Bonsaify | Stop Doing "This" and Make Better Bonsai!

"You can't make a really good bonsai if your tree is not growing vigorously." Eric shares vital tips to get better results from developing bonsai. He uses a Coast Redwood and a Kishu rock planting as two examples of what not to do, and then how to fix it. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I Bonsai is a repetitive process of pruning, cutting back, and wiring. And the tree needs to have growth to do that. Eric compares an unhealthy redwood to the growth achieved by a much healthier one. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I Similar comparison between juniper cuttings on rock vs. a cutting grown in a larger growing container. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I Tiny containers slow down trees development and make it harder for you to have a finished bonsai. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I Middle development and mature tree comparison. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I Mature trees potted down in smaller containers to slow growth - different approach for younger, middle development trees. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I This applies to deciduous trees as well! Eric uses a Japanese Maple as an example. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I Finally, Eric defines the "this" he's been talking about! Don't use tiny pots for bonsai development. https://www.seevid.ir/fa/w/mAI9ijgfM3I For better results...
