It is always a great time to be with the master of bonsai through the year. Take care Nigel and Merry Christmas and relax with a nice hot cup of tea tonight.
9:32 No, thank YOU, Nigel! Another year of sharing your wonderful videos with us. I hope you know how many people you help and inspire; you allow us to get to know you through the vlogs; you are calm, warm hearted and kind and you feel like a long distance friend whenever I watch and relax with your videos. So, yeah, the Thanks are heart felt 🤗 Hope you've had an awesome Christmas and wishing you, Laura and family a happy New Year! x
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays Nigel and all fans and viewers. And may you all have a happy, productive and healthy 2022. May your trees grow strong, your internodes be short and your back buds plentiful 😁 For that broken pot I recommend kintsugi. Mix some gold powder with an epoxy resin (I got both from Amazon) and glue the pieces together. The gold vein repairs make for a strikingly beautiful effect and add a great sense of uniqueness and wabi sabi turning the obvious flaw into a beautiful feature.
Merry Christmas Nigel from my family to Yours! Thank you for a fantastic year of teaching, creating and exploring. Your energy and enthusiasm has been the highlight of my days. So much appreciation for the time you've taken to share your wealth of knowledge! Very best for 2022!!
What a delightful video! Enjoyed going along with you on this one. That display of the planets is such a unique idea! Wish we had more of that down herre in Florida.
Ficus deltoidea/ mistletoe fig is one of my favorites! There are dozens of varieties and that is a nice one. I love the little figs, undulate leaves, and they grow well indoors! 😍
Merry Christmas Nigel, And BIG THX for a wonderfull 2021 sow far. I love it. Year in.....year out. I get realxed in 2 min. with every episode haha. Thank you!
Merry Christmas and a happy newyear Nigel and family/everyone . And ofcourse thank you for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm. Always uplifting and inspirational!! ❤️
What a lovely way to spend Christmas night! (OK, so it is a week later, but still!) Season's Greetings, and here's to a wonderful 2022. Thank you, Nigel!
Awesome job Nigel ! THAT marble pot is awesome n live it cant wait to see to see what you end up putting into it. I have the same watering can its so useful
Great gifts Nigel. Too bad for that broken pot. Maybe you can do a Kintsugi repair on it. I also got one of those Haws mini watering cans. It's awesome.
Great video! Would love to see a video about tool care sharpening etc :) also does it do any difference to use a humidifier for indoor tropical trees? Thank you 🙏🏻
I also got one of those watering cans from the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley here in England, as you say its a great waterer. Best of luck to one and all in 2022.
Happy Christmas Nigel and thank you so much for all your videos and sharing your knowledge with us all you have been a great inspiration to me and I guess many others. See you in the new year ...my friend ..
Merry belated Christmas Nigel Saunders hope Saint Nick got you something really good this year, we all knew your one of his top people on his good list.
Hi Nigel Saunders, congrats for you channel, it's gratifying to see someone doing bonsai without wire! ;) One suggestion for your broken pot: try Kintsugi, I think you would love to dive on that. happy 2022
You got tons of goodies too! I can't wait till the day I'll be able to get down there to an actual Bonsai store, maybe meet a few Bonsai loving humans! 😊
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year Nigel u were my inspiration to get into bonsai and now I am addicted to it... started with 1 tree 3 years ago and now I am having more than 70 trees...
Nigel, add some gold coloured mica dust to the epoxy and let it ooze out of the seams. Simulates 'kintsugi', the Japanese method of repair using gold. It looks good when done. I've done this on 2 pots that were storm damaged. Its better than just throwing them away.
You probably know about the concept of wabi sabi. That's what I thought of when I saw your broken pot. You could fix it with contrasting colored glue so you can see the beauty in imperfection.
Kintsugi is an ancient Japanese technique that was invented around the fifteenth century to repair broken pottery using urushi (Japanese lacquer) dusted with powdered gold, silver, platinum, or other precious metals. Beautiful seams of gold replace the cracks in ceramic ware. Maybe a good idea for the broken pot. think it works with epoxy aswell
Olá! Boa noite! Nigel. Um feliz Natal e um próspero ano Novo. Pra você e sua família. Muita saúde e paz e felicidades.Que Deus te abençõe sempre. Cada vez mais muito sucesso!
For a while I’ve done professional packaging for fragile items shipped worldwide and I could immediately tell that the smashed pot was very poorly packaged and It is no surprise it showed up disassembled. Sender should have known better. When glued back together it will make for an interesting story pot. 🤞 hopefully pieces are big enough.
Hi Nigel! My father-in-law is a huge fan of yours! He is from the US. His wife is here in Toronto and wants to surprise him with a video call from you 😄 . He loves Bonsai! I even love them myself! So I'm reaching out to see if you're open to a short meeting tomorrow or Monday as my mother-in-law would be leaving to head back to the US on New Year's Day. Please let me know your thoughts. We will appreciate it so much!
Nice presents and updates Nigel! I hope you held the mistletoe ficus over your head when Laura was nearby. 💋 Lol! 🤣
Happy to be a part of the zoners Nigel
Very nice to see, Nigel. The fact that you are going to epoxy the pot back together is respectful of you and in turn highly respectable. Good man.
It is always a great time to be with the master of bonsai through the year. Take care Nigel and Merry Christmas and relax with a nice hot cup of tea tonight.
Merry Christmas Nigel, and congratulations on your trees being the featured trees for the month of May!
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Nigel!

God Bless on your adventure to put the pot back together, I've got a special spot in my heart for these tasks.
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays Nigel and all fans and viewers. And may you all have a happy, productive and healthy 2022. May your trees grow strong, your internodes be short and your back buds plentiful 😁

How do you plan to drill the drainage holes? A bit of putty for a water dam and slow drilling? Interested to see how it goes!
Sounds good!
Merry Christmas, Nigel and everyone :)
Hi Nigel Saunders, congrats for you channel, it's gratifying to see someone doing bonsai without wire! ;)
One suggestion for your broken pot: try Kintsugi, I think you would love to dive on that.
happy 2022
The marble pot looks amazing! Jay already showed a couple of the photos in the calendar on his channel 😄
You got tons of goodies too! I can't wait till the day I'll be able to get down there to an actual Bonsai store, maybe meet a few Bonsai loving humans! 😊
Merry Christmas, Nigel. Thank you for all the work you put into making these videos, I am enjoying every single of them.
Great calendar
Merry Christmas and a Happy New year Nigel u were my inspiration to get into bonsai and now I am addicted to it... started with 1 tree 3 years ago and now I am having more than 70 trees...
Merry Christmas to you and your family Nigel! I'm buying my first set of bonsai tools with my Christmas money this year (and birthday money 😅).
What fun!
Not the "solar system" I was expecting. Lol
Nigel, add some gold coloured mica dust to the epoxy and let it ooze out of the seams. Simulates 'kintsugi', the Japanese method of repair using gold. It looks good when done. I've done this on 2 pots that were storm damaged. Its better than just throwing them away.
Happy holidays Nigel from across the Atlantic 🇮🇪🇨🇦
Merry Christmas Nigel.
Thanks Margaret, Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas.
You can try kintsugi its a japanese art of reparing broken pots with gold is awesome

Try Kintsugi on that broken pot. Might work with gold color epoxy.
You could say the pot is... marbleous. I'm sorry.
Lol!
Happy holidays Nigel, thank you for all the wonderful videos! Proud to be a member of the bonsai zone!
I'like... 🙏
