  • Thank you for sharing

  • very like your video

  • i have 4 different color bougainvillea potted plant can these plant can be grafted if yes then how?

  • Your video gave me fresh motivation to transfer my 1975 lavender bougainvillea currently in 12-inch pot into a new bonsai pot home like what you have been doing. Thank you so much for taking time to post this video.

  • Beautiful!

  • I just got a Red BOUGAINVILLEA and it's great looking! I have to think where to plant it. Will they climb the side of a house? I think that would be killer if they cover a wall.

    Great video, thank you.

  • Major trimming depends on how often you work on your bonsai.I am very busy. Bonsai is a small part of my life. So lots of my trees could use more frequent care, but I can't always keep up.I have a lot of trees. If you have a few, it is much easier to keep things under control. I have my favorite Fukien Tea that is do for a major haircut that will eventually be posted. The trick is to fertilize frequently(I do once a week in summer) and trim and directionally prune to creat shapes you like.

  • Thank you for taking the time and effort to write. Glad to be of service. Thanks.

  • Trimming depends a lot on personal taste. I have a number of bonsai, so I often don't get around to each of them on a regular basis. When I finally do, it depends on what I see within the tree. You learn by experimenting and by examining others' work. You can try to do root layering to get a thick trunk as a starting point. With sphagnum, because of frequent fertilizing, the tree grows quicker and with pruning you can get an older look in a shorter time. Thanks for writing!

  • amazing, i cant believe how helpful you are!

  • excellent video i just have a few questions, how often should you do major trimming and how do you get the trunk to fatten on a young bonsai?
