Best show of conifer potting soil with detail, thanks so much! Amazing what you can do to plants..they are tough!
Thanks for sharing the knowledge…especially with regard to root pruning!
Great content! Thank you for sharing. Continuing to follow your channel! 🥒🌱🍃🌿🌵🥒🌾
Can you make a video of where you planted the Skylands? I'd love to see where you chose it's new home to be. Thanks for all your videos, it's hard to find good conifer content. 👍🏼🌲
I like your clear voice and very good quality camera and that is the way to provide education and hope you can make more video for young japanese white pine
Great video
maybe a bigger pot?
YouTube doesn't always make great suggestions … but tonight, it did 🙂 I'm an Oregonian, and I used to take our trees for granted, but over the past few years I've really taken an eye to them. My interest has blossomed into an amateur bonsai hobby and now I'm constantly on the lookout. It didn't take me long to make it to your storefront after seeing your videos! I said I would stop for the season, but I can't help it, haha. It's clear how much love goes into your trees. I was really impressed by the individual attention given to the grafts. I went ahead and subscribed and I'm looking forward to more!
Thank you.
Beautiful plant….nice job.
Love the gold coin pine tree, I want one! so beautiful!
Thank you! Very interesting
#800 Do I get a prize? Maybe pick a tree. I'm just starting my bonsai journey and glad I found your channel i watch a lot of Peter Chan videos. I especially love conifers pines do really well where I'm at eastern NC. I was able 2 find an old Christmas tree farmer who had a lot of knowledge and interesting conifers. He also given me the opportunity to try n dig up an 20 or 30 year old pinus sylvestris beuvronensis with a 7 or 8 in trunk that's only 4 ft tall. I plan trying to prune the roots at least season or maybe till next year. Before I even think about ball and burlappig it. Any help or wise advice would be appreciated. happy new year
So I’m assuming you use forgery size wood particles and pumice? That’s all? No nutrients? I’m looking to pot up my pencil holly and I’m not sure what kind of soil mix to use. I found this video, but I’m not quite sure I heard you correctly on the ingredients for the soul since I heard no nutrients
Do you have a video explaining the crate pot?
Grest ! Thank you for share , then i started pine tree plant to big pot looks better .
Wonderful video! Excellent information, explained by a pro in such a humble manner.
Sawing like that is not going to shock the plant ?
very good video. I would have never dared to be so aggressive with roots before this!!!!
Solid video! How about caring for the conifer trees in pots? Water/food things like that.
That little tree didn’t like having it’s roots butchered in half … You are creating a Bonzai tree .
