Most people I’ve come across do say that there are a lot of failures or deaths in bonsai, so that misconception does have some truth to it. Until the grower gets the skill of root care, growing medium, water and feeding it’s going to be a bumpy ride. Chanel’s such as yours are a terrific help, keep it up. You’re not pontificating at all.
Thank you! I've killed a lot of trees back when I first started bonsai and I learned a lot through trial and error. It helped me get to where I am today. So keep going!
again, another great episode! a time will come when i can make dad's bonsai my own and still carry "His" legacy with my twist on 'em! thanks so much Dr Milton!
Thanks so much Milton. Your video is very informative & helpful, you cleared up a few of my misconceptions, “vigorous growth”, “indoor v outdoor” & so on. I am into indoor tropical plants, some I “imitate” art of bonsai, eg money tree, ficus to name a few. 🙏🙏🙏🐝
I think you have a very underrated channel here. You are a good mix of Peter Chan and Ryan Niel and I’m here for it. Keep up the hard, good work. You are a treasure!
I think it is interesting with Bonsai as an art, and finding shapes, you seem to finding shapes in your own mind. Therefore you are shaping your mind. When I am working with any form of horticulture, and in particular Bonsai's I am often thinking of subtle event's of the day, because I become so relaxed when doing Bonsai's...suddenly, and what seem out of nowhere I'll get some sought of rational thought about some writing, or some other situation I"m working with. Bonsai is a wonderful tonic for residual thinking.
Both methods are used successfully. You ask a very good question a lot of people are interested in. Actually a complex subject. I will do a video to explain the big difference. Please stay tuned! A short answer is both ways can work well. You can spend an afternoon to wire a tree or spend 15 minutes clipping each time for several times to let the branches grow to where you want them to be to look just as good. The latter is more likely to have a more natural look close up.
Hi! I'm planning on making a few "cannons double" azalea bonsais this upcoming spring to start learning. If you ever get to a point where you're happy with how a plant looks, are you able to maintain it by pruning consistently, or do you still want to allow it to send off shooters to keep growing? Thank you, very informative video!
Researchers at UC Davis, they recommended a mixture one one part perlite to one part of vermiculite. The idea is to have a lot of air as well as a lot of water. My success rate for elm and for trident maples is close to 80%. Don't forget to put them in the shade to start with, and also use rooting hormone. Good luck with your experimentation!
If you have several days of alternating the trees between sunshine and cloudy days, then there should not be an issue. On the other hand, if you take a ficus that is kept indoor for a long time into the sun, it will get burned badly. So…it depends!
Lmao there’s not a dollar store bone in this dude’s body. He’s been on the board of directors of the national bonsai foundation and learned from masters. Outside of bonsai, the number of companies he’s grown himself or incubated is nuts. Dude is a golden monster not an imitator by any means. Nothing but love for Peter Chan but you’re woefully mistaken
Really good advice. Years ago I thought there are special types of trees that kinda stay small. I'm not very good at bonsai but I have a few trees. The most dear trees are those I grew from seed. I always like them more than store bought trees.
Your videos has triggered my interest in bonsai and trees. I have already took some cuttings to root them. And I will get some seedlings from the forest. Thank you 😊
Appreciate your demystifying several myths and misconceptions regarding this living art form - Bonsai. Many (many) years ago it interested me. Then I had a number of friends who enjoyed Bonsai, and helped me appreciate the art and general methods of tending to them. Your videos help me to better myself, and our trees. Thank you.
Some of what you've said near the end, reminds me of what Nigel Saunders does. Also, Bonsai Empire recently posted a show in Denmark. They had some fabulous creations!
i use grow lights to keep my tropicals indoors over the cold snowy winters here in the north east Us. keep my cold hardy species outdoors all winter tho. thanks milton! always great info. learning the hard to create styles lately. cascade weeping and bunjin/literati are not as easy as informal upright
I just want to thank you for all of the amazing work you have done in popularizing bonsai. I often just watch or listen to your videos to relax; to smile and to experience some escape from the hectic world around me. Thank you!
You inspired me to start a Bonsai journey for myself. I’m growing an avocado tree from my grandparents backyard and it already holds insane sentimental value for me. Hopefully it’ll be a beautiful Bonsai one day. Thank you Bonsai Heirloom, you are amazing. God Bless.
Thank you for your great information! I am fairly new to your channel as well as growing Bonsai’s, and have found your video’s extremely helpful. I really appreciate the way you deliver your level of mastery to those like me who are just learning. 🙏🏼
Thank you for your wonderful advice. I can tell from your superior trees that you know what you are talking about. Although I have been working with and enjoying bonsai for over 40 years, I listened to every word you spoke. I found myself smiling and nodding my head in agreement with every point. Well done!
I just started getting into gardening last year, and really became interested in Bonsai. I started some lemon trees and some pear trees from seed back in march and i am loving how they're coming along!
Thank you so much for your teaching on Bonsai. I have a little Bonsai that I bought at Home Depot. There was no information on how to care for them. Thank you again.

