    Lindo pinus nigra, adoro sei vídeos e suas explicações, se o pinus não vai p exposição, eu falaria para você passar uma borracha por fora do vaso acomodando as raízes para quando der ventos fortes ela não se movimentar e daí com o tempo corta a borracha e nisso ela já vai estar firme, mesmo amarrando ela no vaso, melhor previnir do que remediar kkk parabéns pelas suas plantas sempre lhe sigo

    Great looking tree. I guess your plan is to cut back to the back budding in the future tot downsize the width of the silhouette? I love adding moss to my trees...but the birds love it also so they tend to steal it haha.

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  Рік тому

      Thank you Dimitri! Yes, exactly. That's the plan. It was wide and for a niwaki this is fine but now I need to tighten the foliage close to the trunk. It will take 3 4 years but it will be done eventually. About the moss, I had the same problem last summer. I solved it by putting shade cloth above the pot for e few months. Keeps birds away but keeps the pot cooler as well. Cheers!

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  Рік тому

      Thank you Marmo! I describe everything detailed in the captions - subtitles. This was a mycorrhizae additive to help with the transplant sock, heal faster and become healthier soon. Pinus nigra (as sylvestris) have a strong relationship with fungi in their root systems. Cheers!

  • @bobdale2842
    @bobdale2842 Рік тому +1

    How do you determine when to use only pumice, akadama, lava, or various combinations?

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  Рік тому +1

      So, for yamadori - like trees, you need a lot of airation to build the root system again and no need for fertilizer. Pumice or it's variation, perlite, or perhaps a mix between them is the best. For developed trees, where I need fertilizing, I need 50% zeolite that has great Cation Exchange Capacity. For broadleafs I might use up to 10% organic soil from the forest, while for conifers maximum 5% or none. I've selected the components I want to use and mix them knowing what my targets are for every single tree. I hope that helps a bit!

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  Рік тому

    • @ArkefthosBonsai
      @ArkefthosBonsai  25 днів тому

      Thank you mate! It's 50% zeolite, 50% pumice for this tree. For trees dug out of the ground is 100% pumice, but this is a big tree, in a big pot, so if it's going to stay in the pot without repotting for more than 2 years, old add the zeolite that has excellent CEC to hold and slowly release fertilizer after the first season. Cheers!

      No! Why would it die? Pinus nigra is perhaps the strongest pine species, really difficult to die. It is on its second growth from the digging up, it looks great, I have it on a turning base, so that I can turn it and get sun all around and be able to work on it without moving it. You are going to see this tree very very soon and I'm going to do a video on styling this tree in October. Cheers Matt!

      No worries David. Even I am annoyed by my subtitles sometimes..... Zeolite is white-ish when dry but becomes Grey green when whet. This year's batch I've gotten from a different source, becomes beautiful green and it looks really good! That helps optically to know when the soil starts to dry and probably needs watering, like akadama. Cheers!
