2-Year Transformation of a Tigerbark Ficus Bonsai

- čas přidán 19. 08. 2024
- This is one of the trees I have worked on the longest in my relatively short time as a Bonsai practitioner. This video will show you the development the tree has made since early 2020.
It has made nice progress and though it is still not a mature Bonsai tree the primary branch structure has been set nicely. The next step will be to let the tree grow and thicken.
This tree cost 15 € when I got it. After what I have seen at Bonsai nurseries in Germany I am guessing it would sell for about 80-100 € now. (Just a thought)
If you have any thoughts leave them in the comments. I hope you enjoy the video :)
Make sure to follow me on my other social media accounts.
I am happy about everyone who gets in touch with me over this most beautiful art form :)

This material has a lot of potential...great styling....👍👍👍
Thank you Alex! I think it’s cool that this was just a regular Bonsai from a hardware store and is now on its way to something real. Let’s see how far I can take it :)
@@Bonsaifly It's now in good hands...🙂👍👍
Thank you :)
Good job👍👍👌🙏
Thank you :)
New here, but seriously loving the content so far!
Thank you my man! I have a couple of videos coming soon. Right now I am just trying to take my time to produce a higher quality of video - anyway new good stuff coming 🔜
Nice! Can't wait 👍
Oh wow…so much better. Went from “mallsai” to something with real character. Well done man.
Thanks dude :) it still needs a lot of thickening up imo (most of my trees do actually). I have been drawing a lot of inspiration for this Ficus Bonsai from Bonsai artist Nacho Marin. I think his Ficus Bonsais are among the best in the world. It’s also cool to see how a 15€ (more or less 15$) tree can develop over 2 years
Nice
Thanks :)
Nice development!
Thank you 🙏🏼
Very nice video and super good work and wiring! I came to watch this from your reddit post. You got a new subscriber :)
Thank you :) I am glad to have you 🔝
Good job 👍🤝
Thank you friend :)
😍👍👍😍
So happy that you always provide such a great video on your work! Well done! Lieben Gruß
Thank you :) liebe Grüße 🙏🏼
Got to learn alot of things from your channel! Hope to learn more😄 as I just started learning about bonsai
Can you please tell me why did you washed the soil and if i cut a branch will i get two new branches from the buds like a y shape?
Glad to have you :)
I got all the black soil out by washing - free draining (non-organic) soil is better for root development.
Generally you will get back bidding after cutting - if there are dormant buds :)
@@Bonsaifly thankyou for replying 😁
Btw I heard that if bonsai is in growing/developing phase like, if you want to grow a thicker trunk or branch and need lots of foliage, you should grow in garden soil as that will give thicker tap root and upper part of the tree kinda mimic the root system and when development phase is complete and you need thinner tertiary or secondary branches then you should use inorganic soil as it will develop finer root system and finer branches
Idk how much its true as I just started out😅
@@maazansari6143 i would go for free draining soil from the start. It will develop finer roots, which then will feed the tree better
@@Bonsaifly oo right!
Nice job David! You put a lot of work in this tree and the video as well. The tree should get a nice full canopy this summer.
Did you also change something about the lighting?
Thanks Stefan! This tree is one that I am particularly proud of. Not because it is very spectacular yet but because I can strongly see my own doing on it. I have already removed the wire since the last point of filming because it bites in very quickly on tropicals. I think it might not get another styling/repotting for at least 2 years (other than basic shaping). I am going to focus on thickening it now.
I have not :) I just played around with color grading a bit. Some of my old videos were a bit "grey" so I am going to experiment a bit from now on to get the perfect lighting :)
Why not use the bottom branch as apex and cut the top and make a much better tree. Ugly to begin with, but great beginning for taper. I do like your branch placement and may have used this as inspiration on my own tree 😁
Not making that cut, I don’t think it would improve the tree. However it does need to thicken, which is what I am working on right now :) glad it inspired you some!
Cette video est tres interessante.
Vous pratiquez des defoliations en decembre et janvier ! Vous vivez dans l'hemisphere sud ?
This video is very interesting.
You practice defoliations in December and January! Do you live in the southern hemisphere?
Best regards from France
Hello Alain!
Although I understand french good enough to have understood your message in the original language, I cannot write back in french language so bear with me in english :)
I do not live in Southern Hemisphere. Actually, I live in western Germany, close to the Dutch border. I have learned how to keep tropical Bonsai trees in a temperate climate. I have put out a video called „how to keep bonsai indoors successfully“, where I explain my method.
This tree just happened to grow really well in December 2020/January 2021, so I took the opportunity to create ramification :)
@@Bonsaifly : Your indoor growing technique explains your success. For my part, living in the south of France, I practice defoliations in June-July.
Thank you for your reply
@@alainbay3324 yes, that’s when I would do defoliation on non-tropical trees too :)
Why are you constantly defoliating a tree that’s still in development? All you’re doing is slowing the growth waaay down
I wanted to get some branch structure because there was little. Now that there are enough branches I am going to let the tree grow freely :)
@@Bonsaifly ficus branch profusely on their own, which you will see for yourself now that you’ve decided to let it grow freely. Your constant defoliation only served to slow its initial growth significantly.
@@mirandusings you might be right. The truth is I am still learning about a lot of things in Bonsai as I go. Haven’t been doing it all that long after all 🤞🏻 but even so I think the tree is on a good way
@@Bonsaifly yea it looks like a good start. Look forward to your next progress vid
@@mirandusings cheers :)
