Yeah it's a forgiving plant

What's outrageous about it?

@@godisgod to my untrained eye it looks like its completely butchered.

@@a5dr3 to most people it does. This approach is for growing "bonsai" tho, not "houseplants"

Thank you so much

I accidentally killed it during a repot

I just let it grow under LED lights for a few months

Be sure to pour some liquor for him

Yeah I hate it

I'll make one when I get back from traveling. I'm living overseas right now. But this one looks so good now. Can't wait to show an update.

I've been traveling so my friend is watching my trees in his garden. I will make an update once I settle back in. What style did you buy?

I got the dragon style, it should be here tomorrow. I can’t wait

@@coachexoticbully Nice! I def wanna buy more once I get back to a more stable lifestyle. Do you remember which age group/size it is? Small medium or large?

It’s medium size I paid around 96 with the shipping they said that’s the smallest one they have right now. I think they run out of the small one and they are still recovering from the volcano.

@@coachexoticbully Gotcha. Well whatever you get I'm sure it'll look dope

I got it from the "99cent bonsai" page on facebook

Thanks I’ll check it out

Do you have any contact information from the seller you got that from, I really want to have a premna

What the fuck are you talking about?

It's a great journey to be on. Thank you for stopping by and watching

I appreciate it. I've been traveling and so I don't have any of my plants with me. Once I settle again I look forward to making these types of videos again. Thanks for watching

I did a crazy repot where I tried a new technique I hadn't seen done before and it didn't end up surviving it. I think it could work but I'd have to plan it better next time. I'll do a video on this technique at some point

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed yourself.

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you. Starting from a bush is a great idea. Wih you luck in styling it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks

Thank you! I am not sure if he has seen it either. I did share the link with him but he said he had trouble loading videos on his computer. If you see him please share it with him. Thank you for watching.

What other tree are you talking about?

Yes I love them. Thanks

Thanks

I like them too. They grow so fast. Thanks for watching

It spent most of its life outdoors. I only had it for about a year when I made this video, but it grew quite a bit within that year. I had it growing indoors under LED light (no sunlight at all)

@@godisgod I have mine in my office for work in the window but it is a north facing window. I think I am going to get a grow light for it to supplement the light it gets.

@@sharkhaywood Yeah that might help because north facing windows have the weakest light.

Thank you

Which part?

I have had it at a friend's house because I have been traveling. I will gladly make an update video as soon as I can. Thanks for watching

It's in heaven

Thank youfor watching. Glad it could help. The thought process is the most important. Having a long-term vision and using that as your guide leads to the most beautiful plants.

Thank you. I hope you have fun repotting it. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll try to help.

Thank you for watching anyway

Lol. I ain't mad at you for that

I personally have not heard that. But with these plants, it's ok to be safe and wait until the leaves start to soften (they store water in their leaves, so a good sign is to usually wait until the leaves start to wrinkle and soften a bit)

Thank you!

That's dope that you have so many of them. That's definitely my dream to eventually be able to start growing a large number of bonsai. I want to be able to experiment on them and just watch them each develop over time. Thanks for watching!

I don't get the joke. Which part are you referring to?

Thank you. The trick is to let it grow vigorously, and then prune it back hard to encourage lots of movement and taper

Thank you! I actually got rid of the whole setup because I moved across the country. I'm actually about to move again so all my bonsai are being cared for by a friend at the moment. I haven't had a setup this solid since the end of 2020. I plan to do this again tho once I find a place I wanna settle

Thank you! I am very excited to see this one develop over the years.

I respect David very much. His techniques are sound and can be used in many applications. I hope to visit his nursery someday. Thank you for watching!

Oh it works alright. If your electricity is cheap and you can crank it up to give the plants maximum light, they will grow pretty well. I sold all my growing gear because I have been moving around, but when I am ready to buy again, I would either buy a cheaper light from alibaba (probably Kingbrite...I bought a light from them before and it was good), or I would buy from Chilled. Chilled makes some AMAZING lights. Amazing, but it is pricier than the ones you'l find on alibaba. Personally, I would rather save my money and buy from Chilled because I know their stuff is superior

The sumo in this video is one tree, not a clump style. Because it was pruned back so hard (it was pruned back to being almost 1" tall) when it was young, it branched really close to the root base. As it aged, those branches thickened into "sub-trunks", which si why it looks like a clump style. Also, the aerial roots have fused with the trunk, which add a lot of character and further create the look of a multitude of trunks

@@godisgod Awesome! thank you <3

Same as cannabis. I used around 400-600.

@@godisgod Thanks for the prompt response! i currently have a ficus under 300PPFD of LED clone bars, looks like ill need another set.... darn....

@@beardedbudzusa1596 Yeah 300 is just a tad low, especially for a ficus. But it will hold it pretty steady. For more growth you'll have to increase PAR

Ok, when I do my next one in Photoshop I will do a tutorial for sure! Great idea, thank you

Thank you. I hope to visit Malaysia someday.

I ordered it before they released them, I think, so it may have taken a few weeks. I don't remember.

I love growing bonsai indoors. I've been growing outside because I moved to a smaller place, but eventually I want to grow indoors again

hahaha...I had to rewatch it to remember what reference I made. Good times
