Green House in my room!!!
Sorry for the long wait but I have been working on building a green house. Since I don't have the ability to set one up in my yard right now why not just stick it in my room...right?

    5 years later let's say the tree did survive lol it looks almost exactly the same lolol should of repotted to a gallon pot to grow out. I'm bout to buy one that looks way better than this actually looks like a dwarf tree. I'll be letting it grow a bit before trying to jam in a bonsai pot. ill decide if wana repot next spring. Thanks for the video though man ..

  • @mmjnice97
    @mmjnice97 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    To all the questions about how the little tree is doing.. I don't know but I would be surprised if it lived very long before he did a couple of things really wrong... one.... you don't remove all the soil when repotting a new plant.. two....you don't Fertilize a bonsai tree after doing a root purning either.. wait at least a month or two.... three they're was no need at all to cut any of the roots as the pot was plenty big enough for the root system. Plants are very and I mean very finnicky when you dig them up or repot them so always with the least amount or truma.. try to keep at least the soil inside the root ball and expect some die back.. always remember to replant a deciduous trees in early spring before buds pop out.. right now would be pushing it as it late April. He did get some things right of course... like teasing out the roots with a fork or chop stick.. being very gentle.. and spreading the roots outs from the center..

    Succulent just means the leaves and stems are fleshy like a sponge. No botanical succulent family. That plant is Ceropegia as other have said and is from the Apocynaceae or dogbane family. Same as Hoyas and many other very interesting groups.

    • @MikeHunt-lz2hq
      @MikeHunt-lz2hq 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's likely due to the soil you have it in or the pot it in or both . The softer and less compact the soil is the less the roots have to work to go through it resulting in a weaker root system and an all around weaker tree . Once your tree is older you can get it to ramify by doing a type of selective pruning . Basically you cut it back to a bud or leaf scar on each branch and the branches will then bush out you cut one branch back to a leaf or leaf scar it will then grow two branches from that point then those branches get bigger and do it to those so then one branch will bush out into four branches off the one main branch . Be careful tho when deciding where to cut bc some species of trees have been known to have entire branches die off using this method

    • @MikeHunt-lz2hq
      @MikeHunt-lz2hq 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      After a tree has seen a few seasons of growth it's generally better to get them into a bonsai mixture soil or a soil you've mixed up for it's species to grow well in . Considering ph and composition the tree does well in
