I've always loved perennial potentillas since I first saw them. And that entire time I've been wondering "can this be used for bonsai?". When I was in California I saw a really beautiful potentilla in the garden of Peter Tea, who did an apprenticeship at Aichi-en, so I'm now convinced that there's more work to be done to explore this species. Keep experimenting!
i still use my old bent fork too. its great for smaller shohin and mame size tree roots. almost bought one of these ptnetntillia the other day. i got a small leaf azalea rhododendron hybrid instead tho. they had better triunk bases. only 10$ us for 2 trees. gotta love the sale racks lol. thanks notion bonsai. always great content
Thank you for taking the time to produce your videos. I dont have years left to bonsai trees, however, I am going out to buy a potentially and get started..
Great video Adam...I will try this kind of tree. You did a great job on both trees. Keep the videos coming. Your videos are just well explained, well done and high quality. KUDO's to you.
Nice video ! I have 2 Potentillas, just bought this Spring, I did the first styling already and now I let them grow out (I pruned them back quite hard during the first styling). Both have made a lot of back buds and the canopy is looking green so I think they're in good health, I hope they stay that way 🤞
Hello Adam, great video! I would like to ask you, if you are planing to do sort of "tour" video, where you possibly show all of your trees at the moment? Or at least the most interest ones? I like your style and i would like to see more of your trees. Thank you and wish you all the best!
Ive been watching your videos over the month and have enjoyed them and also learnt alot. Carry on Adam - for a young man your enthusiasm is infectious !👍
Adam, you must have been reading my posts on Bonsai UK. I had been asking about Potentilla as bonsai and received some great photos, what beautifully aged trunks these trees produce and in such a relatively short time too. Abbotswood is a particularly good variety as a starting point.
Awesome thanks you! Your so great at getting bad to me. I have another question for you. I bought my third cotoneaster because I killed the first two. I have no idea what I did wrong but it dropped all its leaves and died. Any suggestions on caring for this plant? Kim🍁🇨🇦
I have a sick potentilla bonsai, I think it’s struggling due to last years heat , a single flower this year and now it seems to be going down hill, I’m going ti give it a weak feed of liquid seaweed.
The best time to prune I have found is during the summer. It's important to make sure that the tree is healthy before chopping at it though! Hope this helps!
Bravo ! .. and i agree, Less is More
Very interesting tutorial. I feel I might dare to give it a try starting 'bonsaiing' potentilla. Thank you.
Well done
Easy to follow .
Hopefully I can do the same closely
Great help for bonsai making newbie like me
Thanks a lot
Hey thanks oliveambros 🪴😊 The potentilla is a great species if you are getting started!

Great to see you getting into the Potentilla. Just the sort of stuff we can find in nurseries now. Cheers

Hey Pedro! Aw nice one man! I really love this species for Bonsai
@@notionbonsai I agree with Adam, they're one of my favourite species to make bonsai of (another is Cotoneaster )
Another top quality video Adam. 🙏
Thanks Jason! Do you have any Potentillas? 😀

Thanks very much David!
Great video, Adam. I really appreciate the way you describe in detail why and how you arrive at each decsion you make.
Hey Martin! Thank you very much! I try to explain everything so that beginners to Bonsai can easily learn!

Thank you Tinoshke07! Ahh very nice! They back bud so easily. You can get good ramification on them in a short space of time!

Hey Lamper! I may do this for a future video!! 😊

Hey Mike! Ohh nice one!! I'm glad that this video was just in time! I just love the bark and flowers on them!
😁❤
Que bueno
Gracias!
Hi Adam, I was wondering, when you made those polymer clay pots did you seal them before using them?
Kim🍁🇨🇦
Hey Kim! There is no need to seal them as after they are cooked in the oven they become waterproof! 🤗
Awesome thanks you! Your so great at getting bad to me. I have another question for you. I bought my third cotoneaster because I killed the first two. I have no idea what I did wrong but it dropped all its leaves and died. Any suggestions on caring for this plant?

Can you PLEASE make videos on how to grow from seeds?
Hey!! I have one on how to grow Maple Bonsai from seeds 😀
I have a sick potentilla bonsai, I think it’s struggling due to last years heat , a single flower this year and now it seems to be going down hill, I’m going ti give it a weak feed of liquid seaweed.
Aw nooo! Sorry to hear this John! I hope you can rescue it!
👍👌👌

Please make a mango or avocado tree bonsai. Please brother. Love from Bangladesh
I may do this in the future! Thanks for the suggestion 🤗 Hi from Ireland ☘
@@notionbonsai oh brother. You are good and your hair just awesome....
@@islamialo Thanks for the kind words!
What time of year is best for this type of work with the potentilla, please?
The best time to prune I have found is during the summer. It's important to make sure that the tree is healthy before chopping at it though! Hope this helps!
how often to u water them??
Hey! Its best to not let the soil fully dry out 🙂
Sorry, just giving advice to you, try to see Indonesian bonsai content and try to apply it😊
