That's some amazing outside-the-basket thinking! Love it
Hello, Jerome. I watch your videos, because I am learning English language, and your voice and emphasis are very helpful for listening comprehension, and I am fond of gardening and flowers.
I have one Idea for you tha you could try. Youse an artificial growing light source and use it from the opposite way. I mean from the bottom into the direction to heaven lighten the tree. so the tree can grow in direction to the light source. It would solve the problem you are shown in this video that you solved in a different way. What do you thing about my solution?
Thank you! Looks amazing!
Very clever, impressive and great vision with the styled trunk!
Lovely
what if you put a reflective surface (like a mirror) below the pot to reflect light back up to the lower cascade to allow it to grow more vigorously?
Very cool.
Love this idea. Would have also love to have seen it longer that way but I get it.
I could be wrong, but I think it would have gotten root bound quickly. Even if the tree is planted “upside down”, gravity will still take over and roots will grow downward. So the only way roots will climb and fill up the pot is if it got root bound and up was the only way left to go.
You could plant it upside down sticking a lot of the trunk in the soil. Therefor there would be open soil for the roots to come downward. If that makes sense.
Regardless, excellent idea! You are a blessing to this community. Love your content and always look forward to it
You’re creating a BEAUTIFUL, “elegant” looking bonsai!! Loved your “outside-the-basket [or cascade pot] thinking”, as Garin Knutson said! Would shading the top portion of the bonsai work as a way to decrease vigor and growth at the top? Would using some reflective material beneath the lower cascade, as Michael McCarthy suggested, be an option? Thank you for your videos and examples of your expert, creative work!!! Hello to Mari.
Out of the box thinking to get a real masterpiece. GG
A bald cypress never looked so good. Amazing!
👍👌👌
I have a friend who builds small shade nets for the upper part of his cascades so that the lower parts get full sun but the top part is always in the shade. He also angles the cascading part upwards. For a while he had a bench that he would shade and hang the cascade parts off the shaded bench into the full sun but it didn't fully accommodate all of his trees so he switched to little shade umbrellas. Seems to even the growth out pretty well.
