Following the development of this young Acer palmatum forest, a year later, repotting into a large ceramic pot, to push it further. Thank you for your time!

What an amazing setting/background to do your bonsai work!! What mountain range is that in the background? Also, that looks like a great start to either a group planting bonsai. Maples are hands down my favorite type of bonsai to work on. We are lucky to live in the right growing zones to do so. Take care, have a blessed day and HAPPY BONSAI
Thank you! I appreciate your comment! Background mountain is a small mountain called Lirkio in the center of Peloponnese peninsula in Southern Greece. Yes indeed, people living in temperate zones are very lucky considering bonsai cultivation. A vast range of genus and species in our hands. Even though, I have to say, as far as deciduous broadleaf are concerned, I have grown fond of Carpinus orientalis, more than Japanese maples. But still, jm are a top quality species. Cheers!
There is nothing quite like watching momiji bud in the spring. Such beautiful colors. Thanks for sharing.
Indeed Paul! Cheers!

Thank you very much for sharing this very interesting video,you did a great job my friend!👏👏👏
You're welcome Roberto! Cheers!
I think these are always the fun little projects and can be a nice break from the heavier work of more mature trees. Creations for the future :)
Great insight Xavier! Cheers!

Gracias por compartir tus trabajos.
Salud.
As always, you are welcome, Fabian!
Clever idea to allow so many seedlings to grow together, then cut them apart. I'm interested to see how these develop over the years.
Thank you! Looking for ways to save some time! Cheers Susan!
I planted 9 October Glory seeds into the same pot today. I hope my forest ends up looking this good.
I wish you luck! Not long before they pop out of the soil!
Thanks for sharing, I have often wondered why I don't see Zeolite used in Bonsai (I use it with my succulents) can you tell me why you do? Also is it okay to substitute perlite with pumice?
You're welcome Wesley! Of course I'll tell you! Zeolite is better than akadama. Retains good amount of moisture, has excellent CEC (Cation Exchange Capacity), so delivers fertilizer slowly to the roots (better CEC than akadama actually) and offers plenty of oxygen to the roots, constantly in between repottings, since it does not break down like akadama does. So, you repot, not because there is no water and oxygen percolation in the rootball, due to breaking down of the substrate, but because the roots have filled the pot. Now, of course you can use pumice instead of perlite (they are essentially the same chemicaly, with different 3d structure). I prefer perlite since it's lighter and easier on the roots, while on dug up trees I use 50-50 pumice perlite (for the same reason). Cheers!
Did you start them in regular plant potting soil? And what is the material that you’re transplanting them with now. It looks kind of like perlite?
I started them in perlite with organic soil from the forest at 20%. During the past 2 years, organic matter has accumulated on top and in the substrate so it looks heavily organic. Now I use my usual mix for deciduous broadleaf, 45% zeolite, 45% perlite and 10% organic. Cheers mate!
