Could of sworn you said " you can do all kinds of crazy shit" @ 1:09 on the first hearing.

You use miracle grow on your bonsai? YOU MADMAN!!!

The only thing I can think of is that sphagnum moss is, in actuality, manna for plants.

[losteden]

hello like to know where I buy this land, and what its purpose is normal plants in soil? is to put in the bottom of the pot and then filled with normal soil on top? I'm with the idea of buying cedar of Lebanon and Colorado blue spruce and a Sequoia think are good for bonsai? thank you hug

[marms1000]

would sphagnum peat moss be okay.....that is all I can find up here in Canada right now.....all the gardening stuff has been stored away...I also have moss growing in my lawn....could I use that for the top?

[sharkfin154]

how can anybody say whats right or wrong in bonsai it what YOU create and should be different from others

[millerca1986]

i noticed a lot of your plants are pretty tall compared to most bonsai. how can you keep them smaller?

[totkrieg]

@millerca1986 trim them shorter

[RasmusMEriksen]

Well the plants is indeed growning nicely! And looks good.

But it isn't what I would call ''a real bonsai''. And dosnt work with the japanese traditions.

Still god work, and some nice vids. for beginners.

[louiesiy]

do i dare comment on this trash...firstly i'm glad you're into bonsai...and i know every people has the right to plant their own plants...but what you are crossing over madly is tradition...it had been passed down by the chinese and the japanese for centuries.

[louiesiy]

well i'm not in serious argument or anything but doing this style of levitt is just...well an insult to bonsai...i'm not discouraging you but i'm saying that its just improper...the chinese made these why bother changing it...well if America is trying out a new style better than what the origin says then why not...

[Steno1000r]

Oh my god.... :-(

[kami3233]

[Smashingpunp]

What's "moss"?!

Can I found it here in Portugal?!

Thanks for your videos!

Really cool!

I have my own Bonsay thanks to you!

[Iconiser]

Thanks for your video it has helped me

[bonsai9723]

You're quite welcome.

Your bonsai is far from any good. Your tree starts with a Y branch (fork), not exactly desirable. Your repotting method is a bit dodgy too. You didn't rake the roots out which gives a more controlled way of root pruning where you only get rid of the older and less fibrous roots.

to talkenlate04's question, one thing i would suggest to you if you have root rot problems is to think about using a finer grade soil. Bonsai soil is good which is widely available or the premium choice, akadama......

[maddcatone]

While you may not be impressed with their shape, you can't ignore the fact that they are very healthy. So take from it what you wish, but I suggest look for what did work and not what didn't. 8)

[DevaJones03]

i must admit out of all of the critisisms of this man's videos nobody has the common sense to say...well something is working because the plants are alive and growing nicely...

[DevaJones03]

so i say for where he lives this technique must be worth something. Also you must remember even though bonsai has been done for centuries...there are always new ways of doing things. Dont be so closed minded as the masters of any craft are willing to try new things and learn new things as this is what makes them masters...i'm not saying this guy is perfect but he is offering something at others arent...that is a newness to a very old craft & art form.

[maddcatone]

Very true my friend. I tried to say this on a previous video, but the hecklers don't seem to listen to reason. Amazing how so many people just openly decide to hate people or things that they know nothing about. I agree totally with you. His trees are alive and thriving (I've seen traditional bonsai artists unable to get even that far at times). Bonsai9723, thank you for the videos.

[terrapin5]

who cares if it has a Y fork? it's still a beautiful tree =)

[talkenlate04]

Do you ever have trouble with root rot?

[bonsai9723]

I have never had a case of root rot. The sphagnum moss allows for great drainage, plus I have large drainage holes in the pots. The roots I see are exceptional Look at the videos and check out the roots. Check this video. I have never had a problem with root root.

[talkenlate04]

So do you ever have trouble with root rot?

[bonsai9723]

Hi, My plants have been through hurricanes, a road trip from Phila. to Florida in January (when Januaries were cold), and survived being thrown in the trash heap when I thought they were dead. I believe that the sphagnum moss has a quality about it that is very restorative and healing for plants. Maybe thats why mine seem so tough.

[mcue]

thank you very much. just pruned my ficus a bit today, and your vids were very helpful. I didn't realize that bonsais were so resilient.

[moriankhomer]

thanks for posting your 4-series video. they are very informative

[bonsai9723]

Thank you.
