    I was kind of hoping you would explain ways of how we can tell if the soil is actuallly dry or not… The top often feels bone dry, but I get anxious because I have no way of telling how much moisture is actually left under that dry top layer/the bottom…
    Either way I absolutely love your videos, you are the biggest reason why I took the leap of starting bonsai. So thank you. These video’s have by far been the biggest help in my journey. It’s really difficult to find proper bonsai content that contains all the information plain and clear. You have provided me with just that

    • @BonsaiEn
      @BonsaiEn  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      you can dig your finger down into the soil to see how deep the moisture is, if you have a well draining soil it should be fairly uniform the whole way through, if you have a dense soil that doesn't drain too well then the bottom may still be wet and it will be a fine balance of keeping the top moist but not having the bottom too wet. you can see the importance of a good mix.

      @@BonsaiEn I do, thanks a lot for the response. Momentarily it’s in a pretty dense soil because that’s how I received it from the nursery. Since it is summer I do not plan to repot. I know some repot in the fall, but I want to wait till spring considering the climate here. Would putting some bark or moss on top help with keeping the top moist or will this only stimulate rot and fungus?

      I do water during the winter but we have very different winters. as mentioned in the video watch and react for your particular environment and situation. If there is moisture still in the soil then you don't need to water, do your checks closer to midday or in the afternoon so you don't mistake morning dew for moisture in the soil.

    I have a pruning question. i actually just purchased my first bonsai today, and not really planning on doing anything other than watering for a month or so... but, i would like to know if standard garden shears can be used in place of specialized bonsai cutters for the pruning stages? i will also say that the one i have is a juniper that, for now, will be living directly next to my south-facing window since my local climate is currently over 100°F and i don't want to burn the tree. I live in Texas if that gives you a better idea for that.

    • @BonsaiEn
      @BonsaiEn  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi, I would recommend not having the tree inside even if it is hot, I'm in Australia and my junipers sit out in that heat all summer on black bench tops. If your worried you won't be able to keep up with watering move it to a slightly shaded position. Keeping it inside won't do it any good, the window will filter out the UV light it needs to photosynthesise.
      Secondly with pruning, chances are you won't be able to fit the regular pruning shears in-between the needles to cut the actual branch and you'll end up cutting through the needles as well which will cause when to brown and die back, bonsai scissors are specifically designed with very fine blades to get in and cut with precision.

    So it is safe to be outdoors in 90 degree weather? Online different places said it cannot exceed 85 or it would damage it.

    • @BonsaiEn
      @BonsaiEn  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It all comes down to the care and health of the tree. For a juniper that has a healthy root system and the proper watering and care 90f is mild compared to what mine go through. in summer here its not uncommon for them to be out in 107f without shade all day. I guess where ever you are reading 90f they are just playing it safe assuming who ever is reading it doesn't have their watering up too scratch.

      The foliage can handle a snow load no problem, it's preventing the roots from freezing that is the trick. In nature the roots are in the earth which is naturally insulated. In a Bonsai pot the roots can easily freeze as there is no insulation.

    What to do when our winters are harsh? Harsh as in -20 to -30 celcius at worst? I have no basement or garage as suggested in the video, and my balcony is a french balcony, so no room to speak of. My juniper is small and I just bought it.

    • @BonsaiEn
      @BonsaiEn  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's going to be hard in that situation. It will be too harsh outside for it but the warmth of the house will confuse it. Your best bet though is to have it inside during the winter and get it back out as soon as the weather permits. If there is a room in your home that doesn't get as much heating put it in there.

      Those aren't so much juniper specific topics, lime sulphur sprays can be used both as a preventative spray over winter for fungal issues and pests and it's also great at treating spider mite. Copper sprays are a treatment for fungal infections. A major one for junipers would be blight.
