Many bonsai artists explain how to do procedures but you go into great detail of why these procedures are done. To me that is the most important portion of learning … I subscribed … thank you
Great information...The description of leaf yellowing was very easy to understand and a great tip which I have never heard...Also greatly appreciated your discussion on watering...These concepts are second nature to you but very helpful to a novice like myself...Thanks...
That was so helpful about the fert, ive always been a bit worried if im doing good or bad but i wrote it all down haha, thankyou, a bit more confident now
Thankyou again for sharing your thoughts on watering and feeding our Bonsai trees Madam Bonsai. Very helpful with the seasons we have in Melbourne right now.
Very informative video. Thank you madam bonsai. The advice about the under/over watering is gold advice, as it's so hard to know whether you are under/overwatering as a beginner.
I fertilise in spring, but you're right, they do grow like crazy. Perhaps I'll try waiting for summer, perhaps midsummer will be a better time here in Scandinavia. Some of my plants are in training, being fattened up etc., they'll still get their spring fertiliser. Good video!
Thank you! Started following you in 2024...loads of good tips and tricks As from a bonsai beginner perspective...these help a lot...so thank you and big UP🫡👏
You are so very knowledgeable Madame Bonsai! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! I hope you are well, and that you will soon be making another video. Thank you again!
Hello Madam Bonsai, l have just watched this video and found it fascinating along with great knowledge that you have kindly shared. I am looking forward to watching your channel going onwards and l will dive back into your previous videos also. Thank you very much for sharing with us. Best wishes to you. Jason from Melbourne Australia.
Welcome and thank you for visiting my Chanel I hope we will learn relaxing making bonsais together th-cam.com/video/kJ8AoOefKrU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UuO5yytYHpG5IzBg
Just discovered your channel.... I really like your approach, your explanations are easy to understand and with the visuals it easy to retain. I have watched hundreds of videos in the past several years , many having to do with watering. This is the first time I've seen the yellowing of the leaves (outside in, inside out) explained. I have asked several bonsai professionals to explain Heavy Fertilizing to promote rapid growth in the development stage. Up to this point I have Not received an answer to my question. To me the answer should be relative simple for them. Just tell me if the fertilizer has a recommended dose, how much can I increase it to achieve growth without harming the tree. I realize that every tree can be different but I constantly here these professionals say they 'Heavy Fertilized' without explaining how . This is the first video I have watched of yours and you may have covered this subject previously..... If you haven't possibly you could touch on the subject of fertilizing trees that most beginners would have...... Including type of fertilizer NPK, frequency etc. I feel the way you explain things all of us beginners would understand the terminology and the how tos' . Thank you
Thank you for visiting my Chanel others videos about bonsais already and will upload to share for you all In regards to your question Fast grow The golden rule is that good soil must provide all nutrients, including organic matter, air, water, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. So, to improve your soil quality from better to best, you should never forget to add these nutrients timely! Adding compost, best banana Pell’s To make a nutritious, organic substrate, we can choose between organic or chemical fertilizers. Manures, compost, and bone meal are examples of organic fertilizers obtained directly from plant or animal sources, while the inorganic fertilizers various forms - liquid, powdered, or even granular. add fertilizers, scratch the soil using a cultivator. Apply the fertilizer by gently pouring or spreading it depending on the form. Check with your local Nusery Suply if you are in Melbourne I can share them with you More often will help it grow fast not more then what required I hope it help
Thank you for making such informative videos the knowledge that you share is really helping me learn more about my plants and I must appreciate the beautiful trees in your garden and the way you deliver the information and knowlege is just superb I need your help with a few things 1. Finding Akadama or any other special bonsai soil where I live is impossible so please suggest a simple not too fancy soil mix that works equally well 2. Does potting a plant in bigger container or even ground help faster growth Looking forward for a reply
Thank you for your visit Technically plants grow in any soils provided it it gave well drainage Nutrition With garden pot mix ok add 10% of clay balls if possible if not anything help open soils for oxygen for roots acid-loving plants Azalea, Rhododendron, Camellia, Magnolia and even Blueberries! Ceanothus, Japanese anemones and Pieris japonica If plants need acids then add a bit sulphur for it which you can buy any garden supply Akadanna is the soils have double lime in it You can buy lime add in for your pot mix to plants love Akadanna Doesn’t it help
@@MadamBonsai2023 wow you really are are awesome madam bonsai and when I say madam I really mean it with all respect I’ve never seen anyone adding like to the potting mix will definitely try it and what ever you’ve suggested I’ll be doing that for sure Lots of love and respect from Pakistan
Great tip about upward watering on the pines. I have to ask about the discolouration on the azalea leaves. I have several that seem to go into different shades of red and yellow and often with bits of black. Is this a sign of a mineral defficiency in the soil or nothing to be concerned about. They can have this all year round sometimes. i only ask because I noticed that your azalea leaves had the same reddish marks on the leaves too. Great video by the way :)
Stephanitis pyrioides get to azalea a lot and it stay under leaves Just give it spray often like ones a month don’t wait still you see them with mix 1 part of vinegar 5 parts of water spray upward as they all stay under Azales leaves
Hi Madam Bonsai! Gilbert from California here. Thanks again for a very informative video as always. I’m new to bonsai and I have a variegated boxwood bonsai and leaves are turning yellow and brown this summer.. should I keep it under the shade and water more often to recover? Please advise. Thank you so much and more power!
I have said for years that Spring fertilising for most Bonsai is a waste of time! A tree withdraws nutrients from the leaves in Autumn and releases it back in Spring, it doesn’t need fertilising until the first leaves have hardened. Then a single dose of a higher Nitrogen fertiliser then a balanced organic or slow release until late Autumn with a half strength mid winter dose for evergreens. I also reduce feeding during the mid summer months as most plants go into semi dormancy when it gets hot!
The best part of this video outside of the great advice is the face at the end of describing when and how to water.
I’m glad
Many bonsai artists explain how to do procedures but you go into great detail of why these procedures are done. To me that is the most important portion of learning … I subscribed … thank you
