I’ve never seen a bonsai repot video that well made ! Very clear, clean audio, footage etc.
I’m in love with this tree!! Truly majestic! Well done guys, you are masters at the trade
This was great. Love that this didn’t use dumbed-down language, and was not unnecessarily verbose. More important than a big vocabulary is knowing how to use it 👏 arigato gozaimasu! 🙏🏼
Fantastic explanation of the whole process. Keep up the brilliant work guys!
Great change of angle, small change, big difference,impressive!
the round ceramic pot was a perfect choice, goes with top oval shape of the tree. excellent vid! 🙏😊
Very very well done video i always feel like I've learned so much after watching your videos. The tree is stunning.
Hey thanks for the great info again, Ryan. It's really nice to see a video on the Monterey Cypress, I literally have hundreds of these in New Zealand, mostly young grown from seed, so it was a really nice surprise; very much a favorite of mine. Thanks again 🙂
Do you have any tips on growing them from seed? I planted probably 50 and had 2 come up , but 1 died.. I love them though! Especially the rugged ones that grow on the coast.
Like the information and detail explanations on repositioning and repotting this beautiful tree. Thank you for your great presentation.
What a magnificent tree! Nice job
Thanks for the tutorial and SAT vocabulary lesson.
You guys are AMAZING!!!!! I have learned sooo much from this guy! Thank you soooo very much!
Another wonderful video! thank you so much for the content
Very cool Bonsai, thanks for sharing Repotting a Bonsai
What a beautiful specimen!
perfect video! best repotting video out there...
Always Awesome Content Thanks Mirai🌲🌴🌳
Incredible tree, it is great to see someone using a cypress other than Hinoki cypress!
impressive tree. thanks for sharing
Mirai is killing the game. Yes, Ryan is excellent, but the team he has assembled around him is as impressive as the trees in his garden. Keep it up Mirai TEAM! (Troy looking hawt as always.)
It is good to realease these shorter versions of full movies. Also it would be awesome if you released older full videos out to increase amount of your fans.
wow... what a tree...
Very nice and informative video for bonsai lovers.
wow so beautifoll bonsai tree l love bonsai 😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳
Thank you!
I would love to see you re-style this tree.
As would I, but doubt we will. This is the natural look they get in the wild, which I think is the goal of this tree. This guy lives near where they grow wild and it is a rewiring video. He also has an undate. czcams.com/video/nVcS_EgEF9g/video.html
That's one lovely tree. But what's with the part about changing the angle of the tree if the before and after look of the tree are the same?
Wonderful.
Beautiful, where do you get the large bamboo chopsticks. Thank you.
Very nice
Solid
Great work! Any way to get ahold of some of the chopsticks you use so much better then regular Chinese chopsticks.
theyre pieces of bamboo he makes into "chopsticks"
He has a video of how they are made and last time I checked he sold the raw bamboo material too!
@@kylepurvis6231 Thanks that is what I was hoping for!
Pretty impressed this Monterrey Cyprus has such a compact rootball. Ive had no success with them, just super long and strong roots and foliage, no fine roots or foliage
that might be a hint that its too wet or not enough air in the roots. The roots wanne escape and go to the rim for more air
Try a root maker pot on the tree as you develop the roots, provides lots of air flow and keeps everything in balance better.
Would this tree be considered imperial size bonsai?
I think this one is a Venti.
How is this tree doing now?
Great video as always and I love the Bonsai...but that pot is too small for the width of that canopy and makes the composition unbalanced. But hey that is just me?! 😉
Cheers from Holland!

Great Demonstration of re-potting a mature Bonsai but i thought the container was too small in relation to the width of the canopy of the tree and did not do it justice.
Does Montery Cyprus bud back?
Couldn´t you find a bigger tree.......LOL. Damn that is awesome looking.
