BONSAI EASY NEW METHOD # 39-BANYAN OF 6-22-08 REVISITED

[engelwyre]

Just a note, banyan is a style, this tree is a ficus. I've had similar results using my turface/lava/granite/pine bark soil mix, ficus are voracious growers. Although I'm not a fan of this sphagnum method, I respect that it's your choice and enjoy your videos :)

Learn how to pronunciate bonsai

[kodachiken]

I must say thanks for the sphagnum tips, its the best for bonsai, even better than akadama.

Only advice i would like to give is for you to work on the quality of your trees. I would like to see you work more on some yamadori with big trunk and shaping trees by the basics of bonsai.

[captonkush]

shut up or put up lmaf

[amazinero]

How often do you water that tree? How much water do you give it?

[vnshiju]

hi, your videos are quite informative. Would be nice if you can pump up your volume a bit while making the video.

[dannonater]

You must bow to tree before and after working with it. Say to tree "ona mashi gas" which means (may I interact with you), before touching tree.

Just kidding, your doing great. Keep up the good work.

[TheBonsailover]

for those experts in bonsai do you really know what the word bonsai means and btw bonsai9723 is trying to help those people wich are not confident with bonsai, so you should keep your comments for yourself

[TheBonsailover]

i like the way you grow your bonsais its easy for beginners and even for those who already experienced bonsai btw those who think that the banyan in the video is not a bonsai are total idiots.

[gta4wyatt]

hey guy i have SPHAGNUM MOSS gwoning

[amazinero]

@seniorwisdom . Enlighten me. What makes a tree a bonsai?

[Camronas]

Personally I am a traditionalist when it comes to Bonsai, that being said yours looks great even after 29 days. There are a few things that do look better in the traditional method however considering how much fast this tree has developed it would be interesting to see the slow traditional style merged with this speedy growth method. I might even try it once I get some more money but till then slow and steady for me.

[bananatree94]

thats so awesome how old is the tree? (not sense you planted it but how old from seed?)

[PCO636]

Hello Jerry,

I have just seen the video where the moss has got a type of slime mould I think you called, but now watching this video I'm sure I could see the same type of webs on the moss, is it mould or is it the light. Thanks for the videos though, I enjoy your videos and subscribe to your films. Peace.

[tomlomboy]

I really enjoy watching your show, I learned a lot about the sphagnum moss technique. How often do you water it and what kind of filterizer do you commonly used on your bonsai? Thank you, and I'm preparing to start my own bonsai.

[bonsai9723]

Thank you.

[rav8452]

Hey,

Just want to say I really enjoy your show. Keep up the good work!!

[bonsai9723]

Thanks a million!

 Jerry

They are doing fine. I expect to show them both on an upcoming re-visit episode.

[swordy0514]

how are the two junepir trees doing now.. the first one and the one from part 21

[ruthiesea]

Beautiful! You have given me confidence to try using my banyan for bonsai. As far as the "others" (watching to much 'Lost')are concerned, beauty is in the eyes of beholder. And I behold it as magnificent!

[bonsai9723]

Hi, If you planted them in sphagnum moss, I wouldn't worry. Take a look at the chunk of roots I cut off of either of my banyans. The first responded by growing like crazy. Ficus do very well and are aggressive growers. If you packed the roots tightly with the sphagnum moss,

[NickBowers13]

I got two new ficus tree's and they look pretty similar to your banyan (which is looking amazing) and i planted them in the same type of dish and everything but i had to cut down many big roots. Should i be worried about that?

[scott1423678]

I could only find sphagnum peat moss when I started a couple trees with this method. What do you think of milled sphagnum? Any advice?
