What a team! What a tree!
So nice to see your wife assisting you. A family that repots together, stays together. You have a gift and we appreciate what you bring to the bonsai community.
You have the best intro and music!! Lol. Of course, your video’s are exceptional.
Beautiful
What a gorgeous tree!! Here again, I loved your ideas!! Thanks for sharing!
Wow, what a challenge you had when you and your lovely wife took on with that fabulous tree. When you said all that you are going to do to it, of course, I started shaking in my boots knowing how important it is to prevent root rot with the adenium. I guess you know what you are doing, and you are a very courageous man and you definitely know your stuff! Great video and I learned a lot. Thanks for sharing this video. Phil
Wow, now that's an adenium!!! Great work & beautiful tree!
You impart a lot of wisdom. I always learn something. Thanks!
Truly beautiful tree and work!
Great video, thanks for effort you put into these.
Just came across your channel and Ive learned so much! You guys work so nice together. Can I bring you both home..lol. I have two desert roses that weigh at least 200lbs. They are very healthy but I am running out of potting options. The pots I have are becoming too small. So thanks for the info. Happy Bonsai
Those huge pots are fantastic!
That tree is nothing short of AWESOME! I have 4 Adenium obesums in pots now that started last fall. I bought them off of an online vendor on Etsy. Today I ordered 2 Adenium Arabicums that should be here in about a month. Today is Tuesday, March 21, 2023, so the timing should be perfect. Great channel, guys. I learned a lot, especially about the air pockets after transplanting. 🌱🪴
That is an amazing tree! Congratulations.
That is one beautiful tree! One day maybe my desert rose will be so beautiful! And I love the team dynamic you guys have! Clearly great friends! It makes the video so enjoyable
i love adenium and i watch it again and again . thnk you
I was so happy when I saw this, I’m trying grow my own desert rose bonsai right now
So beautiful Adenium
Love your video, from Barbados 😘
Thank you! 😃
So pretty thanks for sharing really appreciate your time and consideration showing the changes peace ❤️❤️❤️💯 💯❤️❤️💯 💯
This plant is native to my country, South Africa. It's become a very popular plant in Thailand, India and other countries. This specimen is beautiful, must be very heavy!?
Dayum! Now that's a thicc adenium plant!
Great job, nice Video! Keep it up!
All thies are terrific
Thank you very much Zahe!
Wow. Superb
Stupendous tree 😍
you two are adorable A+ smiles
Very nice tree and very good job .
Amazing ❤
Crazy great stuff there.. I would sh*t my pants working on a specimen that was that old and that beautiful. You know what you are doing.
amazing tree wow
Epic tree! Epic Team!
Phasic's Bonsai World thank you 🙏 🌳
So beautiful 😍
Love your videos
Very beautiful.
wow Prefect so far
I am amazed at what you can do with these plants.
Enjoyed this!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I was amazed @ how precise and well, you and your wife, worked on this project together! I love the Adenium Thai Socco, they are my favorite of Adenium
I have an Addendum collection of about 14 adeniums most Thai socco, imported from Thailand and a few arabicums and Obesum. I have loved growing plants, since I was a kid and no other plant, has been as challenge and rewarding, as growing my Adeniums. Been in this hobby now, for 4 years and have had success, once I learned their soil requirements and fertilizer, water direct sun of about 10 hours s day! Thanks again for a very. Interesting video!
Like the natural shape😉
By far, the cutest damn couple in bonsai!
GOOD JOB
Hi edagdwg so much good information to learn to keep our souls dry enough for the plants to grow up nicely done linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯💯 💯💯 💯
Very nice bro
He wasn't lying when he said beautiful
Nossa... belos bonsais, parabéns 👏👏👏🇧🇷🇧🇷
perfect pot , next time go with the same shape size but crackle glaze in white or cream would make that trunk and flower colour really pop, awsome work guys
Ficou linda nessa nova bacia
This is what we call as eight side roots or eight directions roots (八方根)
some may like it some may not
If this adenium doesn't went through this root decapitation, I think they will need read tall and deep flower pot to able to fit the root inside
Now without the root, it just act like normal tree
This method is also very useful to those that facing rotten roots and too wasteful if throw away the whole thing
But only for those that over water but not bacteria infection or pest infection
nice....best regards from beginner
Preciosa.. saludos
Just Curious what it sold for. I sold a Japanese Maple I bought in Oregon for a Thousand dollars to Spielberg for Three Thousand. Sold a Sago Palm in a 72” Box with seven trunks for 30K. That was in the 80s.
