Making Bonsai from a Rose Bush 

What are your thoughts about potting in akadama?

I would love an update on the rose. ❤

Don't worry! They will grow again 😄 I also kept the little roses in water to see them bloom 🥰

and they never bloomed

@@sauravkarmakar3704 They sure did! Follow me on Instagram to keep updated with things that I do off camera 🤗🤗

​@@notionbonsai Ty now i feel better 🥲

Thanks Sam! Ive had flowers on a Rose Bonsai before! 🌹 Fingers crossed, I get some this year 😄

Not at all. Bonsai can take some time to develop 🙂 This is simply the beginning of a "Mame" Rose Bonsai

@@notionbonsai yep actually bonsai also simply means "plant in vase" but generally people use it to refer to an old piece of living plant art, usually trees as to mimic nature scaping. In any case it's correct ^^

@@lunaticplantlover Yeah exactly! Here is a documentary I created on Bonsai if you are interested 🤗 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yjzNzgzy7co.html

​@@notionbonsaishow how is rose plant

True that….it takes time for the stage of development. Thank you for your demonstrations.

I will Ron! Thank you very much 🤗

Hey Wotomelon! I'll be posting updates of my trees and such on my Instagram 🙂🙂

I will do updates on my Roses next season!!

It will grow again 😊 Also you can take each of the off cuttings and create entirely new plants with them!

Yes

No. The tree will do well in this little pot 😄 If you wish to though! Take cuttings from everything you cut off and make new plants! 😊 You can find the longer version on my channel!

@@notionbonsai how will it do well? Roses need A LOT of soil to thrive. I was never able to have nice one's on the balcony. They just almost die but when I re-pot them to my grandma's garden they thrive.

@@sweetLemonist you forgot that not everybody is you

@@sandraswan9008 wow shocking! :) Roses still need more soil to grow, ideally a minimum of 35cm. Bye-bye

Remember to keep it well watered! 🌹💦

It's not common to tradition I'd never do that nor would anyone in any of the clubs I'm in.

Sure! Follow me on Instagram to stay updated on all of my Bonsai 😁

Thanks for this!! I find it helps keep the humidity levels up after a repot if I place spaghnum over the top of the soil 🤗

Don't worry! They grow again 🤗

Being in a small pot it will grow a little smaller

Aw nice! Yeah! Here's hoping it grows a flower this year 😃

@@notionbonsai well it should, if you leave it to grow from here at the end of the “grow cycle” it build flower on all the new growth and you can choose ether to dead head them or let them flower!!

Sorry about that! I will have to investigate to see why! Thank you for letting me know 😀

Oh no! 😥 There are many factors to why it could have died! Did you keep it watered regularly and did it have enough roots?

Hi Kristi! It's important that the tree is well watered and kept away from direct sunlight after repotting.

There were multiple plants in the pot to start with 😄 I just pruned it shorter and gave it a repot! It will grow again 😁

They will grow again. It is so that there is not too much strain on the roots 🙂

@@notionbonsai wow that's interesting

This clay is fired in the oven. After it is properly cured it is waterproof 😄

@@notionbonsai yeah, I make polymer clay often, even the website says it's not water safe and will break down

The plant will do well. The plant I started with had 4 rose plants in it so I was able to seperate it into 4 different pots 🤗You can find the full video on my channel!

Yours did? 🙁

Hey thank you! I did this in spring! 🤗

Oh nice! I've seen a few nice dog wood Bonsai!

It will for sure. Theres plenty of roots to keep it alive 🙂 Check out my Instagram to stay updated on all my trees if you are interested!

🤗

Thank you! 😊

I have chosen a variety of rose that grows smaller roses than other varietys so they will be small and in proportion yeah

Glad it was helpful!

Hey thanks 😁

To keep updated on the progression of my trees. Check out my instagram 🤗

Hey! The tree was wired into the pot 😁

Thank you! Cheers!

Just all-purpose compost mixed in with bonsai soil 🪴

I’m asking because here we can get it with crushed sea shells and sea weed, or ones with chicken manure, ones with sheet manure etc. so I never know what to get

I will ensure that I water this and not let the soil try out 🤗 (but also not get too wet)

@@notionbonsai it would so awesome if you could share it bc I'm also looking to try it out since I also have a small bowl that I want to try and make a bonsai tree!!

