[@romino23]

so cool hey!

[@growclipbonsaiforseniors1951]

I had to return and watch the video from the start. Second time around is a charm watching the Master of Root work in action. Great Part 1. Excellent!!!!!

[@user-fb3pu3qx3t]

Nigel’s videos are my new safe space.

[@mirandusings]

I hope “Ficus Friday” becomes a real thing for this channel. Ficus is one of my favorite bonsai material, and I love so many of your examples of ficus

[@katana24]

For me would be ficus Saturday afternoon 😁

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Cool. maybe Ficus week!

[@ImNotAProfessional]

I think that would be a great idea
I missed a few vids 🙁 so i thought it was a new thing i missed 😂👍🏻😂😂👍🏻🙈

[@carloscruz6536]

Hi Nigel thanks for sharing your knowledge with us, you are the plastic surgeon of bonsai 👍👍🇵🇷

[@manthan1021]

Nigel the tree is loking insane 🌳
Love the bonsai 🌳

[@BlueSkyBonsai]

Excellent root work Nigel! Love the charcter of that ficus. I wonder how much it could reach in the auction...

[@asmaidipangeran3843]

Wow, what a nice mini bonsai, greetings from Indonesian bonsai

[@RonMaurer]

29:47 Do the large root stumps left from removing a “potato root” re-grow? Would cut paste help the tree &/or prevent this? I recently removed one on my willow leaf ficus but just repotted without paste. Thanks! Also; Dig the “Ficus Friday” idea! 🌱😎

[@TheBonsaiZone]

They will grow fine roots from the cut points and eventually some will become bulbous in the future. You just have to keep working on the roots each time you re pot to keep them under control.

[@marysoldeeley2218]

Big job!

[@janisgriffith2919]

I could watch root work videos for hours.

[@patsfreund9164]

Always enjoy watching your videos. You are excellent in the manner in which you explain the "whys" as to your design choices. I learn a great deal about how to "read" my own trees' development and how to make design choices. Thanks so much for sharing your expertise.

Searched for this comment 🐿️

Great! Thanks❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@tscraven]

I was wondering if you where able to get ahold of a Dragon Fruit Cactus? I will send you a cutting if you want?

[@aaryansetia9093]

Anyone notice him not using his personalised turning table for repotting?Maybe because this tree is the Club's tree

[@BonsaiJCan]

Quite the root work so far, looking forward to part 2 👍

[@YOtaBZH]

this trunk is so "whitish" for a tiger bark :) fat one you got there !

[@johnheckles8239]

Have you ever thought to yourself “I’m basically a tree barber 🧐” 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 lol

[@NEWCREATIONRaiSantosh]

I'm so, excited Nigel it's so, imagine tree.

[@BlueJayBonsai]

Great job Nigel. You are indeed the Root Master™️ One of us club members will be very lucky if we win the auction, to get this Root Master™️ rehabbed ficus. 👍

[@Wiratama13]

Very good

[@brianmooney5552]

Do ficus propagate from root cuttings or just branch cuttings?

[@69kesh]

hello Nigel what fertiliser you use to keep the foliage lush and green

[@rdh67dh]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@brucedeacon28]

👍

[@RosarioCostanzo]

Nice work, whoever wil get tree is really lucky

[@notbonsai671]

👍👍👍

[@stevelacroix2917]

Nigel, I am considering moving my bonsais to my summer home in Montana. You seem to be able to over winter your bonsais rather well, and I was wondering if you can direct me to good sources for keeping bonsai along the border with Montana/Canada? Thanks

[@chinookwind8535]

Hi not Nigel here but I live in Alberta 30 minutes from Montana I have an insulated garage and keep my trees in their pot. I have a thermometer that tells me the temp in my house and I turn on a small heater if it is going to freeze works every year like a charm

[@Sageleafs]

squirrel @ 1:27

[@bonsai_life_style]

[@smithysbonsai1479]
