    That’s a big old piece!!!
    As you were taking the soil off I was getting Roy Neary vibes from Close Encounters, particularly as you picked it up and headed towards the house. (See the bit where he constructs Devils Tower in his front room, lobbing bricks and plants through the window) 😂👍
    Great story telling. This is the kind of thing you excel at for me. 🏆

    Thank you for sharing this beauty. It looks like you went pretty hard on the root base trying to cram it into that round pot. It might have done better in a wooden grow box or Anderson flat for a couple of years. Cheers.

  • @HideorEscape
    @HideorEscape 7 місяців тому +1

    2:42 That's a new wisteria plant right there! Did you plant it to make another bonsai out of it?
    Also at the end you don't have to prune the lower branches that are too low?

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  7 місяців тому +2

      Yes I planted that chunk. I will prune them at some point but for now more foliage means faster recovery

    Rhis was such a pleasure to watch. Next spring my similarly sized wisteria needs to go from the recovery tib into a development pot. If you happen to be nearby, want to give me a hand ;)? Really excellent video, calm and well paced.

    @mariuszkupczyk2137 7 місяців тому

    what proportions did you use for the substrate?

    • @grobonsai
      @grobonsai  7 місяців тому

      I wasn't joking when I was vague - it's just a bunch of ingredients left over, some previous used for cuttings, others just leftover from other repots. It's approximately 50% coir and 50% bonsai soil. In this deeper pot it doesn't matter so much, but when I put the tree into a proper bonsai pot I will use mostly akadama, perhaps with small amount of pumice. Sorry I cannot be more specific.