I think it's still evaporation, condensation, and precipitation 😂

It's the start of a Mame rose Bonsai. Bonsai usually take a long time to make but the Mame styled ones can be achieved in a shorter space of time 🤗

What? This is a video about bonsai. Where did all this come from

@@JB-ew1mu wait a minute... I commented this on another video, why is it here?? Thanks for letting me know tho. Maybe because I was watching short while clicking on notification.

With Bonsai that are in smaller pots they need watered a LOT more often! You can also place your mame bonsai on a tray of soil so that their roots can grow out the bottom of the pots - that way it doesnt need to be watered as much 🤗

@@notionbonsai great answer, and thanks 👍🏼

The roses are doing fine for now 🤗 You can check out the full video on my channel and i'll be posting updates of all my trees on my Instagram

@@notionbonsai I'm just kidding mate😹

To create a Bonsai! The bush had 3 different rose plants in it. I planted them all seperately 🤗

Hey thanks Caleb! Welcome to the channel 🤗

Yeah 😁 For these trees I have chosen a small leaf and flower variety of rose 🌹

I did on this particular one but if you want to be on the safe side you don't have to!

Hey sure! DM me on instagram with a photo!

Thats ok! 🤗

😅

It will grow back 😄

As long as I keep the humidity up until it develops new roots it should be okay. Check out my instagram where I post updates on all my Bonsai 🤗

You can find more videos on my channel 😊

Hey Alexandre! You should check out my longer version of creating Bonsai from Rose 😄 I go into more detail about how to care for them and which types of rises do not like to be put into shallow containers

I made multible Bonsai from this one bush. I'll get the flowers next year 😊

@@notionbonsai oh! Ok I thought it wouldn't flower anymore. I take back what I said lol sorry

I post updates of all of my trees on Instagram! I'll take an update of these when they flower!

I don't mind cutting them off this year to balance the energy of the rose. They will come again next year. However if you want you can put the flowers you cut off in some water to enjoy them and watch them bloom! 😊

This is correct! Plant in tray 😊 It's just my accent haha

😊😊

It will take a few years to get some nice branches on it with a Bonsai structure. Should do well this year tho! 🙂Hopefully it flowers!

After a few weeks it is ok to then fertilise the tree 😊

🤗

This depends! It is a fact that the right substrate can help a bonsai grow quicker, but it is important to note that this is just one factor among many that contribute to the overall health and growth of a Bonsai. The substrate, or soil mix, used for a bonsai should be well-draining, porous, and able to retain moisture and nutrients. This type of substrate allows for proper root development and uptake of water and nutrients, which in turn can lead to faster growth. However, it is important to also consider other factors that can impact bonsai growth, such as proper watering, fertilization, pruning, and exposure to light. Additionally, the species of bonsai, its age, and its overall health can also influence its growth rate. Therefore, while the substrate can certainly play a role in the growth of a bonsai, it is just one piece of a larger puzzle and should be considered in conjunction with other important factors 🤗

You can always up pot it when it fills that little pot 🤗 Or place it in a tray of sand/grit for the roots to grow out the bottom of the pot into that!

Did you keep it in a humid environment?

🤗

For sure it is not an expensive Bonsai with a thick trunk, but as Rose goes for a Bonsai Project. This is a good little start in having a Mame one 😊 It will take some time before this one looks good lol!

Its the beginning of a "mame" Bonsai. 🙂 Bonsai that look good can take a while to develop.

🤗🌳

It did!

Oh no! Did you keep them watered?

✂️✨🌳

There were multiple rose plants in that one bush. I made 4 separate trees from it

Not at all! You must ensure that you leave enough root to provide enough moisture to the leaves. Also keep the rose Bonsai in a humid environment away from direct sunlight so that transpiration is slowed and in time it will recover growing new leaves 🍃 🙂

I did multiple rose Bonsai 😃 They are alive. Remember to follow me on Instagram to keep updated on all of my trees!

They are alive 🙂 It's important to keep it in a humid environment to slow down transpiration as it recovers. Also keep out of direct sunlight. Follow me on instagram to keep updated on all of the Bonsai seen on my channel!
