The transformation of all of those trees was amazing. I especially loved seeing how that cascade was created. I got a serene feeling just from gazing at the finished products....so appreciated in these pandemic times. Many thanks, Peter!
Dear Peter I follow your videos about the ficus intensively and they are very helpful and instructive for me. I really like the simplicity in which you can understand each bonsai with the necessary resepect. I love your book and I'll put it on the bookshelf first if necessary for advice. Stay healthy and please continue with your videos as long as you can. Kind regards, Andy
Some day my ficus retusa will become just as beautiful as the trees you work with. I only had it almost a year. Rescued from almost nothing, an awful straight flat cut stump. Since then I've cut it at slant. Let it grow, then too much sun on the horrible side. So I transformed it into a hallowed trunk. Everyday I look at it I can't imagine how how much has changed since day one.
Sure glad you continued with part 2. The 3rd one that you also potted was my favorite although they were all beautiful. Thanks for the ficus bonsai lesson, I really enjoyed it.
@@peterchan3100 No Sir There has been an instant connect When u showed us your own hand made pots. I learnt to make my own pots, I made some because i could not afford. Please discuss more about soil mix and feeing How to make Bonsai feed at home Namaskar Thanks a lot
Thank you for your comment 👍👧 Watching your videos are so enjoyable. Some of your comments make me laugh when you are explaining what your are doing. 🤣🤣🤣
I’m in the US so I know these trees can not be shipped here. Still curious just the same... what one of these might sell for? Loved all of them! Especially fond of the semi-cascade! 😻
If only I could volunteer or work and learn there... that'll be awesome. That last tree got me, beautiful and unique. Bravo Peter, thx for sharing and can't wait for the next one..cheers.
I have got a new mic and used it for the first time last Saturday 7 Nov 20. That video won't appear for a while. Big difference you will find in future
@@peterchan3100 I'm sorry, but I swore I heard a consistent volume when you were turned toward and away from the camera. I'm embarrassed but still looking forward then :)
You should make sure to add the date filmed to all these videos. I find myself looking back at your videos for what time of the year I should do certain things to certain trees. Often going by the date published but I know you now post videos from earlier in the year.
When using wire again if you get two pairs of pliars at each end of the wire and yank then apart sharply it straightens the wire,you may have to do it a couple of times
In Florida, sometimes we get down to 20°F. I'll bring mine into our enclosed porch if it's dry. If it is freshly watered or rained on it will come into the house in an unheated room.
Hard to tell because they will have been grown from thick cuttings and planted in the ground to thicken up. Safe guess would be about 10 years if done this way.
Great video! I have some questions: how long does it take for a shipment of trees to be delivered from Asia; how can the trees survive such a long jurney, and do some of them die? Long story short: how is a bonsai delivery from Asia? Thank you in advance
nice work done on Ficus material. Great! I was wondering whether it is better to get rid of the areal roots in the cascade, in order to enhance the contour of the trunk line.
i would love to see the whole journey of a tree, but i recon this is very difficult to film.. like showing the the seedling, the first shaping, the shape after a year and so on
Another great series of lessons. I’m not a huge fan of the aerial roots- could some if those be removed without harm? Some of them seem to interrupt the graceful lines of the trunks. That cascade was a brilliant transformation!! I love watching all of these- you’re a born teacher, and I love watching you think! Many thanks! Jim
Two life lessons followed, dont be too hasty and dont be greedy..applicable to bonsai styling and daily life. Cheers! Thank you Sensei Peter!
Beautiful demonstration all the important points very well explained showing the true perspective as viewed in its true natural surroundings .
I watch for the bonsai knowledge but get great words of wisdom as a bonus!
The transformation of all of those trees was amazing. I especially loved seeing how that cascade was created. I got a serene feeling just from gazing at the finished products....so appreciated in these pandemic times. Many thanks, Peter!
I was much charmed by the semi cascade ficus. How exotic this bonsai is!
Thank you, Mr. Peter! Beautiful work pruning, reshaping, and potting - a Ficus master class! Thank you!
Good night Peter. The transformation has been brutal and the kengai was great. Thank you for showing us your gaze so clearly.

That green pot really made me smile. That tree and the semi cascade brought me more joy than I expected 💚
So beautifull mam.
Amazing trees 🙏 the cascade is fantastic ...
Peter you inspire people to have a go. Such a lovely gift
For someone that doesn't like bonsai you sure did a great job and you're happy about it.
You mean Ficus ? But I love bonsai.
The pots really made the trees top notch. TY for sharing.
Always a great presentation. Very informative, as well as inspirational.
Keep up the great work.
Would love to see these trees in their current state.
Awesome & beautiful Ficus bonsai after prune the leaves. Great styles with aerial roots, that's why many people love ficus bonsai
Beautiful, beautiful finish. Stunning. Peter Chan it is more than not bad. Those babies are worth their weight in Gold.
I think this ficus is my favorite bonsaï since the beginning of your youtube channel. I love ficuses and the trunk of this one is admirable !

