    I wasn't sure about your removing those crossing roots since it seemed that was the whole aesthetic of the tree, but it certainly revealed beautiful areas of root structure underneath. How you see that, what's behind and under the outer layers of the tree, is beyond me.

    Dr. Chan, all the knowledge and information and experience you have and eagerly share is a blessing and inspiration. Many people fear opinions or arguments or criticism, you don't.
    Thank you for sharing about your COMPOSTED potting soil mixtures. Do you use "totally inert" items in any of your mixtures? What is your opinion, experience with grafting to create Nebari? Will it or should it work? Sorry, I have so many questions, but I am not as bold as my mentor.

    • @peterchan3100
      @peterchan3100 Před rokem +1

      Thank you Walter for raising these points - all this helps to improve our videos. Feedback is all important and I learn a lot from our viewers too. So this is very much a two-way process as all education ought to be. The teacher should be prepared to learn from their students. That is how the fund of knowledge expands.
      Akadama is partly inert but as I am not a soil scientist - I am not 100% sure but the volcanic grit we use could be almost totally inert.
      As regards grafting roots is concerned, I did touch on this in one of my videos but will do talk and demonstrate it again in greater detail in a future video. OK.

  • @gerryboy1395
    @gerryboy1395 Před rokem +2

    Is there a plan, or is it still possible, to redo the tree's alignment (balance) with the pot? Or is it just maybe me who sees it. The tree has the right bend and should have more space to accommodate the shape on the right side (more soil). Rather than having more space (soil) at the left which leaves it a bit unbalanced as a whole setup. Or is it too late to grow more root mass on the right side and reduce the left side? Just a query. Thanks