Beautiful work. Why do you leave the root system to dry? How often do you water a cutting of an African rose?
Beautiful
New friend from India
Thanks and welcome
Wow beautiful. I think I'm hooked on a new style. You don't need to protect cut branches agains rain getting in?
wow
Taking care of nature I think it is the same as loving God. Thanks for the video 🙏 💚🇧🇷
Hi edagdwg thanks t this is very important to see yo close learning more about how to take care of this loving plant Linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️💯 💯💯 💯💯 💯❤️
Amazing age and shape
Essa flor e linda
Thats absolutely beautiful.
How much does something like that cost?
Muito Belos
Me inscrevi no seu canal achei interesante seu canal
👌👌👌👌👌
I was concerned, that you didn't add an antifungal nor did you seal the cuts! I'm just curious as to why you didn't! I was always told, this is necessary! I own a collection, of about 12 adeniums 6 Obesum and several Thai Socco, imported from Thailand. Love this hobby! I have been growing now, for about 5 yrs.
Brasil !!!
Looks super heavy, but a real beauty...well done guys
Thanks for sharing your expertise on how and what to do with bonsai plants
@@pedrodelafuente4194 a lot of experts (and other succulents) do not consider Adenium to be bonsaï...
The care they needs are slightly different than the typical bonsaï tree
The music in these vids always ruin it for me. Its relaxing to watch the vids without music!
Gostei do resultado, muito bom.
Hermoso arbol cuanto costaria uno de esos
Hi, I bought a Desert Rose plant but I think I put in a wrong pot can I transfer it into the right size pot with stressing it out because went got it couple of leaves fell and looked like it wasn’t going to make it
It’s doing very good right now is growing new leaves
What’s your thoughts?
The best part of the video is at @12:31. Funny, indeed.
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
From other videos about the dessert rose, I thought that before repotting, the roots were really completely cleaned and pruned, the tree had to dry out, so speak, before it was repotted. Is that just for younger trees? I'll send a link to illustrate what I'm thinking of.
BTW, I really liked the color of the round pot so much better that blue rectangular one. But maybe that is just a Northeastern perspective. As usual, beautiful work.
J Ballenger hey J, yes drying applies to desert roses at any age and stage of training. We let it dry out 1-2 weeks prior and another 1-2 weeks post repotting.
We are The Bonsai Supply
Thanks for getting back to me. I'm a little embarrassed for asking and suggesting the links after watching your defoliation of your 100 y/o Adenium and the hen the episode about the "snail" Adenium. --- I like elephant from the last look!
I did hear you had learned a technique using a white powder for covering wounds from a Master teacher in Thailand. So you've no doubt have seen have seen massive Adenium socotranum and equally amazing pots for them.
Another time, perhaps you can share your path to bonsai. Or tell me where to look.
Lastly, can I buy your professional non-bonsai potting soil on lunch next? I can only find the bosai related products.
Thank you and Mrs.The Bonsai Supply (sorry l've forgotten her name, it begins with a M) for your wonderful and educational videos. The Bonsai Supply is one of the spots of tranquility. Thank you again.
J Ballenger hi, no worries at all.🙂 you can find our soil on our website thebonsaisupply.com
Good day from South Africa -Thanks for a great video .I have a few question 1- please repeat the mix that you use -will lecca or bonsai mix be a accepted equivalent 2-How often do you water your Adenium 3-When do yo re-pot 4- In winter do you stop watering .Thank You
alain garbaccio hey Alain, the soil mix is a mixture of lava, pumice pine bark and calcined clay
thebonsaisupply.com/collections/soil/products/professional-bonsai-soil-mix
I was looking to buy a desert rose from you but I’m confused on how often I should water it.
Awesome desert rose bro. That soil is lava rock mix with what?
Thanks Fernando! Check out this link: www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Purpose-Draining-Calcined-Supply/dp/B07M68B4JG/ref=sr_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=bonsai+soil&qid=1584407154&sr=8-6
Where can I get a cutting of the Adenium Socotranum?
How much did you paid for that adenium?? Congratulations you did an amazing job!
