Well done. Ive been growing and killing bonsai for many years. Your 5 key points are so right. Even after nearly 30 years of growin bonsai I still kill trees occasionally
@@suer666 it happens, sometimes it’s no fault of our own, diseases, pests, that’s part of the beauty I think. Nothing lasts for ever but it once was there for it shall always be. Thank you for watching
Thank you Xavier, I’m still young in terms of growth, I’m trying to push out different content. To be honest I started my page just to have a record of my trees over the years but I have been enjoying the editing and sharing of knowledge in a novices words for other novices. Hopefully that comes across. Thank you for watching 👍🏼
Hey Mate, great information! I lose tres yearly and repurpose the dead trees in my Halloween display it looks awesome! Still brings me joy to look at them.
really excellent video! Great info and advice for a complete newby like me. You should have way more subscribers. Keep up the excellent content and presentation and you will.
Good video, however, a slight correction! Your use of the term “Perched Water Table” is incorrect and should actually be “Capillary Water Boundary or Table”! A PWT occurs when water is unable to drain through an impermeable layer such a rock or compressed clay, whereas a CWT is as you described! Not intended to be a criticism but this subject is the topic of much confusion in soil biomechanics!
Ooops ! Thanks for the correction, live and learn ! No honestly thank you for the knowledge, may be I’ll update with another video at some point :) thanks for watching and commenting
Great application of horticultural principles. The same factors are also 😊paramount for successful outdoor and indoor container plants. The difference being the human factor where Bonsai are more purposefully tortured by a master where container plants tend to be over pampered by a novice.
I personally find container plants easier to deal with as long as they have sufficient drainage. The container size is the critical factor of how exponentially harder it gets to care for plants/ trees. Over loving or over pampering can also be an issue, or over reaction to any kind of leaf drop etc. thank you for watching :)
My favourite is hard to pick. In terms of browning as a bonsai the Chinese elm is incredibly forgiving and easy to ramify. That being said I’m a sucker for a maple or any flowering trees. Shishigashira or cotoneaster would be my top picks 👍🏼 how about you ?
