How can anyone give any of these videos a thumbs down Mr. Chan is one of the best and I've learned almost everything I know from these basically step by step videos this channel is definitely one of the best and informative bonsai channels on TH-cam if not THE best
Perfect timing! The buds are just now swelling on my korean hornbeams - time to get to go work. I love your videos. You deliver master-level information with such class and humility.
Peter thank you for all the fantastic videos! I've started a small green carpet juniper bonsai after watching your tutorial and it already looks great. I love the root over rock maple you've shown, could you do a video talking about how to start a root over rock bonsai or exposed root bonsai? I would be worried about harming the plant with too much of the roots exposed. Thank you for all you're quality content!
Love your videos. I’ve learned a lot. I plan to collect plants growing in my yard in February and develop some bonsais. You made a statement I am confused about. You said root bound plants can’t get enough air to breath, but trees don’t breath air.
Peter you have become my favourite youtube channel, I absolutely love your videos and have learned so much from them, please keep up the great work you’re doing
As someone who gets a lot of knots in her hair, watching the root trimming is strangely satisfying. Does pruning roots stimulate growth of roots or growth of branches/leaves?
If I could make a request, would you make a video on the processes of creating a bonsai from cutting(depicting what to do in different stages of the tree's growth)? Not a step by step guide, as every tree will be a different case, but just a general guide on what we may want to focus on most during certain stages of growth.
Peter, thanks for all these valuable information. You say that deciduous trees should never be repotted once their leaves came out, or you have to cut all the leaves. Does this still hold if the tree can be put in a very humid unheated green house? Or is it still better to cut all the leaves even if it can go in a green house?
Hi. I enjoy watching your videos. Very informative. Doesn't the sphagnum moss you put in the pot retain too much moisture and lead to root rot? Also, I remember watching one of your videos where you showed a tree that you repotted in just sphagnum moss because it was sick and you said that that would help it recover. Unfortunately I don't remember which video it was and I would like to watch it again. Can you tell me which one it was? Thanks very much and keep up the great videos!
Hi, i remember you said that every tree can be made a bonsai. this year i started to start my first pepper plants from seeds and let them grow a full year. after that i would like to make one of the best of my plants a bonsai. now i would like to dare you to make a pepper plant bonsai too. i would love to see how someone with a expert level of bonsai makeing would tackle makeing bonsai from a pepper plant.
Thanks again, hope the sphagnum saves my mothers Larch forest, the stuff I got isn't like yours, it's cut so it's more like sawdust, hope it works the same.
Try to find the whole strand sphagnum because you could easily rot your forest. I grow orchids and pure sphagnum is used by a lot of growers as a medium to "rehabilitate" struggling or root-less plants. The "magic" works because full strand sphagnum stores but also evenly distributes moisture. It needs to be light and fluffy because otherwise it works like a never drying sponge and fast plant killer. Maybe try to look into New Zealand moss (in general they're a big supplier) or buy it online. They sell it as a compacted and pressed bricks that you rehydrate yourself. You dont need much because it grows 10x in volume.
Are you pruning back to where two branches come off from the main branch, and/or pruning back in an attempt to create new branch forks? Love your videos by the way!
Peter Chan I absolutely love your video's and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. How long after root pruning should you wait to begin feeding the tree again, so I dont burn the roots?
@@peterchan3100 whether this relates to other species, but I'm wanting to work on my first which is a Chinese Elm. It's from a Bonsai nersury. So trunk has some thickness to it, but thin branches. Other branches shooting off from the main ones. Was wondering if you'd be able to cover pruning technique to thicken branches. Also a guide on what to remove from main branches, so growth will focus on main branches rather than wasted energy on shouts from junctions. Root pruning and tap root cutting would be helpful for that particular tree as well. I'm not to sure if you've covered those things in previous videos, I was unable to find. Even trunk thickening and nubari talk would be good too. Thanks for your time Peter. I appreciate it as an up and coming enthusiast. Your videos are what got me interested in the first place.
A good nursery technique but for professional refining needs more detailed work. Understandable from a UK nursery where production and time is titred down to the essence but Japanese nurseries are much more fastidious.

No problem at all sir, keep the good feed coming. 👍

Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and sharing your experience. I have learned so much.
What a stunning tree!😍 exactly the type of bonsai I'd like to have in my possession one day. Beautiful👌

Simply magnificent as always can't wait until your next video
Thank you for your time
Done all my trees, but nice to see the tricks of a Master at work 👍
Learing lot of thinks from your video. Thanks

Gorgeous tree. Thank you for the lesson.
All those roots in just 3 years. Wow that would be hard to keep up with if one had very many.

Hello, my question is about the use of peat moss on trying to recove e juniperus, would it not be too wet for juniperus? Thanks in advance.
Thanks Peter
So you can use pine bark, and peat moss with no fertilizer on trees ?
What is up, with all the subliminal logo flashes during the video? Is this some kind of hypnotic trade secret?
Eric Michel
I didn't see anything.🙃
Some spectators were using their flash cameras

@@Olcia27 Thanks, thats what I needed to know, this stuff seems like more for a mix
What a great tree!!!

Peter Chan I absolutely love your video's and appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. How long after root pruning should you wait to begin feeding the tree again, so I dont burn the roots?
Wait until you see the tree start growing again
I usually wait a couple of months - so if this tree was repotted at the end of March - I will feed in early June
peter chan thank you very much
Nice job, Steve ;)
Is there a best time of year to prune deciduous trees?
Subliminal messages? Why do I want to fly to England all of a sudden....
"some people is afraid to prune, but dont be afraid"
lots of rock in the soil mix.
Can we put it in a pot 5 times that size so we don't have to re-pot it constantly?
The tree's growth won't be stunted and it will grow bigger. Also it won't look like a bonsai.
What do you like more conifers or deciduous trees?
I prefer deciduous trees especially Maples
Hi Peter,
Any chance on an in depth video about Chinese Elms please
What exactly do you want me to cover in a video about Chinese Elms?
@@peterchan3100 whether this relates to other species, but I'm wanting to work on my first which is a Chinese Elm.
It's from a Bonsai nersury.

That Jumpscare at 4:40 tho
??
Peter scissor hands
Muito lindo
What substrate do you use for bonsai?
4:41

To high in the pot and you should change/rake of the old top soil.

What happened, many people have pointed it out but I don’t see anything