Wow
Amazing work
I just want to know Is there any homemade technique to know the age of a tree or plant?
Hey Badalta, unfortunately not, the only way to find out the age of any tree is to cut it in half and count the rings or take a core sample
I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I was wondering what happens to everything you cut off in these videos. Can you root them or is it just done at that point?
Can you show your 100 year old adanium witch you repot 4 years ago thanks
You don’t use glue or latex to seal the cut of trimming. Why?
Also, I read the desert rose can be toxic for pets. Is that true?
I’m starting to love this kind of tree.
Thank you, learning a lot.
Hi! No I don't use anything on fresh cuts, as the fresh cut surface will dry. If you cover it with latex or glue to seal a desert rose you might trap moisture and will loose the branch. On all other species of trees I would seal the fresh cuts.
Yes, they are toxic to humans and pets! The sap is deadly to animal. It is used in Africa, to put on the ends of spears, when their on a hunt!
Awesome tree man! Get your hands dirty Jerome take those gloves off lmao!
LOL
@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply keep em on, im paying the price for not wearing gloves while gardening, nail fungus is difficult and expensive to treat!
Hi what kind of soil you use to grow dessert rose please. I means what are the ingredients for the special type of soil . Thanks 😊
Hi, this is the soil we use.www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Purpose-Draining-Calcined-Supply/dp/B07M68B4JG/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=bonsai+soil&dchild=1&keywords=bonsai+soil&pd_rd_i=B07M68B4JG&pd_rd_r=186e50f2-3795-4aca-9244-33034942d4df&pd_rd_w=e8i2O&pd_rd_wg=hqiNt&pf_rd_p=13bf9bc7-d68d-44c3-9d2e-647020f56802&pf_rd_r=1AHW2D46FKQTT7NDXB29&psc=1&qid=1596456497&sr=1-1-791c2399-d602-4248-afbb-8a79de2d236f
Beautiful bonsai. How do you clean those white little spots on it? I have a 20-year-old dessert rose that has a lot of those spots only that they are big white spots on it how do you clean those spots?
Are you referring to the white spots on the pot? I use WD-40 for that. If you are referring to lichen on the tree itself, I leave those, it shows age!
I noticed that your soil is all rocks and bark. What fertilizers do you use, and at what amounts are you applying them?
thebonsaisupply.com/collections/fertilizer
Like☕🙏👍👍👍
You said your mixture has pine bark. Is it the same type of pine bark that's used as mulch?
Dorothy Young hey Dorothy, it isn’t. Pine mulch is double grinder where as the pine bark we use are shredded from larger nuggets. Check out our soil mixture here. www.amazon.com/Bonsai-Purpose-Draining-Calcined-Supply/dp/B07M68B4JG/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?dchild=1&keywords=bonsai+soil&qid=1592510052&sr=8-6#aw-udpv3-customer-reviews_feature_div
TBH, I prefer the tree in the original state, maybe change the pot the very most, well that just me.
I want to buy one socotranium. From where I can get it. Which nursery in Thailand sale it.
Where in Florida are you located. Are visitors allowed?
Just recently received a desert rose. I left it outside in a similar area as you and the rain has been constant. Woke this morning to see that the plant had turned green. I had a crown of thorns cutting do the same. Is this a sign of over watering? The desert rose is kept in coco coir.
Hey, do you mean the leaves have turned yellow by any chance? If the leaves are green, that is a healthy sign. I would definitely get them out of that soil and use this instead

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply The leaves are good. The trunk and branches are a bright green. They were the normal grey color yesterday and we had plenty of rain overnight and found it bright green this morning.
I'll get a pumice type mix when My trees are better developed and I am less poor. For now, I use the Nigel Saunders Bonsai Blend. Inexpensive and effective.
Looks like RCN
please include more details in the title about what you do in each episode, eg "repot"
The round unglazed looks better with the tree and its a feminine tree tho.
Force it is not good enough for you to enjoy the plants thank for not forcing the plants a fan linda j ☮️❤️ ❤️❤️💯 💯💯 💯
Was this tree grown from a cutting?
VOCÊ não botou fungicidas na raízes quê cortou porque
How much does a plant like that cost?
adenium thai socotranum or adenium socotranum. sp?
What happened to this tree? Do you still have it?
We sold it in early 2019
Such a nicebtree. But the soil mix we need to know.
