I bought a mini Christmas tree at Home Depot a month ago and it was dying so I just did bonsai to it and now it’s gonna be my project for the rest of my life.
Its always funny to have bonsai tips for beginners. If im starting a bonsai, it still gonna take me 10-15-20 years to achive the goal. So if i do it right, in arround 15-20 years im gonna have complet a bonsai and call myself no a beginner anymore.
You need to plant trees from more northern hardiness zones, because in pots trees are more vulnerable to cold. For example, all my local Scots pines died this winter from frosts, but the Siberian pine survived. Indoors, I am keeping a pomegranate tree as bonsai and also a few dwarf chili peppers.
@@Crab_Juice22 there are special indoor varieties of pomegranate, for example, Nana, which are more suitable as bonsai - have smaller leaves, blossom easier, etc. I grew mine just from a seed from supermarket fruit. As for care, the further north it grows, the more leaves it sheds in winter. So in winter it needs little watering. In summer it needs a lot, plus fertilising is preferred. I fertilise less than is instructed to avoid overfertilising. The more sun, the better. So the care is similar to most houseplants, key difference being that you strogly cut on watering in winter, but not as succulents, of course.
Thank you for a wonderfully informative video that didn’t waste time and gave useful information. New subscriber here and I’m really enjoying your content. Appreciate you and your work very much.
I have plant that I got from a taxi driver in Essex UK it was very ill and I nurses it back to health it is or has become one of my joys on this planet the other is tobacco that almost got annihilated by underground slugs
I just wanted to say that I enjoy your videos.. I intend to enroll in one of your classes. May I ask a question? I have heard many bonsai youtubers about Ficus on how resilient, strong and forgiving. they are. Then why do I have 2 dead Ficus trees? They were watered regularly and sitting in front of a sunny window.
You mean when you have many seedlings growing together in a seedbed? In that case, a few weeks to months after propagation - when you can separate them safely.
I have a juniper bonsais that I got yesterday and I was wondering if its okay that I kept it inside but let it sit in front of my window for a few hrs for sun?
Hi guys! I have a question about my bonsai and I would be very happy if you could help me. I bought a little Carmina Bonsai yesterday and when I got home I saw a little Limax coming out from the soil. It was like the worms you go fishing with. Are they harmful for the tree or for the soil? What can I do to make a "detoxification" to the soil but to not harm the bonsai? Could you help me, please!
I've got one over 100 years old, it has been passed down with the house and it is massive, I put it outside every summer and bring it in for the cold months, being outside makes it flower in the winter, also it being a succulent makes it easy to get starts off of when it losses a branch.
Well you need to select a tree species that fits the place where you want to place it. But no tree will grow without lots of light. You perhaps need to buy something else than a bonsai in that case ;)

Oh the bonsai tree will never be complete, it changes all the time.

How do you keep a pomegranate tree as bonsai? This is very interesting to me, and I have always had the dream of owning a pomegranate tree.

love the squirrel at 2:19
You spotted it! :-)
he was a paid actor
The third tree at 1:46 is fantastic
Yes that Juniper is fantastic isn't it!
Always fantastic information, presentation and photography. Thank you 👍
Glad you enjoyed it

what do you think about Avocado Bonsais? I have two of them growing them indoor. They are already 3 or 4 years old
It's an experience and experiment, good luck 👍

Well, the Ficus is resilient - but you do need to read up about the care they need. Perhaps check our ficus videos here on youtube?
I have Acacia and Black pines growing and I was wondering if you know if they are good for indoor or outdoor. Are they hard to keep and care for?
Hi there, you'll find all info here; www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species
Fantastic video shot against that incredible backdrop. 👍
Thanks Jason!

When should I transfer a seedling from a regular pot to a bonsai training pot?
You mean when you have many seedlings growing together in a seedbed? In that case, a few weeks to months after propagation - when you can separate them safely.
@@bonsaiempire no, i got weeping willow cuttings which obviously can’t go into a training pot, so when do I transfer then to a training pot?
I have a juniper bonsais that I got yesterday and I was wondering if its okay that I kept it inside but let it sit in front of my window for a few hrs for sun?
Nope. Juniper is an outdoor, all year outdoor, tree.
If I have to use a larger pot how can I restrict growth? I suppose I could plant it in a small pot and burry that pot in the larger planter.
Why do you need a large pot? Oh well - restricting growth is done by many techniques (mainly; pruning).
@@bonsaiempire Pruning, great. Thanks.
@@bonsaiempirewhat soil can I use akadama amd pumice?
Can you share some tips for making bonsai of neem tree??
Oh Im afraid I have no experience with the Neem tree
Informative
When you say outdoor. Is that potted or in the ground? I got a halved whiskey barrel with nothing it in. Not without a green thumb. 👍
Outdoor - outside, so in whatever pot, container or ground :)

I dont think they would harm your tree, but make sure by asking on our forum; www.bonsaiempire.com/forum
@@bonsaiempire Thank you! ✋ Do you think I can still keep it in my room, or should I move it outside, even if my bonsai is for indoor.
?
I was given a small juniper bonzai for Valentine’s Day so is it completely impossible to grow it indoors
It is. Outside only.
good
podocarpus bonsai tree indoor or outdoor plant?
You could, but outside it will be happier :) See: www.bonsaiempire.com/tree-species/podocarpus
@@bonsaiempire many thanks 👍👍
very nice. where does it come from?
Where is the best place to buy tools for a begginer?
I think online you'll have lots of options, we have some videos on bonsai tools as well for more info.
What type of ficus plant was that large one?
A Ficus retusa
@@bonsaiempire thankyou 😁 I do terrariums/vivariums and interested in starting bonsai . Definitely got a sub from me
i have never seen a jade plant that big in my life. it must not be common to keep them that long where im from
My dad has some huge jades. He’s had them for like 30 years
I've got one over 100 years old, it has been passed down with the house and it is massive, I put it outside every summer and bring it in for the cold months, being outside makes it flower in the winter, also it being a succulent makes it easy to get starts off of when it losses a branch.
Nice pet's to grow ❤
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
What about in the winter, I only just got my bonsai today and there’s no sunlight 😭
Well you need to select a tree species that fits the place where you want to place it. But no tree will grow without lots of light. You perhaps need to buy something else than a bonsai in that case ;)
@@bonsaiempire I’ve kept it on my window seal with the curtain undrawn. I spray it it water 2-3 times a day and water its soil twice. Is that okay ?
@@bonsaiempire I also keep my window open few hours a day so it gets air and it is sunny in the morning but only for a few hours
You need to read about bonsai care - go to bonsaiempire.com and ready about your tree species and techniques like watering and placement.
very nice👍💖
Thank you! Cheers!
Where did you get your black water spout ?
My what?
2:50-2:56
Your watering can, I believe. I’m also interested in that and the lovely long handled scissors.
ここはどこですか？まるで日本庭園みたいです！
It is a Japanese garden but not in Japan :-) It is located in The Hague.
Amazing
Thanks
House plants belong inside. Bonsai belong outside. Water your Bonsai with a garden hose not an oil can.
👍👍👍💕
imagine being a tree for 31 years. how many more apples do you want?
👍👌👌🙂