I might have missed it ... but what's the point of leaving old bonsai soil on the root system and not cleaning it all off for fresh water and h2o to get into everywhere? Left a Like
barerooting the tree would disturb the root system too much and make it less likely to survive the repot
@@CardThrone is that because it's an older/ larger tree? I do this with all my 1.5 foot high or under. Then i mix so of the orginal soil back in. About 1/4.
@@michaelbahr7267 it really depends on the species, most tropicals can be barerooted with no issue, conifers should never be (because of the beneficial mycelium and microbes) and deciduous trees are somewhere in between but its better safe than sorry and i wouldnt risk it with an old tree
@@CardThrone ok that makes more sense. I haven't done conifers yet..
@@CardThrone I had this question too. Thx for answering so clearly!
I have a Monterey cypress seedling. I think it's 1.5 yrs old. Does this apply to seedlings too? It's in normal potting mix (accidently slightly salty and it seems to love it 🥴) but was planning to repot into bonsai soil.
If so would mixing the old soil in with the new bonsai soil work? Or will it need the old soil around the roots completely like they did?
thanks, but the video aint complete without showing us the watering. we need the sweet satisfaction and the dopemine hit from playing the rain cloud and bringing hydrations a life to the tree
Tree looks too heavy for the pot. But I guess it's the best container you had at the time.
thats a very big tree
FUYUKAI DESU......HANDLE THEM WITH CARE....
I'm wondering aren't suppose to give it new soil previous may not have the nutrients it needs?
Is it me or is it borderline underpotted?
I understand the Japanese school prefers small pots.
You think I could have a T shirt, the kind and color you're wearing please ?
Great info!!!
But the structure of the branches on this bonsai are not correct at all.
The first branch comes right at you and across the trunk , then the second branch is at the same level as the 3rd branch.
Can you please explain the structure of this bonsai please.
PS. I'm not trying to be an ass, just trying to learn and apply what I've learned!
Thank you for taking you time to help!
Please define "correct" for me. Have you been to the Kokufu and seen all the handlebar branches and crossing trunks? Many of the nuances of bonsai have been taken as black and white, right and wrong by western cultures. To say something is "not correct" implies that there is a right and a wrong, which there isn't. This form aims to display the representation of nature in miniature, which it does. step outside, look at the pines and conifers, see how they grow. I hope you take the time to dive deeper into Mirai and their podcasts/learning format.
In other words, the "rules" of bonsai should not be taken so literally and so black and white, but infact open to interpretation as a guide. I think its almost arrogant to say the structure is incorrect and question the intentionality of Katsumi's work.
The instructor makes it a point to "break the rules..." If I remember correctly from another video he did... It gets people to talk about the tree itself... A true artist must have people talk about his work... It's really brilliant... 👍👍
@@rhysbertrand8903 a few friends went to Japan and studied a few years bonsai in well known school/nursery, and the lil that I've learned talks about the alternation of branches and back branches, no branches crossing over , no more than 2 branches in one bifurcation and so more. So non of the thousands of years that the Japanese have learned mean "no rules?" At no point I was trying to talk less of this bonsai or the artist! I'm just trying to understand the "why's" of this bonsai specially from miari.
And yes , there is a right and a wrong in everything! Art,work, life....more......
Think about sport. You're 7yo learning to pitch a baseball. A coach will teach you the basics mechanics to pitch. At the end of the day there will always be those individuals that lend themselves to pitching with a dropped elbow, side arm etc but it just works. The bonsai professional teachers beginners a basic set of concepts in order to give them a foundation to build upon, and a reference point to come back to. But at the end of the day there will always be pieces that lend themselves to work against the concepts. These structural flaws you pointed out aren't obvious for a variety of reasons. Yes two branches originate from almost the same point but they have different trunk lines and pad height.
Layered soils?? That's not bonsai.
So dramatic lol
We are not 1st graders. You seem to always act like we are all no common sense folks. Seems rude.
Beautiful, where do you get the large bamboo chopsticks. Thank you.
