How to make a Bonsai tree



Learn how to make a bonsai tree at home! In this movie we show you how to create a bonsai from cheap nursery stock material. The tree we work on is a 5-year-old Spruce (Picea abies), purchased at a local garden center for about 20 USD.

  1. Hi there bonsai’s empire. Please COULD you help me I really need guidance I’m at the very beginning of my bonsai growing and out of 50 seeds planted only five have come to life. My enquiry is about my rose bud/ Judas trees which are growing super fast but I read someplace that you never let them have more than three shoots COMMING of the main stem so I cut of two on each plant is this correct ? Or am I butchering my poor Judas trees before they have even took a stronger hold in this earthly realm. Any guidance would be great please if u have time. But if I keep letting them grow there just going to get enormous so I’m confused. Thanks again. From Karl.

  3. I like the way that the info to your personal sites were placed but you also said that we can use our own sources

  4. Having an oriental backyard garden (on the loose), now I've seen your video, I 'll try to have a go with a bonsai. Thanks for the nice video 🌲🌳😀

  5. I am going to plant a bonsai next year … And yep… I wanna start from scratch. Idc how long it takes…i wanna do it myself… So I'll be back on this channel next year for sure

  6. Это очень красиво,но мне кажется, что любой бонсай это насилие над растением
    Как ноги в колодках.

  7. May I know what're the ingredients of the soil mix you used in this video?
