- This is my transformation of this Podocarpus Bonsai I recently acquired from a Hardware Store.
I changed the trees appearance and features a lot with long and detailed work.
I also editted it in a way, that you could precisly see the things I did.
I hope you like it :)

I bought the music from Simon Groß
Looks so beautiful. Great job. I have one of these trees just a bit smaller and honestly and I don't know where to start.
I'm just letting it grow so far.
Amazing wiring skills so neat.
Honestly they grow so slowly, I have a smaller one that I’ve had for about 2,5 years and it barely thickened. I’d recommend getting a larger one or just putting it in something like an air pruning pot and let it grow for a couple of years
Thank you :)
How would you advise to prune it while growing it in the air pot
@@GoodSamaritan1972 I mean airpots are basically a tool to gain a larger trunk. So as Little as possible pruning, I’d only maintain the basic structure and otherwise let the tree grow freely
@@Bonsaifly : Do you wire the main trunk during the air pot stage?
@@GoodSamaritan1972 if you want to shape the trunk do it while it’s thin. Doesn’t matter which pot it is in
Wow i just was gifted a 16 year old podocarpus bonsai. this gives me so much inspiration. cant wait to see what is under this S style bush! Mahalo for the great video!
Very nice!! As a beginner (and an old one at that) I have decided that I just need to start "playing" with what I can find. Last week, I found in the Clearance section of a local nursery a (I believe) 5 gallon pot with a label that said Podocarpus. It looked interesting and I spent $20 dollars on it. When I took it out of the pot, it turned out to be three plants !! Got them separated and put them in different containers. I know that they will grow slowly, but at least one of them has a very cool shape already and I will start wiring in the coming days, hoping that one day it will become a nice bonsai.... right now they are just messy plants 😁. Your video was very instructive and provided me hope !!
Nice work all the way from Trinidad 🇹🇹. Keep up the good work 👏 🙌
Thank you 🙏🏼 glad to have Bonsai people from around the world here :)
That's a very nice start for this tree as bonsai! It would have probably been easier to leave that carving part for after wire removal, but you probably already figured that out 😄
I was thinking, with the current prices for copper you must be spending a small fortune on copper wire 😲
Yeah I was just anxious to get started and honestly love the outcome, I look at it every day!
It’s actually not copper but brown aluminum wire. I prefer brown to black because it doesn’t dominate the tree while it is applied :)
@@Bonsaifly Interesting, I didn't know there was such a thing as brown alluminium. You learn something new every day. :)
Wow, one of my dream materials...😍😍😍
Yes, I was lucky to find it! :)
Next level stuff! It will be a beautiful tree. You're obviously an artist with the carving and even your wiring is beautiful! I don't have that kind of patience, lol.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It’s honestly just a bit of practice, you do it enough you get there :)
Wont it stress the plant though? Especially after just repotting it?
@@GoodSamaritan1972 sure does, but the repotting was basically a slip pot and the tree is subtropical
So beautiful
Thank you :)
Danke für die Videos! Schaue sie mir an zum relaxen :D more bonsai asmr pls
Great job David! Top notch bonsai skills. 👍
Thank you! This was one of my most thorough stylings so far. I am glad you like it :)
Wow beautiful bonsai my friend 😍🙏
Thank you 🙏🏼
Beautiful bonsai 👍 good job Mr 🙏🤝
Thank you friend :)
Nice
What is the fertilisation for this plant?
How often would you advise to fertilise it ,...if i grow it in the tropics?
Same fertilizer I use for all my trees, tropicals can be fertilized all year, indication for fertilization is when the tree is pushing growth
Good job bro 👍🤝
Thank you 🙏🏼
Can I pruning in summer
Do you a picture or video of what it looks like now 2 years later?
Hey there! I actually gave this one away. Podocarpus grow very slow here and I decided to give all of mine up and pursue different species to do Bonsai with
What is that yellow paint you painted on?
Lime sulphur
After how long to remove the wire?
It is still on more than a year later
How old is this plant?
12 years
@@Bonsaifly I have 5 8 year olds that were grew together in a nursery pot straight up and the trunks are not nearly as thick. We made them into a forest scene. How can I thicken the trunks?
@@alexverchereau5142 hey there!
Well, it all depends on the conditions they were grown in. Most ficus Bonsai you can buy in a supermarket are like 6 years old - grown in subtropical regions in China. Same with this tree (if you look closely at the video the Shari i made on the backside was a trunk chop). Basically the easiest way is to just let the tree grow without cutting anything. But growing conditions (light, temperature, humidity and soil) also make a big difference
