How I created The Walking Boxwood Bonsai Part 2 Root Pruning and Potting.mp4

This is another Boxwood bonsai that I created from a nursery plant. Part 2 for the final pruning, root pruning and potting. The roots of this plant (actually 2 plants) look like 2 legs, so I name this bonsai : The Walking Bonsai. Thanks, don't forget to subscribe to my Channel for future video clips.

Where does one find bonsai pots? How do you know which plants can be made into bonsai plants?

[TheBonsaiStudent]

@PenguinKommando Hi, pots can be found on local nurseries (some), but better chance if you can find Bonsai Nurseries (or even on Ebay!). Which plants to use? well you better get a book, they will suggest which are the classic plants to use. And once you are comfortable working with those, you can start experimenting on other plants (like me)

@TheBonsaiStudent Are there any books you read or could recommend?

[TheBonsaiStudent]

@freddchen1231 man, I have so many books in mind. II would recommend go to the public library, and just browse in gardening section and get any Bonsai books (preferably one with lots of pictures). Now, if want something little bit more intermediate to advance level, I would recommend:The Living Art of Bonsai: Principles & Techniques of Cultivation & Propagation, Amy Liang

@TheBonsaiStudent Thats a good idea i´ll check our library tommorow thank you :)

Nice Nebari on this one. Just planted a Boxwood and hoping for a great outcome.

@tvgirlnyc Sure, if the plant is healthy, this is no big deal. In fact, I could have even taken more roots off (and also cut off more leaves). by the way, the tree is doing nicely after 4 month, will post an update when i get enough footage