Great learning. Thank you Peter . Loved the way you did the cascade . Really innovative!!! Thank you 😊
Great video, thank you. I'm not a big fan of ficuses but this video and the previous one have forced me consider getting one!
Not only the final exposure that is incredible, but the process as well
Loved these ficus videos! Very helpful and inspiring,
Good evening.When you are taking care of Ficus it help me a lot.Because this is the plant we can grow easily.
All the trees shown are very beautiful. I was particularly impressed by the work on the second bonsai.
Wonderful 2part videos. Great results, especially that semi cascade. Just beautiful. Thank you, Peter!
Honestly said, you are brilliant at Ficus Bonsai, I would buy them all had I the money lol!
Un maestro.
Complimenti. Bravissimo.
They are all beautiful! Excellent job! Thank you for sharing.

Absolutely Beautiful 🤗
Ficuses are not really my thing, but damn they turned out good. Very dramatic and beautiful specimens, what an impressive transformation.
Well done sensei. The work on the third ficus is just incredible (the cascade), I love it!!!
Just So So Stunning just Amazingly talented and Beautiful 💟💟💟

In which season are you pruning trees in a bag? Thank you
Wow the result is simply beautiful
Fantastic Peter😊
All tree are very nice! Great material!
Hi Peter I really enjoyed this video love how they have all turned out 👍
Great video. And really beautiful trees. Thank you once again Peter.
Thanks Peter, super trees.
East Spain is perfect for Ficus, we can grow them outside no problem :)
The noise of traffic in the background. matches the doctoring of the trees. Man's stamp on earth.
Anyone know what soil blend he uses for the Ficus?
"Dont act in haste"
*starts chopping leaves immediately*
Hahahaha

Pak mau tanya bonsai dari cangkok atau dari biji??.
wow beautiful ficus bonsai
done
Thanks a lot Sir for this nice presentation with in depth explanations part by part. I appreciate your work and learn a lot. Regards from Imphal.
A beautiful tree! I love the curling on this one. Very nice video master 👍 my amateur tree's are doing well with al your tips and tricks 😁
beautiful bonsai,tanks for sharing.
Awesome tree! It look like a dragon.
Nice job ! I love the way it looks now. =1st one)
Well done. Rgds, Jay.
Excellent made for Bonsai 👍👍
Hi could you please talk about roots and the trunk. Have one trunk is lope sided. Do I cut it or what ?
Loved it 👌
very satisfying video. thank you.
Peters secret is looking into the future of the tree not necessarily the presence of the tree. He see's the tree 5 years from now.
Fantastic work I prefer the semi cascade tree but they as you say are all different.
Beautiful ☺️
How do I stimulate new branches to grow on my plants trunk?
Is it safe to prune mid way into a heavy growing spurt? I'm always nervous touching it when it goes crazy! Thanks.
Grea lesson !
In Florida, sometimes we get down to 20°F. I'll bring mine into our enclosed porch if it's dry. If it is freshly watered or rained on it will come into the house in an unheated room.
Is the 20F for just a couple of hours? If longer - it might kill them I guess.
Good job
Wonderful videos, on the ficus, can you tell me which compost you use, thank you
Great ficus bonsai shaping video! Sir, I have a question..what could be the age of the trees, approximately?
Hard to tell because they will have been grown from thick cuttings and planted in the ground to thicken up. Safe guess would be about 10 years if done this way.
@@peterchan3100Thank you, sir.
25 year
beautiful
I can’t wait for my tree to grow 😍
Ficus bonsai i love it 👍
Great video!
I have some questions: how long does it take for a shipment of trees to be delivered from Asia; how can the trees survive such a long jurney, and do some of them die? Long story short: how is a bonsai delivery from Asia?
Thank you in advance
From asia to where?
In this case UK
From Japan to UK can take anything from 3 to 6 weeks depending on whether it is non stop or stopping along the way.
Same applies to China, Korea etc
i live in Belgium, do you think my ficus bonsai would benefit from putting it in my greenhouse? even in winter?
They can't stand frost - need a min temp of 5 C
@@peterchan3100 thank you very much!
how or where did you get all these? I would like to do something similar for practice.
Great work.
From Sydney.
nice work done on Ficus material. Great!
I was wondering whether it is better to get rid of the areal roots in the cascade, in order to enhance the contour of the trunk line.
Yes
Can’t wait to watch, I guess getting ready for work can wait. Lolo
Yep I had to watch... now off to work, a guys gotta have something to do while his trees 🌲 grow!!!
👍 great work sir but it takes how much time to grow this plant ..
In Bonsai, the Journey is Part of the fun :) i Love pruning and wiring my trees, and watch Them developing :)
how old is that tree roughly? and what type of ficus?
Beautiful video ❤️💚🙏
I have a ficus that has a root that seems a little spongy. Should I cut it off? Will that harm it? It’s a ginseng type ficus
You are amazing!
i would love to see the whole journey of a tree, but i recon this is very difficult to film..
like showing the the seedling, the first shaping, the shape after a year and so on
Masterly advise thanks for sharing
Is this a ficus retusa or ficus ginseng?
GORGEOUS!!!!!!
well done!
Another great series of lessons.
I’m not a huge fan of the aerial roots- could some if those be removed without harm? Some of them seem to interrupt the graceful lines of the trunks.

Thank you Jim. Removing some aerial roots does not harm the tree because they are extremely vigorous
What kind of ficus is this?
