      +Chris Drury I have 2 Chinese elms, and both are VERY young, ( about 5 inches tall) Very thin, and Since its winter here, they are inside and they DONT like it. Slowly losing leaves a few at a time. Being so young, they are very thin and spindly. I hope I can keep them alive till spring, and probably wont do any repotting or pruning at all. Seems like every time I root prune, they die, even if its a very small amount. Right now, I'm just trying to keep them alive. I have 2 Chinese elms, 1 Shimpaku, 5 small junipers, a trident maple, and a sugar maple. All very small, and non are up to a repotting. I've gone through several versions of soil trying to get root growth like his shown, but little success. His elm is not a very young tree with that trunk size. Great advice, but you need a very well developed root base and developmental growth before trying to style I think. Good luck on yours...I'm just hoping to keep mine alive.

    • @amightyatom
      @amightyatom Před 7 lety +1

      Blaydrnnnr Chinese elm are frost hardy down to about -6 if not too wet in my experience. I have several and had down to -7 this winter. Much harder to keep indoors and growth/root growth will never be as strong. If indoors they should be cooler over winter. Why are you re-potting? should only be when root bound and ideally done when buds are swelling in spring. Some keep their leaves and others drop in winter but if it keeps them it will throw old ones off when new growth comes through. Could you be over watering after root pruning? soil should be allowed to dry out a bit before next watering as tiny new roots can easily rot with too much water. Keep away from radiator heat and direct window heat. Indoors much harder ;-). Good luck

    You don't need to be an artist in Bonsai. Bonsai is basically.. imperfection= perfection. Perfection= Boring.
    Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. so the styling you see at some it's beauty for them, to them but not for all, to all.

    Hi I’m very new to bonsai so forgive me if I have no idea what I’m going on about. I received first Fukien Tea bonsai, it’s looking relatively healthy with little new growth but it seems loose in its pot, after watching your video I really want to prune and style it and then repot it but I’m unsure if it’s the right time of year and whether if I start pruning branches it’s. healthy for the tree right now. Any advice would be much appreciated.Thankyou

  • @Malumbrus
    @Malumbrus Před 7 lety +6

    I am growing a bonsai from a seed. Currently it is about 1 1/2" to 2" tall. I'm not sure what to do with it at this point, do I do any trimming?

    • @Eastwill
      @Eastwill Před 7 lety +3

      In the little knowledge I have on this, if I were you, I would let the tree just grow naturally so it can get its trunk thicker and roots established before you do any trimming, after all its only 2 inches tall. but if your looking to do any styling to the trunk and tree, you should let it grow out, but not too much for the trunk gets too hard.
      But i don't know your situation at all, so take what i said with a grain of salt please.

    • @christiansanchez1486
      @christiansanchez1486 Před 6 lety +1

      Phteven give it about half a year depending on the tree species but once it gets to a nice thickness give the trunk some movement by wireing it and let it sit for 2-3 months check the wire daily to make sure the tree isn't growing over the wire so you don't get those ugly wire scars

    I have a question XD
    I have an elm, but every new shoot which is having leaves, will die off in the end.. Why is this happening? Because my tree is turning bald this way.. I used to cut it back where the life starts again, but now some professionals told me to just let it grow, but when the leaves are mature, then they start to die off, and so is the shoot/ twig.. It's sad.. :(