Milton, I enjoy this relaxed presentation style about Bonsai.
Thx for the encouragement
Milton
Excellent, you are correct, my friends can not understand why my plants grow so well,not that hard, very relaxing, keep it going.
Yes, bonsai is a wonderful and relaxing hobby. Thanks for watching!

As a beginner I found this very valuable. Thank you so much!!
I found my elm volunteer in my tomato pot last year, and it is such a joy to have now.
Great!
again, another great episode!
a time will come when i can make dad's bonsai my own and still carry "His" legacy with my twist on 'em! thanks so much Dr Milton!
Yes!!!!!!!
I like especially your open minded explanation of the last one!
Thank you!
Brilliant advice. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!

You are one of the best bonsai advisers 🎉🎉🎉
Wow, thanks! That means a lot!
Outstanding.... Valioso y profundo, a la vez que practico y pragmático. Elocuencia de cabo a rabo.

Yes, definitely! Bonsai helps everyone in a different way. For me, it allows me to relieve my stress and be creative.
Thank you for teaching me these concepts and common sense advise.
My pleasure! Best wishes to you and your bonsai!
Thank you for guiding us out of the misconception!
My pleasure!
Great to destroy some myths in bonsai, thank you.
My pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Good information as always Milton.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support!
awesome video!
You're call has been accomplished. Keep up the good teachings.
Thank you, I will!
Hi Milton love you videos how long have been doing clip and grow method I clip and grow all my trees I believe you get a better tree but takes time

Once you get close to what the bonsai you want it to look, then just prune to avoid it from getting “out of shape”.
@bonsaiheirloom Thanks so much! I'm very excited to start growing bonsai, your videos have been very helpful in learning how to get started.
What mix do you recommend for striking cuttings. Thanks again.
Researchers at UC Davis, they recommended a mixture one one part perlite to one part of vermiculite. The idea is to have a lot of air as well as a lot of water. My success rate for elm and for trident maples is close to 80%.
Don't forget to put them in the shade to start with, and also use rooting hormone. Good luck with your experimentation!
You have a beautiful property!
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say!
Doesn't it stress the tree by bringing it indoors and out?
I think it depends on how long you keep it inside for . They need quality air circulation and sunlight . No artificial air or light is recommended hey
If you have several days of alternating the trees between sunshine and cloudy days, then there should not be an issue. On the other hand, if you take a ficus that is kept indoor for a long time into the sun, it will get burned badly. So…it depends!
Dollar store Peter Chan
Lmao there’s not a dollar store bone in this dude’s body. He’s been on the board of directors of the national bonsai foundation and learned from masters. Outside of bonsai, the number of companies he’s grown himself or incubated is nuts. Dude is a golden monster not an imitator by any means.
Nothing but love for Peter Chan but you’re woefully mistaken
Why is there always someone who wants to measure one pers9n next to another. What's the purpose. What benifit is there.
Excellent video .... Thanks for opening my eyes to Bonsai
👍👌🙂
You are a fantastic teacher.
Really good advice. Years ago I thought there are special types of trees that kinda stay small. I'm not very good at bonsai but I have a few trees. The most dear trees are those I grew from seed. I always like them more than store bought trees.
Yes! I imagine that those trees are also more meaningful to you because you grew them from a seed and shaped them as they grew.
Your videos has triggered my interest in bonsai and trees. I have already took some cuttings to root them. And I will get some seedlings from the forest. Thank you 😊
Have fun!
❤Greetings from Indonesia 🙏
Hello!
You've really got my mind going now.... a hanging tree out in the wild west! I love your vision!
Thank you! Have fun with your bonsai!
getting ready to start my first boxwood. thanks for the great content!
You can do it!

Thank you, Jeff! Your kind words mean a lot! Have fun on your bonsai journey!
Truly enjoy your common sense approach to bonsai. People tend to overthink and overcomplicate a lot in life.......
Thanks for the support!
I loved the video. Reminded me of Peter Chan. Love you guys
thanks for keeping it simple
Always! Thank you for watching!

Thanks for sharing your strategy! We don't have freezing winters here in California, so hopefully your tips help others in the same situation.
great video thanks , the idea of rotating a few bonsai indoors to outside is great
Or a huge carpark with one solitary tree next to it, how much more American can one get :)
I just want to thank you for all of the amazing work you have done in popularizing bonsai. I often just watch or listen to your videos to relax; to smile and to experience some escape from the hectic world around me. Thank you!

Bonjour Monsieur Chang,
J'aime beaucoup votre philosophie et votre chaine YT! Un grand merci à vous pour le partage de votre expérience!
You forgot the most egregious misconception that "BONSAI IS TREE TORTURE". Which is the most idiotic of them all.
