- I give the branches a trim before I bare root and trim the roots. I can then plant the tree in it's new bonsai pot!
The trees are Umbrella trees or Schefflera arboricola.
Leszek has also sent me a 60th birthday present, hint, you've already seen it!!

One of my favorites. I’ve probably watched and rewatched every episode of this tree a dozen times. Just amazing. Thanks, keep growing
It cracks me up how sometimes you have so much consternation over the tiniest branch twig selections. And then sometimes the blue office scissors come out and leaves fly everywhere without remorse.
I know they are heavy but that tree would look great planted on a slab.
You gotta keep um separated .
Lol, an offspring reference perfect!
I came to the comments looking for someone else who appreciated this. I laughed when I heard it.
Root Raking is my favorite, it's so relaxing to watch!
Amazing reporting, the new pot is really nice for it. a new jungle is coming.
the tree looked claustrophobic until you tilted it back. what a world of difference the pot and the tilt did for this wonderful tree.
Hello, thanks for sharing this video! I love your channel, I will support you along the way! Always believe in yourself and keep doing what you love. Good luck and have a nice weekend!
That looks amazing! That shirt puts you right in the zone!
Nice T-shirt! The Schefflera looks good in its new pot, too. Lots of room to grow 🌴
I also loved the concrete pot, but you are right.. it was a bit too deep. Great job on the prune and repot. Jerome and Mari’s pot will be a nice temporary home until you find the perfect pot! 👍
Tree in pot looks really cool! I see a tiger walking under the tree.
Amazing that you manage to grow schefflera like that in the non-tropics. Nice work.
Nice root development.
Freaking perfect in that pot, good choice!
I think it turned out right in that pot. Plus the dark color emphasizes the tree. Thanks for sharing.
The tree is looking in best of its health, loved d new pot & tree in it, in totality it's looking great👍
this is one of my very favorite compositions
Wow, that was a lot of work. It all paid off though. I love that new pot with this bonsai.
It is my guess that some people who see this awesome Shefflera don't realize how much work and time put into it.
I have a couple of Sheffleras that I had for like 6 years and they really slow on thickening. Your choice of pot was valid for the reasons you gave us imo, hope you find a nice clay pot .😊
What a beauty Nigel! Nice thought provoking episode. I loved the cement pot if the tree were bigger as you said.
Tree looks amazing love the t-shirt
Awsome job Nigel the tree is looking more and more beautifull every time you post an update on it.
Thanks Brian, it's in a big pot, it should grow well!!
Can't wait to see aerial roots dropping from the right side. That widening of the attachment to the earth will really beef up the impression of a large banyan grove. An awesome tree continues to evolve...Good stuff!!
Stunning!!!
Simply awesome!
Love it!
Love this bonsai Nigel. Looks fantastic in that pot.
Very interesting tree. You've done some great work on it. I am inspired to get my own schefflera now. Thanks Nigel!
I love this tree! Definitely one of my favorites from the very first video I saw of it. Looking forward to watching the progression over the next 20 years or so!!!
Amazing!
It does look amazing.
Nigel talking to the roots, new experience for me, but the really amazing thing is that the listen to him - you are a legend. Best regards Jens
There's something about that space on the right that makes it feel like it's on the water, like it's a mangrove forest or something. Accidental win!
I really like the pot choice. Also, your banyan styling feels very real to me.
i like how level it is to the soil level
Awesome tree & nice choice of pot, Nigel 👍
Benefit of raising the tree further : since your tree is very short & wide, the beautiful trunks & root-turned-trunks are not easily seen unless one bends down & peeps in at the correct level. Hence, planting the tree higher in the pot would have helped.
Also, instead of keeping the soil level flat like in your reference photos of banyan trees, if you could raise only the tree root area so that it slopes down to the edges, then the tree would look a bit taller & give more visibility to the trunks & surface roots.
Indonesian bonsai tends to give a slope to the roots to highlight all that hardwork. When viewed from the side, the surface roots rise up as a triangle and the canopy looks like an inverted triangle on it.
Perhaps, you could give it a try in your next repotting.
It looks absolutely stunning in this pot! Seeing it now, the original pot was way too small with the canopy sticking far out over the edges. Good job, and a lovely tree!
Sangat indah sekali👍👍👍
Great birthday shirt
Love watching this video 👍🇮🇳
I was so hesitant about the brown pot but turned out great!
Ps you really should think about some type of merch being such an old channel, if wouldn't look like a cash grab. Just feel like so many of us would love to support the channel in that way.
Gud day mr nigel!so nice tree..
Love that shirt! The tree looks amazing in that pot, definitely the right choice for it! The root work will make it feel like a new tree I bet. Should be a pretty long time before it needs very much like that done again. Also, I about fell out of my chair to hear you quote an Offspring song.. 😂 🤣 Fantastic work as always I can't wait to see where you take the tree next! 👍 👍
Good pot selection for this bonsai. Adding any interesting rocks to the outside area? I envision this tree in Hawaii with old lava flows nearby. Now you've got me thinking of adding a schefflera to my collection.
