Great work, you certainly have the knack of pulling your mini trees out of trouble! Looks very nice with all the flowers hanging down. Resisting the urge to add to the list 😊
@@BackGardenBonsai totally non-existent here as a plant. It's a popular colour though, "fucsia", but nothing to grow. I wonder why! Maybe can't survive the hot summers?? Worth a try though maybe.....
I read they come from South America. So I guess they could work in Spain I’ve no idea how they love it here. They are always labelled “hardy” so there must be certain species that will probably suit Spain and others that love here. Based on how popular they are here I’m surprised they are not enjoyed elsewhere
@@BackGardenBonsai I've just seen on one of these forum sites (laced with hundreds of ads for British ex pats in Spain), called Talk Quesada. someone asked about fuchsias here and the answer was that above 25° they start to wilt and don't easily recover. Apparently you need root-cooling pots, I guess unglazed ceramic would do, but in summer in Madrid some weeks the night time temperature barely gets as cool as 25° minimum so I'm not too optimistic. Maybe with shade and constant misting they might be ok. Maybe I should put fuschias as a retirement project...
hmmm very interesting. sounds like they would be a lot of work. you could pull it off, but yeah, you might need to babysit it quite a bit. you'll have to keep your eye out for a more tropical tolerant variety
Broski!!! I love that rescue Mission. Is that a type of honeysuckle vine? Outstanding growth in a short period of time. I bet this one is impressive in a few short years. Cheers my friend 😎🍺🍺
I just cleaned up the bottom of the one my mother has in backyard heap of dead grass and dead parts of the plant one part i pulled on was like a mini on like the start of video going to try bonsai it my self haha
No so much a weed. Doesn’t seem to spread but pretty much everyone has one on their Garden here. Very popular. There is all sorts of different varieties. I think they actually come from South America type area so tropical enough. Yet hardy enough to enjoy here. Weird science.
Amazing video man! That was some improvement in just 1 year! I have a couple of fushas in my garden for the past 10 years, theyre about 2cm thick. Now that I see this, i really gotta improve my soil mix, i normally use compost and akadama 1:1. Gonna get some perlite and fired clay :D Fushas can really take a beating, last spring i split 3 apart that were joined together and there was very few roots, but they recovered really well!
Cheers. Yeah some fuchsia can be tough. If you’ve got akadama just use only that. Seems to work for a lot of people. Especially the Japanese. Although always best to experiment as I’m pretty sure Japan and Derry are not exactly the same climate wise. lol
cheers, you just wire it into the pot in the same way you do with any other tree. feed two wire up threw the drainage holes and cross them over to tie the tree in. ...although i rarely do that, i find that so long as there is some roots, i can work teh soil around them and it will hold in place. maybe a stone on top if its a little wobbly.
For the early development of my Bonsai I prefer huge plastic pots. Bonsai pots restrict the plant too much and slow down growth. Bonsai pots are ok when you already have the trunk you want. Untill then bigger is better when it comes to pots.
Dam nice bro I here there are 8000 species around? Part of the Microphylla family nice flowers on them too ! 👌👍
Cheers. I knew there was a lot of variants, but didnt realise as many as 8000. crazy!!!
@@BackGardenBonsai I know right 😁
Nice video thanks for sharing success from indonesia
Thanks for watching :)
Это растение фуксия?

Cheers. I like the flowers too, are these all over spain too, or just this small corner of europe?

Love the way you show the progression over time
Cheers. I just wish the trees would grow faster so I should show even more progress

Cheers. I don’t think it’s related to the honeysuckle. But I see where you’re coming from. Flowers are not too dissimilar?
This is a great rescue, decent tree shape and looks really nice after you saved it!
Cheers :)
Lovely! Look forward to the future first styling 🧐
Cheers Kate :)
You did a great job with the tree!! ❤️😀💡
Thank you. there is still along way to go, but at least its healthy now.
Yes!! Rescue mission.. completate!!! Nice like 👍
Thanks :)
So amazingly beautiful 💕
thanks :)

Ah sweet. Hopefully it grows as wild as mine has! 👍
Wow, what a turnaround. I’ve never heard of those...is that something that grows as a weed where you are? Almost looks tropical!

Really nice job, what a difference! 👍
Cheers J. It’s done well 👍
Nice rescue. Looks great already!
Cheers bro. :)
Thank you so much. I have hope my fuschia plant will make it.
Cheers, they seem to be pretty strong, so hopefully yours will be fine

Hi, any update on this please?
At the end of October :)
Nice rescue
Cheers :)
Good vid. How to wire a fuschia into bonsai pot?
cheers, you just wire it into the pot in the same way you do with any other tree. feed two wire up threw the drainage holes and cross them over to tie the tree in. ...although i rarely do that, i find that so long as there is some roots, i can work teh soil around them and it will hold in place. maybe a stone on top if its a little wobbly.
Hola, cuál fue el sustrato que uso.
partes iguales de perlita, arcilla molar y compost.. 👍 :)
For the early development of my Bonsai I prefer huge plastic pots. Bonsai pots restrict the plant too much and slow down growth. Bonsai pots are ok when you already have the trunk you want. Untill then bigger is better when it comes to pots.
indeed, this is all fact. the problem is space. otherwise i would be doing exactly that
Foist!!!
Always 😂👍👍
