In this video, I show you how to create a beautiful Hinoki Cypress Bonsai from a piece of raw material. Genus: Chamaecyparis Obtusa - Nana Gracilis.
Hinoki Cypress trees are popular among bonsai enthusiasts for several reasons. First, they have a delicate and graceful appearance, with fine, needle-like foliage and elegant branches that can be trained into a variety of shapes and forms. This makes them highly adaptable to the art of Bonsai, as they can be easily manipulated to suit the aesthetic preferences of the bonsai artist.
Additionally, Hinoki Cypress trees are known for their pleasant aroma, which can add an extra sensory dimension to the Bonsai experience. They also have a relatively slow growth rate, which allows for more careful and deliberate shaping and training over time.
Hinoki Cypress trees are relatively hardy and can tolerate a range of growing conditions, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor bonsai cultivation if cared for correctly. Overall, the delicate beauty and adaptability of Hinoki Cypress trees make them an excellent choice for bonsai enthusiasts of all levels!

Dude your videos are very much informative than any other bonsai RU-vid channels

@notionbonsai Год назад

Hey thanks very much! I try to make them as informative as I can. Though I'm always open to new ideas and other ways of doing things! 🙂

@TheBonsaiGarden Год назад

Great video Adam. Hinoki make for super cute little trees. Be careful that their dense growth habit can cause the inner foliage to brown and die off.

@notionbonsai Год назад

Hey thanks Jason! 😊 That's such great advice! 🌳✂️

@arnes.7945 Год назад

I live in Germany and my local Gardencenter had some hinokis ( each about 30 cm in height and grown very vigorously. They sold each for 10€. That was a really happy day for me. (it‘s a very traditional flower/gardening store and held by the same family for more than 50 years)

Nice repot! I love hinokis, the reason I haven't got one in the last few years is all the specimens locally here have their graft bulge too big and obvious, you were very lucky with yours!

@Yurup Год назад

I would have tried a tourniquet to improve the roots on this tree. Just tie a wire around the root just below where you want the roots to come out, eventually it will choke the the root and the tree will have to make roots above the tourniquet. THe benifit of this is that its slower and the tree will not be in as much of a danger of dying.

@notionbonsai Год назад

Ah nice! Thats a good idea 😊 I may do this on the next repot... depending on how they progress from here!

@glennrren8382 9 месяцев назад

Nice video, nice little tips and tricks for my own Hinoki. BTW there is enough oxygen in the water, so plants will not drown. Do not worry if you need to have any plant/tree in water a couple of days.

Great video! I appreciate the extra info about the variety. I’m just about to repot mine. It is also from nursery stock and I’ve had it on the bench for almost a year. I would like to see more about pruning hinoki. I love their foliage pads, but b/c they are so dense, I’m not sure how to develop them for ramification.

@notionbonsai Год назад

Hey Dylan, thanks very much! Hinokis grow so slowly so it will take a long time to get good ramification on them!

@davewatson3405 Год назад

With a nursery hinoki purchased in summer would it be best to repot right away to get roots growing in bonsai mix or leave in poor compost till spring?

@notionbonsai Год назад

Hi Dave! It is generally recommended to wait until the following spring for repotting. The reason behind this is to avoid adding additional stress to the tree during its active growing season. In the meantime, it's important to ensure that the tree remains healthy and well-maintained. Keep it in a suitable location with proper sunlight, watering, and care. 🌱🙂

@MD-wk3gj 5 месяцев назад

I’ve either not heard, or it didn’t sink in, about the sacrificial branch to thicken up a trunk. Thanks for the tip/reminder! My teacher once mentioned not to mess with the roots if you’re working on the top and vice versa because it’s too much for the plant. Did you do it all for the video or is that what you find works?

@notionbonsai 5 месяцев назад

I'm glad you found the tip about sacrificial branches helpful! Regarding your teacher's advice about not working on both roots and the top of the tree simultaneously, it's indeed a common practice in bonsai. Making major changes to both the roots and the top foliage at the same time can put a lot of stress on the tree, potentially compromising its health and vigour. Personally I have found that is is generally ok to work on both if the tree is young, I would not do this with older Hinoki and if you want to be on the super safe side only work on one at a time. I hope this clarifies things for you! If you have any more questions or need further explanations, feel free to ask. Happy bonsai growing! 🌳🌿

@monkey4424 Год назад

I got a hinoki cypress yesterday at the nursery! And because it’s still spring I’m going to give it a prune, wire shaping and a potting. One side of my hinoki is not as colored as the front. I think it’s due to lack of sunlight. I think when it’s all pruned it should get sun. I have a question, at what temperature is too hot or too cold for my bonsai’s?

@notionbonsai Год назад

I'd advise waiting a year after repotting a hinoki before you style it or work on the foliage. The temperature depends on the species. Hinoki cypress is adaptable to a range of temperatures and can tolerate both cold and hot conditions. In general, Hinoki cypress trees thrive in temperatures between 10°C and 30°C (50°F to 86°F). However, they can withstand temperatures as low as -20°C (-4°F) in winter and as high as 35°C (95°F) in summer, provided that they receive adequate water and care. It is important to note that different cultivars and growing conditions can also affect the temperature preferences of Hinoki cypress trees. In general, they prefer well-drained soil, partial shade, and protection from strong winds.

Maybe you should have more patience 😅 pruning, root pruning, Bare rooting and putting it in a small pot expect it to recover. I should have waited strip it down to its flare to see how the nebari is. Leave it in this container cause the roots and soil were looking Just fine. Setting the first 2 branches with wire. Choosing the front and brainstorm where i want to go with the design. When the tree shows some good growth i'll give some extra sweets to push some more and than i'll prune. To repot it in (a larger training pot) late summer early autumn. But hey this is bonsai its your tree and i love hinoki 2 but i killed a lot trees in the beginning with your speedy method😂🎉