I'm glad you are putting this tree in a bigger pot. In my opinion, the only failing of this tree is that the angles that you can see the trees beautiful trunks and branches are so low. If you are observing the tree from a very high angle, it just looks like a thick schefflera. The bigger the tree gets, the wider that angle where you will be able to see the tree's shape. Perhaps let the middle get just a little bit taller.
I can recommend you to use neemoil to fight the scales. Just mix it with water and spray onto the whole tree, also the trunk. It is a natural insecticide that removes and prevents scales. I had a focus and a guava tree infected and it also jumped over to my ponytail palm . After using it the scales were gone within a day.
I think the Schefflera would look to contrived with a perfect root base, just an opinion Nigel
I do personally like the marble pot even if it is quite heavy looking. Maybe something similar but slimmer might work.
Interesting pot choice, I think it looks really good, although the slight offset to the left kind of bothers me, but that's just me, can't wait to see the trunks thicken up in the future.
Muito lindo
Did I miss when this was repotted last? Anyone? Thanks, keep growing
@Bonsai by SnC ,,, thanks 👍🏻
Holy root bound
I love your hair but it may need some reshaping. I've learned a lot from you keep up the beautiful work.
Looks great nigel right choice to which pot to use ,now the question is what tree is going in the expensive Japanese pot ..
Thanks for a great video...take care my friend..
Do you have a video that goes over your bonsai soil?
Yes he does, it’s half “safe-T-sorb” and half perlite, and he occasionally adds reptile bark
I kinda liked the cement pot more!
a blue pot would look nice !!!no soil just a medium !!
I enjoy the journey each of your plants are taking. Thanks for sharing. For a tweak to viewing experience I miss some of your work and explanation when you have a plant rotateed to you which is away from the camera. Have you tried a camera looking over your left shoulder? I look forward to more steps in the life of your plants
Missed this video earlier
MI is Michigan! MN is Minnesota
What soap do you use for the scale treatment? Wonderful bonsai, inspired me to start a schefflera clump style of my own 😊
He uses dishsoap!!
😊😊👍
The tree does stand out a lot more in the shallow pot but for a second there I thought the marble pot will get its first tree!
👍
Present sir
Sorry to have missed this one live! You seem quit happy with those blue scissors! 😱🤣. Can I totally defoliate at this time of year with repotting?
Yes, if the tree is very healthy!
@@TheBonsaiZone I also really enjoyed seeing your pot choosing process, and how it really does affect how you see the tree!
Looks great Nigel. I def liked the concrete pot myself but beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, do you ever tie your trees in? I don’t think I’ve ever seen you use any wire whatsoever? Most clubs, books, videos, etc… all stress the importance of locking your tree into the pot yet your obviously successful not doing it?
You are correct that most bonsai people/clubs emphasize tying the trees to the pots. Nigel rarely uses wire and at most I've seen him use stones on top of the soil to hold the newly potted trees in their pots until the roots grow enough to hold the trees in their pots.
8:00 Fancy cake you have there, sir.
How was that turntable built?
Quick random question for anyone willing to answer, what's the best way to acclimate a greenhouse plant to regular outdoors. I tried with an oak seedling I dug up a few weeks ago. It was looking super healthy in the greenhouse, so I put it in shade and went to work... When I got home the leaves had dried up a bit, and shriveled. I put it back immediately, but now I'm nervous to bring any trees in there out. 😭
it's the zombie apocalypse, all hell is breaking loose 😅
what fertilizer do you use in your rain water?
Miracle Grow 20 20 20
Did this start out as one tree or several plants?
How manny trees do you have in your colection
👍👌🍎🙂
Impressive but that quick 360 made feel a bit 'mal-de-mer'
Scale killed my moms peach plant, I could never get it under control :(
tutto bello ma facci vedere anche i gattini e la gatta ciao grazie
ive got these little white fuzzy bugs on my apple tree they leave white fuzz all over what might they be
Probably scale
I think you offsett it to much in the pot. I dont get feel of balance. But i guess it will fill in afther some time. And if you har happy with it. Thats what really matthers
What happened to Jackfruit seeds ??
One has germinated so far!
Curvature is only found in this tree by partial defoliation because water in the ocean is flat for miles.
Hay Nigel, you fertilize everyday?😅😢
Yes, every time I water I fertilize with a very weak solution.
@@TheBonsaiZone First of all, I never thought you'd reply to my comment. Thanks.
Second, I want yo thank you again. Because I was interested in Bonsai since my childhood but for the last few years you've been my one and only inspiration.
I just deeply fell in love with Bonsai just because of you. Thank you so much.
I will go long way with you through this UA-cam channel. Love from India.
@@KuntalDhara That very nice to hear happy growing!!
Nigel whose your barber?
