I'm just a beginner, and i've recently purchased the Chinese Elm bonsai tree. Your videos are so helpful and very detailed, I really enjoy watching them, so please keep posting more! :)
Hi Dermot, Thanks for watching. I've always believed that information should be available to anybody that's willing to learn. I'll keep making videos as long as people are interested in watching.
Great tip, it is already stored in my grey matter for future use :) Would be good to see some tips on fine wiring smaller branches if possible. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!
mick watson Thank you for the input. I have a video on wiring the primary and secondary branches. It doesn't go into the very small branches though. I'll keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for watching.
Hey Jason! I just love you channel, I really like it! I've been watching your channel for a little bit because I'm interesting in star with my bonsai tree, but my first question will be... Can I have a Bonsai Tree indoor? Because I live in Montreal, and the winter is so hard and cold... If I can, what will be the right type of plants and the season to start with it? Thank for all the information you're giving us... Amazing job!
How about showing how to use an alternative anchor point, like the holes in the pot or some sort of stake type anchoring point? Then the twist is somewhere in the middle. Thanks for your videos.
Hi Jason, I recently subscribed to your channel and love your knowledge sharing. I have a query on the type of black plastic pot you are using. These seem common among bonsai nurseries as well as bonsai artists and I was wondering if the regular black pots have any advantage over ready made / self made air pruning pots or plastic mesh trashcans, fitted with a cheap landscape fabric or walmart bag ? Have you tried fabric pots or net pots like those made by Rediroots ? I am myself a fan of colanders & net baskets, and judging by youtube videos, I wonder why air pruning pots are not popular in the bonsai community, worlwide. Thanks for your perspective on this, Jason.
My Narra is a seedling doing great. I am 66 years old and I know that life favors my Narram Which is ok for me. But any advice you might have for older guys like me who are retired and really love the art of bonsai? Thanks! Tom in Philippines.
What if you were to slide a nail or something thru the middle of the loop and basically rotate that to do the tightening in a sort of "stick & bandage tourniquet " style, so-to-speak? Is there any reason why that would be a bad idea?
It is a very wonderful video but can you show me how i will not kill the plant when I am pruning the roots as I was told before I should not cut the roots randomly as the plant will not survive afters. Is there a rule of cutting roots? thanks.
You would do better with some pliers with a larger mouth. I have electrical pliers from my trade that allow me to twist wires with 1 hand a little easier. Any tips for trees without Jins?
How do I know how much of the root system I can remove at one time. I followed another pros recommended way and killed 2 15 year old trees. Where can I read up on this?
