Looks really good Jay, see you and the tree at the show!
🌟Thank you Nigel!! Exciting and fun day ahead. 🐦💙
Really nice Port...So robust and full...The drywall tape is another great tip...Thanks...
No problem 👍
Have a great show, Jay.
🌟It was a blast! 🐦💙
Nice pot & tree combination. Firing in that chop stick. Cool trunk & form of the tree. A nice show stopper!
🌟Thanks Tom! Fire it in! 🤣😂🐦💙
Was that initial soil some kind of akadama? I heard that cheaper, low quality, bonsai soil will disintegrate and create a muddy substrate. No wonder that mud stayed wet for so long. Good thing you decided to repot. New soil looks much better.
🌟That’s my guess as well.. it kinda looked like darker, maybe old akadama.. 🐦💙
I can say for sure that that soil was very good acadama. It was probably still wet from being watered in.
@@joshchang8241 🌟Thank you Josh! I will save it then. (Just not for my ports!) 👍🐦💙
It's a beauty Jay, and I think you did the right thing getting it out of that soggy soil and into that lovely new pot.
🌟Thanks Tony! Nobody wants a soggy bottom! 🤣😂🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai 🤣🤣
I like the color of that pot. Have fun.
🌟Thanks Alan! We had a blast today! 🐦💙
Good to see you at the show Jay, the tree looked good!
🌟Thanks Xin! I was expecting an after show hangout .. too bad we had to clear out so fast! 🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai next time we should schedule dinner. I think everyone was starving lol
Had a blast watching…love pot and plant combo….enjoy the show and good luck
🌟Thanks Patti! We had a great time today at the show! 🐦💙
Nice to see you and this tree in person today at the show.
Another great quality video, keep up the good work Jay!
🌟Thanks Jason! We’ll get your trees in the next show! 🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai Yes!
Awesome trees Jay, Martin wanted to show me his favourite tree, a little port of yours bc he thought compared to the one I have at home yours look like a little miniature tree. He didn't realize it was in my pot until I told him. Thank you for all the promotions and connections
🌟That is so funny Izabela! Martin has great taste for sure! 🤣😂 My pleasure, loved seeing you guys today! Let me know when the studio is open for business!! 🐦💙
Looking good in that new pot Jay. thanks
🌟Thanks so much Xavier! I really love it! 🐦💙
Awesome tree Jay, nice job ! I was lucky today and got to see it live & up close. It was really nice to finally meet you !
🌟Thanks J! We’ll get together for sure @Tropical Expressions! 🐦💙
That’s a great looking tree and a good selection of potential pots for it. 👍
🌟Thanks Jason! 🐦💙
Great choice Jay. Looking great in its show pot.
🌟Thanks Dave! I love it!! 🐦💙
We're blown away by how big the Bonsai is compared to the pot and soil it's grown in !! Very cool to see this from A to Z Jay.
It's awesome already, going to epic in the future!!
Some nice Laterals on it :)
Well done Jay !!
Cheers J&C 🌱🤜🤛🌱
🌟Thanks J&C! Can’t believe you’re still watching bonsai videos! 🤣😂🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai not really, just the people that make them ;)
Oh and Tomb
Noice! That old soil looked pretty muddy
🌟Thanks Jason! I know he had COVID - so maybe he repotted when he was delirious from fever!?! I’m going to ask him next meeting.
I like the form of this tree...tropical-looking...Goodluck in the show...😍👍👍
🌟Thanks Alex! 🙏
Definitely the best pot for the tree. Very thorough preparation job: good luck for the show! 🤞
🌟Thanks Stefano! I even filmed my soil prep… or so I thought! Forgot to hit record! Ha ha! 🤣😂🐦💙
That's a really nice tree Jay & looks good in the pot you chose. Good luck and enjoy the show. 👍👍
🌟We had a great time today Tony! Thanks! 🐦💙
@@BlueJayBonsai I'll be waiting for the video to be published. 😀😀
Looks great Jay. I really like your choice of the pot. I think it will be very happy in the new substrate. Enjoy the show. Thanks, keep growing
🌟Thank you Matt! We'll see you there next year! 😀
I really like your Porsche La carrier Afra, to quote the closed captioning. 😁
🌟Thank you Dave!! I was trying to find your channel and couldn't.. now I know why - I was missing the ! 🐦💙
Great pot selection Jay. You are right those colors match to perfect not to use it. Also very beautiful tree!
