In this short video i will show you, how i made my first concrete bonsai slab / pot. A whole project did take 7 days , but it worth every single minute. Really enjoyed the make of it and i am pretty sure i will create more of them very soon; here is what have used for the whole project:
Cement, Sand, Wooden box, bucket , mixer paddle, cement colour, some rocks, 6mm wire mesh, acrylic paint (3 different colours) , some brushes, a carving machine, spoon, pallet knife and some wire...
Hope you will enjoy it watching as i did enjoyed making it :)

Brilliant first video Attila!! Very nice editing and storytelling! The technique with the dry brush is awesome for getting that rock texture! Will have to try this when I make cement pots!! Looking forward to your future videos!!

Exceptional work. I’ve been interested in cement/concrete art for years. My only concern is using this material in horticultural practice because of the alkaline nature. I have used cement pots that I have soaked in water for months and it seems like the low ph remains for months despite soaking in water. My tap water is already alkaline due to additives(chloramines) I know microbes will produce acid in the long term but plant health and ph are pretty important. Any thoughts? Thank you for a great video!!!

@FangornBonsai 8 месяцев назад

Thanks a lot! My thoughts about using cement pots: That they can have a slightly alkaline pH, which may affect the soil acidity over time. Some trees prefer slightly acidic soil, so you may need to adjust your soil mixture accordingly. I have also using water seal on my pots, 2-3 layers just in case, so far so good ☺

@chrisgunnerson8042 6 месяцев назад

You said you used cement for the slab and then used concrete for the rest. Did you put any aggregate in the concrete when mixing for the pot , or just sand and concrete? Really liked the project hoping to make my own!

@FangornBonsai 6 месяцев назад

@@chrisgunnerson8042 Sorry for the confusion Chris. I only used cement and water mix, but i am thinking of using hypertufa next time.

Saw you already a few times in Adam's videos and was wondering if you would start your own channel, I'm so glad you did ! Immediate subscription ! The slab you made is amazing, I'm going to try to make one myself, I love being creative.

I had been looking for this video since I saw you and Adam use this pot for the cypress forest. This video answers a lot of questions. When I first saw the pot in the before mentioned video, I thought it may have been made using cloth and concrete. You have a real zen factor Atilla.

Absolutely awesome Atilla Mate I’ve been watching you on notion bonsai. Mate you are like a kindred spirit to me. Total respect for your creative ability mate. I, like you like to make unusual but super cool pots although I’m probably a bit crazier than most 😂😂 I really hope we can become good friends over your RU-vid journey brother 👊 I can’t wait to see what you create next. I’ve just subscribed and I’m going to share on my community now and great the word out on your channel. I hope that is okay? You may get some more subs views etc. great video Atilla respect mate 👊

@radrickdavis 9 месяцев назад

The sand/rock texture on the slab turned out amazing! Been looking for this kind of technique for a while to make realistic rock textures. Now I know how. Do you think a rocky shaped pot could be made by adding concrete to a deeper sand box?

@FangornBonsai 8 месяцев назад

Sure, why not ;) Try it out and let me know ;)

@johngriffin6481 10 месяцев назад

The final product looks beautiful and natural! Clearly it took a lot of work but it was definitely worth the effort. Looking forward to what you do next!

Incredible and inspiring! What is your concrete mix and have you experimented with hypertufa? 1/3 portland cement, 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite or vermiculite…. I have so many new ideas now so thank you!!

@FangornBonsai 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Steve! My mix is only cement and water but i will def check out on that hypertufa! Thanks for the tip 😊

@jazzrat2000 6 месяцев назад

I really love it. I spend most of my time with Concrete trying to make it smooth :-) I do have a question… How do you work out for drainage? I didn't see any holes. Also an observation I do the dry brush technique with my fingers.

@FangornBonsai 6 месяцев назад

Hey. I did considered the tree species before building a pot, also as it is slanted the water will just run off . Will use Swamp Cypress trees which they can even stand in water ☺

I didn't know where you were going with it but the results were incredible. That looks incredibly expensive. The way you laid the moss was also ingenious. I would be so happy if i could successfully copycat your beautiful design

i came here because of @bonsaicrazy mention of your channel. I have only made one stone pot and certainly nothing like this. which is absolutely stunning. I also like your channel name, love LOTR P(^0^)p. You have definitely earned my sub 😎

@wonwong676 8 месяцев назад

Don't need any drainage holes?

@FangornBonsai 8 месяцев назад

As the slab is slanted, the excess water will flow off, also we will plant swamp cypress on it which they are water loving trees 😉

What a fabulous piece!! I can't believe it ONLY took a week for you to make that! Just stunning results! I love doing dry brushing. I think there is so much artistic control you have with adding thin layers one at a time. Just beautiful! So happy you started a channel with all that talent!
