Thanks for sharing your wonderful informative clipping on pruning, I have few under training! Curious to know how long it takes to grow the trunk like yours? Please let me know how old is your tree?
Hi, I've had this tree for about 5 years now and the trunk has grown some but not much, but I am also growing in a small pot and keeping it pruned back which slows growth down.
Hi, lovely job pruning that tree. I’m a newbie and I have the same tree but mine is very young , the trunk and stems are much smaller than yours . Is it safe to prune it ? It looks like it needs some maintenance, my was extending on both sides like yours and the leaves are clumping everywhere. I want to be able to see more or the bark. Thanks I really enjoyed your vid.
Thank you Jingle Robin, if your tree is healthy you should be fine with some pruning. This would encourage new growth and actually increase the health of your tree. Have fun, these are interesting trees to grow.
Looks good mate. Fukien tree is a mystery to me. Sold by the thosends in garden centers in my country. But I havent seen one growing them successfully. Can you tell me a little bit about your growing conditions for each season?
I hear these are hard to keep happy and alive, is that true? They are my favourite bonsais , all I have had are ficus bonsais and I really wanna try my hand at one. Any tips or information? Love the channel subbed!
Thanks Matt, the last 2 wi nters I've kept mine under lights and from spring to September outside in a bright spot but out of direct sunlight. Bonsai soil is best and kept moist, in the winter mist the tree 1 to 2 times a day. I water mine every one to two days in winter and I water it everyday in summer ( unless it rains ). All year round adding a little fertilizer with the watering is good for it also ( two - three times a week ) just all purpose and mix a couple pinches worth in a small watering can, mixing in water. So far I have found this tree does great under these conditions. I hope this helps you out.
@@BonsaiJCan thanks so much, glad your video popped up under recommended while watching the one and only Nigel Saunders. I think I'm gonna go get one at a nursery today. Subbed ! Keep the videos flowing and best of luck and much success to you for 2019
Thanks again Matt, I also wish you the best for 2019. Let me know in some time how your new fukien Tea is doing. Nigel definatly has great advise , he has videos on bonsai soil and watering / fertilizing. Talk to you soon!
It could be a few things, but make sure it is in well draining soil ( bonsai soil) and in indirect sunlight and keep soil damp. If you try and work with these 3 elements hopefully it will get better. Cheers
@@BonsaiJCan ... I had it in direct sunlight for a couple of days. I have read that they like the sunlight but prefer a shaded place. It was doing very well when I would just put it by a window. The leaves are still intact and none of them have fallen off so I think the tree is okay. Might have just scorched the leaves a bit I think it will be fine
Hopefully it will be fine, maybe like you said, just going through some shock right now after repot. Keeping it in a shady but bright area is always good after a repot till you start to see some new growth .
bonsai J awesome! Do you have any videos on that? I just got a Fukien from Lowe’s and I’m waiting until tomorrow to prune it because I need to get it potted in bonsai soil, but there’s a lot of pruning to be done and I was wondering how I would successfully propagate another bonsai from my cuttings?
I found I could only start cuttings with old wood on them, and not newer shoots. So parts of older branching rooted much better. Only about 1" -2 " long with some leaf on them. I hope this helps.
Looks good!
Thank you Nigel
Beautiful tree and arrangement!
Thank you, its recovering well and starting some new growth again. It will be interesting to see what it will look like in some years.
I just ordered one. It comes tomorrow. I hope it looks as nice as yours.
looks pretty Fukien nice lol
lol...that's a good one! Thanks
haha an oldie, but a goodie ^^
At end it looks really good..Have a great day my friend
Thank you, I'll see what I have to work with the next time it grows out.
I'm new to bonsai & I'm wondering why trim off the large leaves before the runners. I'm trying to learn how to do bonsai.

I just repotted mine...getting some yellowing...darkening of the leaves, but none are falling off. Shock??? Any tips???

@@BonsaiJCan ...I think she is ok...do have new growth...new leaves growing low from the trunk...so I know she is still ok.
Video too long not much tips..talking takes much of the video..helpful but takes much of the time..
Thanks for the advice Mark, I'm also learning.
Have you tried growing any from your cuttings?
Yes actually I have two very small ones growing now from last summer That I'm going to be doing a miniature planting with soon.