🌟Thanks Bobcat! 🐦💙
Looks Great Jay! Think that new substrat is going to work much better than that akadama type it sat in
🌟I think so too Christopher! Thanks! 🐦💙
Looks great jay😊
🌟Thanks James! 🐦💙
Nice work and it looks good in the new pot! How often would you expect to water it in that new container and substrate?
🌟Indoors, probably about once a week. Next summer outdoors, once a day. 👍
@@BlueJayBonsai Thank you!
Thankfully you got it into good soil, that previous substrate looked a bit like a death sentence for a portulacaria afra. I'm sure it'll grow really well in the new pot! Also, I use the same blue pellets, they've worked really well for me for the last few years, really convenient.
🌟Thanks Edu, glad to know it works for someone else too! 🐦💙
That soil looked like some kind of akadama, I just started to use it on some of my trees and now I will have to keep an eye on them. I don't want the solid to turn into a muddy death sentence. Thanks for sharing Jay.
🌟I got confirmation it was akadama! Works for people with busier lives and different watering schedules than I’m used to!
Great looking tree Jay!
🌟Thanks Raymond! 🐦💙
My ports always drop a bit this time of year.
🌟That makes me feel better! Thanks Michael! 🐦💙
That is a fantastic buy! So, uh... Soggy Bottom Portulacaria make the world go round?
🌟This is a PG channel, so we will just leave the joke as is. 🤣😂🐦😂
@@BlueJayBonsai 😂🤣🥰

Did you have dark brown water come out of the bottom of your pot after applying that fertilizer?
🌟@markwoodard659 I don't remember seeing that. But after I ran out of that jar, I went back to my usual fertilizer - osmocote plus!🐦💙
Beautiful ❤
🌟Thanks Carmen! 🐦💙
What is your bonsai mix Blue Jay?.
My Port is also dropping leaves....soggy bottom?
🌟It was in akadama from the previous owner, which works great for his busy work lifestyle. I used The Bonsai Supply soil from Home Depot. Pumice, lava, turface and pine bark fines when I repotted.
@@BlueJayBonsai same here...thanks.
What is in the soil?
🌟The new soil is pumice, lava, turface and a tiny bit of pine bark fines.
@@BlueJayBonsai Thank you!!!
bonsai yang sangat cantik...
🌟Thank you! 🙏
Please some information on the soil used, thanks
🌟It’s the all purpose bonsai soil from The Bonsai Supply. I order mine via Home Depot. 👍🐦💙
Thanks.
🌟Thank you! 🙏
Jay. Havent seen you. Hope all is well
I’m still on a break until my cancer surgery.. still waiting. Pretty good though. You can check me out in a few videos on Nigel Saunders The Bonsai Zone.
That pot is awesome
The presentation looks pretty righteous from my perspective!
I hope you have a blast showing it off, brother!
🌟Thanks Billy! We had a great time today!. 🐦💙
Elevenses😂
🌟I missed lunch today.. otherwise had a blast! 🤣😂💙🐦
@@BlueJayBonsai I almost called just to see if you’d pick up while you were there🤠
Ive sent you a long comment.why cant i see it anymore??
🌟Hi Ofek. I didn’t see it, and I checked the spam folder - not there either.
@@BlueJayBonsai :(
ok ill write it again in short:
1.portulacaria afra dont like fertilizer right away after reppoting.
2.theres no hail marry cut thing on portulacaria becouse it should always divide really good no matter where u cut but make sure u cut only in summertime and spring otherwize it just weakens the plant.
🌟Thanks Oftek. I don’t fertilize after a repot if I work the roots… roots were not touched by me or on the previous slip pot. You are right, Hail Mary was not the right term. Just a little nervous on a new tree that I paid money for. 😃
@@BlueJayBonsaiyou welcome! very cool tree and i hope he will have a good life with u :P
i didnt noticed that u havent trim the roots at all.sorry.
i live in very hot country and you are the opposit so i understand why u were nervous
FOIST
Fast Matt!!
@@TheBonsaiZone ,,, insomnia has its advantages 😵💫
🌟 Nice Foist Matt Brennan! 🥇
Good luck! Love the look of the river rock on it!
🌟Thanks Candice! 🐦💙
