Why dont you want to add/ mix materials with the sphagnum moss?
that was good i lernt a lot from that
Ouch… It isn’t called a ‘Bahnzai’, and what he is doing is how those roadside scam bonsai sellers get their merchandise. Bonsai are miniature trees, not amputated ones… once they develop to that size, they need more water and food than the butchered roots can provide. Get a small branch cutting from that juniper and let it grow its own roots in a starter mix.
wait tell me about the chinese view to japanese view part from anyone on this comment list…see my bonsai has all sides view of a perfect bonsai but one is not? does this in anyway affect it being called a true bonsai?
Some of the comments are correct in that a bonsai purist would scoff at this method of “bonsai” creation. Practitioners of the Japanese and Chinese form of the art will tell you that it takes years and a great deal of patience to make a true bonsai. That being said, there is nothing wrong with this method for beginners or casual hobbyists. Not everyone who paints has to paint in the style of Da Vinci. It certainly does hurt the plant (plants have no central nervous system). Overall, great videos
hi, my name is diego, i from venezuela, valle de la pascua. i too make bonsai, but i have little. is very good your work
it is a juniper
what is the name on this plant ??? i new fanatic of the bonsai !!!
to all the bad comments: man go to the hell why us not are whit green pece or simething like this, is a cute tree and after a super cute tree, the tree surviving of any way soo go to protec cow’s o something like this (im from arg soo i write very bad in inglish)
Cry Cry, any plant manipulated by man could be reffered to by sensitive people as plant torture the second you snip the branch! only ruff at the start then the tree is enjoyed for generations
What will happen if you mix the moss with dirt or gravel? because it says in one of my bonsai book to add it to help roots and foliage color for chinese juniper or shipaku ( very good for bonsai )
Hi,
This is some sort of ground cover juniper, I’m not sure of the name. Sorry.
Jerry
what kind of juniper is it??
it ´s a juniperus procumbens…
but please don´t do this at home.this way.
that´s plant torture.
and wont be a bonsai anytime.
You’re wasting these poor plants… You better stop doing it!
apalled abit disgusted? lol! adjust your meds!!
Hi jerry ,ive watched a few of your videos but after watching this one and reading the comments,i just had to write a comment and im apalled and a bit disgusted that you didnt know what type of juniper it was you were cutting up.How can you care for that tree and give it the right requirements if you dont know what it is.Also i would like to ask have you been doing bonsai for all the years you have used this moss?because i havent seen one good bonsai specimen if u have been doing it for 16+yrs
The tree he’s butchering is called a green mound juniper, aka procumbens nanas. However, don’t subscribe to his bonsai antics. Any bonsai artist will tell you that he’s a butcher. Wrong potting mix, terrible pruning technique, wrong repotting technique, et al. He doesn’t even know what variety of juniper he’s butchering. Amazing.
Not only is it recommended, but it’s crucial for most, if not all coniferous trees. Gravel is ‘grit’ and is needed for soil aeration, as well as drainage. Make sure the gravel size is correct. Soil mixtures vary, but I use 10% peat, 40% akadama, 30% volcanic lava or grit, and 20% bark humus. Some masters in Japan use 100% coarse sand so they can totally control all the nutrients. Your roots will branch out more with grit, but as for color, you need fertilizer high in nitrogen.
