I am really looking forward to the progression series of keeping tabs on trees at different stages of their lives. I think I will have a ton to learn from you. Thanks again take care !
Hi Byron! Wow, that means a lot! My goal is to share the joy of bonsai and encourage you all to start doing bonsai as a hobby, so I'm very happy you're starting out your bonsai journey. I'm always here to help, so feel free to comment any questions you have!
Thanks so much for answering my question and giving such a detailed answer. I am going to visit Japan soon, and look forward to visiting the bonsai gardens there. Hopefully I will get to visit your garden one day. Best wishes from England :)
Thanks for your videos. I passed through Washington DC earlier this month traveling with my family, and we made a point to visit the National Bonsai & Penjing Museum because of your recommendation in this video. It was awesome. Thanks again!
Thank you for you video. My question. In United States where would a good place to buy pre bonsai that would have potential but a little further along vs basic garden nursery material.
Hi Milton I have recently taken up bonsai more seriously and I am ever so grateful to come across your channel and the information you so willingly share i have learnt a lot from you already,. What I'm struggling with and cant seem to wrap my head around or find any straight forward answers is when is the correct time of year to repot/slip pot to allow for development , prune heavily , shape and wire deciduous and conifer trees, also when selecting a pot can you have too shallow of a pot for a tree ? i would appreciate any answers I might just be over thinking it all Cheers
Thanks for another great video! I've been doing bonsai for a couple of years now and I've fallen in love with flowering trees so I have gotten myself some nursery azaleas that I am working on. I was wondering if you had any advice for flowering bonsai or azaleas in specific? And what other flowering trees is good for bonsai? I bought a pieris japonica with a nicelooking trunk(even though it's more of a shrub than tree) since I like to experiment, but can it be trained to become a bonsai at all? Finding which trees work and which doesn't is what I find the hardest since there is little info on rarely used trees and shrubs. Thanks again!
I love your videos. I am a new bonsai person. Should I make Japanese maple bonsais from draft maple trees? Or buy draft maples and do air layers? I am over 50. I think not a good idea to do seeding 😢😢😢
Thank you Mr. Chang. I have a blue atlas cedar that’s gaining new buds slowly. The old needles are drying and turning a bit yellow but the new growth is green. Is this common ?
Have just came across your videos. While you were talking about your soil mix can you tell me if this is a basic soil mix for America as I live in the UK.
Hi! Yes, this is a basic soil mix that I use for all my bonsai and it has proven to work well. I use 1 part sandy loam, 1 part peat moss, and 1 part perlite. You may have to adjust the mix based on your region's climate or for the plan you're working on. For example, For moisture loving trees, like Maple will do best with 1 part peat moss, 1 part peat moss, 1 part perlite, and 1/2 part vermiculite.
