Hello Chris, thanks so much!!! I hope to see you at the London show in June. Tomorrow we have our KW club open house, it should be fun, I've been prepping trees tonight! Thanks again for the wonderful gift!!
Beer waiting for this one to come out for some work on and definitely worth the wait. Outstanding work nigel. How great to have so many roots to be able to pick and choose. Defo my favourite tree of yours.😊
What a cool piece! Giving off some Indiana Jones vibes and you can even turn the long roots into a proper rope 😂 Ficus air roots are so much fun and we love ficus trees for this exact reason.
I've been waiting for a video about the temple and it was worth it... Great work cleaning and selecting the roots, and branches.. this is an amazing body of work and I agree with Julian, this is my favorite....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I’ve been waiting for this update. The aerial root growth over the winter was amazing. Great root selections. Please update us when the tiny leaves start growing in.
Those aerial roots were amazing for Winter growth. Very cool, very Indian Jones...It even looks great defoliated...Also great background music...Thanks
Wow, this is such an exciting planting! I am still a little worried about the ficus roots pulling the temple apart, but I guess that is part of the natural progression of the full scale inspiration as well. This will be a great series to follow "in to the far future ".
This has come so far Nigel! Amazing! I wish I could be as active on here still but life has other plans right now with the new baby. Still catching tidbits though happy to see your progress never stops, glad you are well sir! It’s been an overly wet spring here but everything is thriving and I’m still bringing more in even though space ran out years ago! 🤪 Be well friend. ❤
Oh my..... Amazing🤩 I bet this project will get you a few new subscribers. It is such a dreamy, vertical landscape. Your choice to use cement, instead of 3d prints, makes it so pure in a sense.
OK Nigel it's all your fault. I was so intrigued by your video today that I started a research on these temples. It actually made me hungry. So I took a little trip to our favorite restaurant Kings Asian and its good as always. Your temple looks pretty awesome
Totally awesome, it really gets you the right vibe from south-east Asia. Can see the potential difficulties, as you pointed out, about the growth of the roots and get too thick.. Guess you have to prune them heavily now and then and replace older roots with newer ?
It's such a cool planting. Looks soo good already. I'm looking forward to what's to come for your Ta Prohm Temple! By the way, I wondered if a candle (proabably better an electric one, so it doesn't get hot) would look interesting if it was placed inside the temple to create some more atmosphere. I'd place it not right in the middle but slightly towards a doorway, so it's a bit hidden and you're only able to see the light it emits. Of course, this would only work when it's a bit darker, but I think it might look cool.
Ficus Natalensis it the tree in question here. I’m from South Africa!! Love the vids Nigel!! Would love to come and visit and vise versa for you. The Natalensis is an amazing fig that is superrrrr in all the ways. But if you say there are figs then its possibly a Burt Davyi!!
Omg, looking at the actual photos of the temple - I have a suspition the trees back there did not make THEIR research about the scale xD I didn't imagine they are THIS big xD
Those roots in front of the entrance are pretty wild. And, as you said earlier in the video, you should be aware of the thickness in the future. Could you still move them to the left? So theý'll have more space and the entrance will be accentuated with the 'curtains'? Or is that something that could be left for repotting? I love your stuff btw. First comment ever, but I'm a viewer for 6 years.
Hi nigel.temple coming along well. Question. When defoliating if there is a partiality formed, kinda still rolled up, leaf at the end of a branch do you remove or keep them?
Hello Nigel, my old friend! How’s bonsai? I read your comment on another video about the tree loss, so sad to hear! My channel name used to be Scottish Bonsai, it may sound familiar? I lost a lot about 7 years ago or so and it’s taken until now to restart. Now I have a new home and a massive new garden in full sun all afternoon, but I’m back! I remember when you started the channel and when you actually created this bonsai! How are your Scots pine and larch forest? Did they make it? I lost mine and a couple of junipers and tridents! 65 years old! Scottish weather, but it’s all changing here, nothing like it’s been before! I have had a hornbeam and Scots pine in training pots since the start of your channel, they are some size now, thick way! Scots needs a good styling and I’m thinking of chopping right down, I see a nice tree low down now! Anyway, I will be watching again now that I’m back! Try to get some views back up!
Do you use only grow light to grow it or do you keep it under sun? And which fertilizer you use and how often do you use them? What are the watering frequency?
Fertilizer is 50:50:50, tiny pinch with every watering, during summer watering depends on how fast soil dries out. It can be from 2 to 4-5 times a day with small pots i believe.
: Ficus roots grow thick and strong.... What I fear in a temple structure, is that if any one of the roots crawl into the structure, and grows within, the temple might crumble then....😅 It'll look beautiful in a way but the structure wont be like you wanted it to be.
Hey Nigel! Thanks for some great lessons and for being so generous to the community!
50$ and no reply le me fix that 😂
Hello Chris, thanks so much!!! I hope to see you at the London show in June. Tomorrow we have our KW club open house, it should be fun, I've been prepping trees tonight!
Thanks again for the wonderful gift!!
This temple is a true masterpiece!
Woooaaah, what an absolutely amazing monster!!!
It's looking great so far, nigel😊
Un trabajo genial. Transplantarlo va a ser una tarea titánica.
Salud, Nigel.
🙇♂️
Masterpiece. Thanks, keep growing
My cup of tea to watch the Master at work on this one cool TPT. Excellent!
This project turned out better than I could even imagine
Ooo been waiting for this one!
Great finish to this cool looking temple planting!

