonsai horticulture and there it was recommended to try fired clay as the only inorganic substrate and bark for organic.
Also beer would be nice, though I have to warn you, I'm a complete beginner and know more theory than anything practical.
Washing the roots is not a sensitive topic. No one can give any examples of benefits, but I can give you a lot of disadvantages. It was introduced by "we know who". A guy with a lot of views and subscribers, but very little experience in bonsai. The most experienced bonsai masters have an extremely low presence on video or even not at all. YES, there are cases, bot so few they don't even matter. Don't take things for granted and don't consider information as a rule. Not even from me! Learn new things, talk them over, test them and get valuable conclusions. 99% of bonsai beginners make the most common mistake - they do not correlate the information with the data of the problem in question.
