    A rule of thumb about choosing a bonsai pot: once the tree is its final size, the pot should only be as deep as the thickest part of the trunk is wide. It’s traditional for growers to make the pot themselves out of clay, or select a pot with special meaning to it if they’re not good at making pottery.
    People are often surprised by how shallow final bonsai pots are, in comparison to normal plant pots. Some small bonsai have pots that are only an inch or a few centimeters deep or so.

      @h...........................The trunk will thicken much more and much faster if a bonsai is kept in a deeper pot. However, this may ruin the shape as it will allow much more room for the tree to grow, therefore allow more foliage to grow. Possibly ruining the shape.

    I kept an eye out for out of the way nursery plants that had been ignored, spending more time in a small pot causing shorter growth and a bigger trunk. I found a Red Stopper that was an absolute natural. I didn't wire and only did a little pruning and root reveal. After potting and moss it looked right out of a fairy tale. The plant continued to look healthy and happy till I moved. My earlier experience with a Jade plant falling apart showed that a hearty species would save me much..heart ache. Nice video!

      Jade plants (crassula or "hens & chicks" folk name) are actually very hardy plants. They are susceptible to weird disease and water logging, humidity, stuff like that though. I had a 30 year Jade bonsai, but a truly evil, crazy, psychotic ex-girlfriend happened to it. She poured bleach in it. Who does that? Oh yeah, a truly evil woman.

      Tropical bonsai are managed and styled very differently from the temperate trees and shrubs that are traditionally used for bonsai.
      It is not true that you can style, prune, and wire tropical trees and shrubs for bonsai year round, because even most tropical woody plants make seasonal root and top growth, or grow in distinct flushes. The few nearly continuous growers, such as Serissa, grow so quickly that they need regular pruning and styling year round. Despite this, they do not grow into full sized bonsai any faster than their temperate counterparts.

    The spruce here is a Norway Spruce (Picea abies), known as a White Spruce or European Spruce in Europe, and is probably the cultivar 'Nidiformis' ('Nest formed'). As a bonsai subject, P. abies has the very desirable characteristic of rooting easily from cuttings, thus specimens free of graft scars are readily available at low cost.

      It depends how big your bonsai is, it can usually take a few months at least from my experience, but I have a smaller one. The wires can stay on for a long time just make sure to keep an eye on the branches, if you leave them on too long, and the trunk grows too big for the wires they can dig into the branches causing scars. What I like to do is leave a little slack in the wires so they have room to grow.

    Now I can’t stop watching Bonsai videos. I have bought 3 from this guy at The Florida State Fair - 1 every year and I took such good care but I have killed them all, argh. One turned yellow - yes yellow. I guess maybe I watered it to much. I had one that turned orange- I think I put to much food pellets in soil. The 3rd one made it about 7 months and it even grew for a while. I would take them out and let them get sunlight for about an hour or 2 every other day and would water it about every 2-3 days. Kept soil damp. I don’t have the heart to get another one. When they died I felt like I betrayed Mother Nature

      Maybe buy your bonsai from a different seller. No offense to this channel but this video is widely inaccurate. It is not an acceptable practise to sheer roots of a tree to make it into a bonsai tree. It can cause disease for the tree.
      I recommend going to a bonsai specialist and purchasing one there, and speaking to the owner. Most specialists recommend you take the bonsai to them for pruning and checking the plants health once every 3-6 months. Good luck.

      Some trees need cold weather during winter. The bonsai you see in the video will not be able to live in tropical climate.

    Can this be done as soon as you get the tree home from the nursery, or should you wait until a certain season? Many thanks :)

      Best is to spread out your work a bit. Repotting definitely in early spring, and then ideally wiring and pruning a few months later. If you know exactly what you're doing, you can do things at the same time, but never do too much as it will slow down the progress of the tree or even kill it.

    A lot of people here are saying "that's not a bonsai!" or "it's just a fancy bush"
    so first off, a bonsai is a tree trained into shape to be a miniature version of the adult tree, or in some cases like show here a miniature version of another species, this is the beginning of a bonsai, not a finished one.
    the trunk will become more thick over time and the canopy will start to take on more of an umbrella shape. (if that's what this person is going for)

    Thank you for your patience and the explanations kindly provided by you...can you guide me in an aspect regarding the care of these miniatures of nature? Concretely, I was instructed to make a bonsai pot myself, using sand and construction cement..I think that the substances that make up the cement powder are harmful to the bonsai roots, especially in combination with the nutrients that will have to be applied, according to their instructions on the label..what do you think about this subject, which began to be considered a "cheaper" possibility when purchasing a specific bonsai pot? I am not a seller
    or influencer for none of the possibilities: purchasing from specialized stores or making these dishes yourself...
    Until you have time to answer me, you or other people with experience in growing bonsai, I will use plastic boxes from ice cream...thank you for your kindness

      The benefit of ceramics is mostly aesthetic - but if you need to save money perhaps build wooden boxes that at least breath a bit. Bonsai pots can be rather cheap though!

    What happens when we remove the wire? Does the shape still retain? Would there be a need to rewire?

      Well it depends, often you'll want to wire it again at some point to add more refinement.
