In this short video i will show you, how i made my first concrete bonsai slab / pot. A whole project did take 7 days , but it worth every single minute. Really enjoyed the make of it and i am pretty sure i will create more of them very soon; here is what have used for the whole project:
Cement, Sand, Wooden box, bucket , mixer paddle, cement colour, some rocks, 6mm wire mesh, acrylic paint (3 different colours) , some brushes, a carving machine, spoon, pallet knife and some wire...
Hope you will enjoy it watching as i did enjoyed making it :)

Beautiful artwork, very inspiring! Loved your How to build a Japanese greenhouse video, cant wait to see more of what's to come. Have a good day man :)
Very interesting video. Will try this but on a smaller scale to start with. Thanks for sharing
Definitely worth every minute! What an awesome first video, I am so glad I clicked on and watched your greenhouse build, that's led me down the rabbit hole and into your Wonderland. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for your kind words! ☺ Welcome!
Brilliant first video Attila!! Very nice editing and storytelling! The technique with the dry brush is awesome for getting that rock texture! Will have to try this when I make cement pots!! Looking forward to your future videos!!
Thank you so much! I am having the best teacher 😉
Happy to see you made a channel you have beautiful tree can't wait to see more
Thanks for coming 😄 happy to have u guys 😁
Saw you already a few times in Adam's videos and was wondering if you would start your own channel, I'm so glad you did ! Immediate subscription !
The slab you made is amazing, I'm going to try to make one myself, I love being creative.
Thank you so much! Go for it please ☺
So informative and creative. Thank you for sharing. I love what you do 🇦🇺
Thanks a lot 😁

I was hoping you'd start uploading after I watched you on the notion bonsai channel 👌
Hope you enjoyed it! Means a lot, honestly 😊
Beautiful pot! ❤
Thank
you so much!
I didn't know where you were going with it but the results were incredible. That looks incredibly expensive. The way you laid the moss was also ingenious. I would be so happy if i could successfully copycat your beautiful design
Hope that i gave you enough information to try to make it yourself :) It was fun to making it :) All the best for yours :)
@@FangornBonsai i ended up showing the wife the video and we will attempt it together. She is the artist, so a lot of it is on her plate, lol and yes i think you made the process very clear. Thank you. Best wishes.
@@EL-em3mn That is super cool :) I would like to see the end result 🤩
Absolutely awesome Atilla
Mate I’ve been watching you on notion bonsai. Mate you are like a kindred spirit to me. Total respect for your creative ability mate.
I, like you like to make unusual but super cool pots although I’m probably a bit crazier than most 😂😂
I really hope we can become good friends over your TH-cam journey brother 👊
I can’t wait to see what you create next. I’ve just subscribed and I’m going to share on my community now and great the word out on your channel. I hope that is okay?
You may get some more subs views etc.
great video Atilla respect mate 👊
It is an honer bud. You are amazing. Do not think that i deserve this 😁 Thank you so much for your comment, means a lot to me. Keep grow and learn together my friend 😉
you are right Andy, this is pretty awesome. Sub and liking now.

Thank you so much dear Simone 😊
Beautiful work!
Thank you very much! Means a lot 😊
It's an amazing pot! 👏 🤩
Tried my best 😁
Superbe, j'ai un projet similaire pour l'année prochaine, votre technique m'aide beaucoup, superbe réalisation. Bravo le pot est vraiment beau.
Very good. I’ve made a few pots , not as artistic, thanks for showing your method and idea.
I just started my channel. Great video. Thanks and cheers from Ojai California
Thanks a lot Jason.
The sand/rock texture on the slab turned out amazing! Been looking for this kind of technique for a while to make realistic rock textures. Now I know how. Do you think a rocky shaped pot could be made by adding concrete to a deeper sand box?
Sure, why not ;) Try it out and let me know ;)
Looks great mate
Beautiful job 👏👏👏
Thanks a lot!
Kerja bagus kawan.
Mari bersama hijaukan bumi 🎉
Lets do that 😊
Exceptional work.
I’ve been interested in cement/concrete art for years. My only concern is using this material in horticultural practice because of the alkaline nature. I have used cement pots that I have soaked in water for months and it seems like the low ph remains for months despite soaking in water. My tap water is already alkaline due to additives(chloramines) I know microbes will produce acid in the long term but plant health and ph are pretty important. Any thoughts?
Thank you for a great video!!!
Thanks a lot! My thoughts about using cement pots:
That they can have a slightly alkaline pH, which may affect the soil acidity over time. Some trees prefer slightly acidic soil, so you may need to adjust your soil mixture accordingly. I have also using water seal on my pots, 2-3 layers just in case, so far so good ☺
You said you used cement for the slab and then used concrete for the rest. Did you put any aggregate in the concrete when mixing for the pot , or just sand and concrete? Really liked the project hoping to make my own!
@@chrisgunnerson8042 Sorry for the confusion Chris. I only used cement and water mix, but i am thinking of using hypertufa next time.
Incredible and inspiring! What is your concrete mix and have you experimented with hypertufa? 1/3 portland cement, 1/3 peat moss, 1/3 perlite or vermiculite…. I have so many new ideas now so thank you!!
Thanks Steve! My mix is only cement and water but i will def check out on that hypertufa! Thanks for the tip 😊
I really love it. I spend most of my time with Concrete trying to make it smooth :-) I do have a question… How do you work out for drainage? I didn't see any holes. Also an observation I do the dry brush technique with my fingers.
Hey. I did considered the tree species before building a pot, also as it is slanted the water will just run off . Will use Swamp Cypress trees which they can even stand in water ☺
Boom boom👍🦘🇦🇺
i came here because of @bonsaicrazy mention of your channel. I have only made one stone pot and certainly nothing like this. which is absolutely stunning. I also like your channel name, love LOTR P(^0^)p. You have definitely earned my sub 😎
Thanks a lot 😊 Did take a while to come up with the name, but i think it worth it, as i am a big fan of Tolkien's work 😊
Fantastic piece of art, look forward to your next post. Did you seal the pot to make it weather proof?
Yeah, so sorry, i just missed that part, i did yes i have used water seal on it and a put like 3-4 coats ;) Thanks a lot! Means a lot!
This Bowl looks Great but how Heavy it has become ?
Thanks! Roughly 25Kg
what concrete did you use? Any sand? The mix looks very smooth
Hey Bob. Just cement+water and cement colour 😉
Have you had any issues with the concrete getting too hot for the plants?
Thanks! Not at all ☺
Did you add the sand to the mixture?
Hey bikeman, only cement, water and concrete colour 😉
Don't need any drainage holes?
As the slab is slanted, the excess water will flow off, also we will plant swamp cypress on it which they are water loving trees 😉
Why is it every body plays stupid music its annoying