Absolutely wonderful creation. I was surprised that you didn't prune more of the roots. 🤣
Excellent work Nigel! It's looking really stunning.
That temple is absolutely amazing! Well worth the effort and it isn't even very old yet! Awesome Nigel!
Much anticipated pruning! What an incredible specimen.
I’ve been waiting for this update. The aerial root growth over the winter was amazing. Great root selections. Please update us when the tiny leaves start growing in.
We haven't seen this thing since you first put it together. It's looking great. Excellent effort.
Another inspiring bonsai development - loving this one a lot :)
This is looking great Nigel!
Those aerial roots were amazing for Winter growth. Very cool, very Indian Jones...It even looks great defoliated...Also great background music...Thanks
Been waiting for this one! Those roots!

This must be your pride and Joy.

Great project!
❤could tail u love this one (lite on the pruning😅)
Fabulous!
Amazing Nigel😍👏👏👏🌳
So good to see some details of the temple emerging through the overgrowth and you can repurpose the roots as hairbands ! Win Win🍍 🙏✝️
haii,,, may be you are the only man that making bonsai without wiring.. i love it
❤😊 Wow. What a large tree.
OK Nigel it's all your fault. I was so intrigued by your video today that I started a research on these temples. It actually made me hungry. So I took a little trip to our favorite restaurant Kings Asian and its good as always. Your temple looks pretty awesome
Simply fantastic ! Nigel is a genius of bonsai !!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Great!!!
Nice Nigel.
Looks awesome Nigel, really nice work !

Looks awesome Nigel!
the planting looks great! I'm not fond of the branch that cuts across near the top. just my opinion. thanks for the video
I liked that root that went across the eyes.
This is looking great. My fear while you were building the temple was that it might be very heavy and need a huge pot but it’s clearly manageable. 👍
Outstanding Nigel
Amazing work ❤
Nice ❤
Wow
It's such a cool planting. Looks soo good already. I'm looking forward to what's to come for your Ta Prohm Temple!

Yes, it's covered in figs and leafing out now!! An awesome species for bonsai! Maybe some day I'll get to South Africa!!
Thanks!

Nigel what kind of grow light are you using on these trees to get such good root growth like that?? 😲
Hi nigel.temple coming along well. Question. When defoliating if there is a partiality formed, kinda still rolled up, leaf at the end of a branch do you remove or keep them?
Why i get Indonesia or Cambodia vibes when I look at this bonsai?

It'll look beautiful in a way but the structure wont be like you wanted it to be.
It will be interesting to see what happens!!
how do you take care of the plant which fertilizer you use can you please elaborate on the topic of caring about ficus?
Nigel uses 50:50:50 fertilizer, a tiny pinch in every watering.
@@Thimbrethil how often do you water it and do you keep it under the grow light only?
@@Thimbrethil and i couldnt find anything about npk 50 50 50 on the internet
your ficus grows so fast my ginseng ficus dsn't grow at all
Foist
That plant dungeon at the beginning was bleak
