@volkoblade Just make sure you don’t prune it to often and treat it like any other bonsai
i put mine out for an hour when the sun comes out,right now its outside on our picnic bench for a bit of sunshine,do u loosen the soil? coz mine is very stuck together in the pot!
wtf? its winter outside and i should just put my bonsai outside?
ha fresh air, not in these day
Im about to attempt to bonsai a red japanese maple, anyone have any tips? i’d appreciate it.
What!? I FLOOD MY BONSAIS and they are thriving!
Your videos are the most useful on youtube, thank you.
Is there anyone out there doing bonzai with one hand?
what type of tree is that in ur video?
Patience is a virtue.. especially for growing bonsai lol i don’t think yours will last long.
I like all your video’s thank you very much for hints and tips.
A good indoor bonsai would be Jade… they are very hearty and are very unique. They hold alot of water compared to other bonsai, so watering is a bit less frequent. Do some research before purchasing your bonsai because they do require a frequent and good amount of work.
Hm. I advice you go for Fukien Tea (Carmona) or Ficus indeed. You can take these species outside during summer but you should watch the temperature! ^^ Carmona has small white flowers during late spring and summer, really nice with their dark green leaves. I have two Carmonas standing in my bed room, located next to a window(south) and their easy to maintain. Till now… =p Azalea Indicum can also be kept inside and outside during summer, they also flower! GL
Ficus are generally a good choice for indoors. Also, some form of gardenia, and I think Bougainvillea.
Thank you for the reply ferdinand4444
This video is a lot better than others, you are looking up at the camera, thinking about what you are going to say, just remember not to mumble and open your mouth, we all want to hear what you have to say, it’s very useful!
any indoor tree will do, but then don’t take it outside at all. go to the garden center and buy a one foot indoor tree, prune it, repot it and go from there.
If I want to make a bonsai tree and keep it inside, what type of tree should i start with?
i may bring it outside once in a while, liek when friends are over and such, but other than that it mostly will be inside, if any1 could help me out I will be very thankfull.
thats for the help,
have a good day =P
OMG can we speed it up a little
oliva u said u dont have leave but prickles or needles its an out door bonsai not ment to be kepted inside if u leave it there it will die it needs a period of dormancy. hope i helped ^.^
you say ur keeping ur tree inside right? does it have needles (prickles) if it does that not an indoor bonsai tree its dieing because its suppost to be out doors its under too much stress in needs a period of dormancy. i would put it out side and look up more about ur type of bonsai
If anyone has seen my videos you would have probably noticed that my room is full of plants, Well I have a bonsai tree too and it isn’t doing too good. It is winter so I am keeping it in my room by the window. I keep it well watered. The leaves(not realt leaves more like prickles) Are going brown and are becoming hard and falling off. The mass at the bottow of the tree is also going red and is crumbeling. I have triend everything! Can someone suggest a solution? Thanks.
pruning is clipping the “problem” and Unnesseccary unwanted branches and leaves and when repotting you trim the root ball down and theres leaf pruning which is cutting the leaves smaller because by today bonsai standards smaller is better
talking too slow took 2 min just to say take care of your bonsai.
