Gert's Bonsai Log
Добавлен 4 апр 2021
Not intended to be a guide or advice. This is a diary of the mundane within my bonsai garden.
Green Island Ficus Repot
Repotted this Green Island Ficus. In 2022 I cut this back from stock material to make it a shohin sized tree. Getting closer to the goal every year.

Kishu Shimpaku Juniper Repot (2)
Просмотров 6337 месяцев назад
Repotting this Kishu Juniper that was initially repotted two years ago. The pot is a little small and had already become rootbound. It was becoming difficult for water to pass through the soil so I decided to repot this tree and take a little off the sides and bottom. You can see the original video of this tree by looking at the playlist below for Kishu Juniper #1
Future Bunjin - Shimpaku Juniper
Просмотров 3487 месяцев назад
I got this tree last year. It was severely pot bound but I had received it in mid-summer during one of the hottest years ever. I did a quick slip pot into larger soil to try and get it healthier. It responded with a lot of nice green growth. Now that it is vigorous I've reduced the roots and fit it into this small pot. If all goes well I will style this tree this year once it has had some time ...
Mini JBP - A Tight Squeeze
Просмотров 7107 месяцев назад
Jamming this small and simple JBP into a handmade pot. This tree was stick straight when I purchased and cut to the lowest branch. More of an experiment for my future pines to see how well this reacts to such a small amount of room to grow. Let's see what happens :)

Itoigawa Juniper Reduction and Shari Work
Просмотров 209Год назад
This is the continuation of work on the same tree from this video last year ruclips.net/video/oOcq_iVptNg/видео.html and the video prior to that ruclips.net/video/Wuo6zU_seyQ/видео.html I had originally left this long leggy branch on in an attempt to prevent the foliage from going juvenile on the tree. It seems to have worked a little. Now reducing the branch doing a little shari work and trimm...
Willow Leaf Ficus Cutback and Repot
Просмотров 125Год назад
Cutback this Willow Leaf I've been growing out after a trunk chop in 2020. I placed it into a cut-corner pot I made last year. It's not the greatest looking pot but it will be fun to use for this. The camera overheated during filming and I lost a section of footage.
52nd Annual Austin Bonsai Society Show

A quick walk-through of the 52nd Annual Austin Bonsai Society Show. A great selection of trees were displayed this year.
Spring Pruning
Просмотров 212Год назад
Trimming up some of the spring growth on this maple and some zelkovas. I let the maple push this year instead of pinching buds. Next year the buds will be pinched before they extend. The four zelkovas were cuttings I struck. I'm pruning now to encourage budding and branching. My hope is that these will become brooms down the line.
Trimming and Striking Cuttings - Corkbark Chinese Elm
Просмотров 148Год назад
This tree was in need of some trimming to prevent the top branching from becoming too thick. I thought I might strike some cuttings to create some tiny corkbark elms in the future.
Japanese Maple Thread Graft
Просмотров 191Год назад
This was a twin trunk project but alas one trunk withered and died. In this video I'm attempting to thread graft two more trunks in an attempt to make a triple trunk project.
Itoigawa Juniper Repot
Просмотров 140Год назад
Repotting this itoigawa juniper. This is the tree from an earlier video. ruclips.net/video/KPa2s4OEJh8/видео.html I think eventually I will make this tree from 2 of the smaller branches on this tree removing all the rest. These upper branches got fat quick!

bonito árbol y buen trabajo 🥰
Repotting bonsai yang menyenangkan ❤
I purchased a motezuma cypress bonsai a couple years ago and the growth is starting to get a little out of hand. I’m just scared to prune/style it. Thanks for the inspiration!
I just watched your follow-up video with the little seedlings coming out of the 2 pots with all those great roots. It seems like a young guy could go into business just starting these little trees like you have done and wiring them in the first year. I'm inspired to do the same, but at 70 years of age I know that I'll be lucky to ever seeing a "finished" bonsai tree. But, hey, it's the journey isn't it? Good luck, buddy.
Can I ask what kind of soil you are using because I have a tree I need to pot up and not for sure what kind of soil to use!!! Thanks
I would use akadama, pumice and lava mixed together equally.
Bellissimo
so beautiful guys, what an amazing tree for a fun activity
wonderful 🐒
beautiful tree!
Thanks Tim!
If I am going to use the pot, do you think I need to gold leaf the inside and bottom of the pot ? I have a Bigei that was broken in transit (replaced by seller) and I used gorilla glue to piece them together. I am thinking of putting another layer of JBweld on the cracks to fill up some missing parts. Can I use the JB as an adhesive to the gold leaf? Is it wet enough for the gold leaf to stick?
Sorry for the late reply CTREBC123 -- I think I would put gold leaf on the inside as well, just for a more uniform look. It is definitely cosmetic and doesn't affect strength at all, but since you'll already be placing the leaf elsewhere I would just do it at that moment. Would love to see the result w/ the Bigei pot!
Some very nice trees Gert!
Did it survive?
It did! I'll post a follow up video soon :)
After re-creating the results are very good thanks for sharing I like it
Thanks Bonsador! Still a lot of work left to do on it but it's inching in the right direction :)
Gorgeous. Love the design and the big CHOPS. Keep it up!
Thank you BBI!
Wunderschön und beeindruckend! 😃👍💚
That jm is taking shape quite nicely. I really like that tree. Cheers!
Can I have this tree ?
Please tell me it lived. I just hacked one up today to get it to fit in a bonsai pot haha.
It's doing great! These are strong little plants. I'll post an update video once it's spring push is done and I can do some trimming on it. :)
I hope they take 🤞
Thanks Alex! Me too - this is my first time attempting a thread graft.
Nice video! I love aphex twin!!
Thanks NB!
Nice job! They look great so far! Funny how they are all different in their own way... I could watch this at double speed on a loop all afternoon!
Thanks jkleczewski! In a few weeks I'll re-wire the ones I wired last fall - they new extensions on them needs wire asap! Will get another video posted soon :)
I'd call that a success, most did quite well!
Very nice Gert!
Thanks Arkefthos!
Wow, so it DOES work! Looks way better than mine, I’ll tell you that! Do me a favor and make your font a little bigger in the videos. My old eyes aren’t what they used to be!
Thank you! You're right - I need to figure out how to do this in iMovie. I feel like the options are limited.
p.s. when's the next BBI drop?
@@GertsBonsaiLog I use iMovie too! I think there’s just a font size thing when you’re editing the title, but the ability to edit varies based in the title style you choose. New videos coming this spring, finally!
Well done! Thank you for sharing :) By the way, your style is awesome.😉
Thanks Naturegeist :)
Wow! Congratulations 100% success on your cuttings. What did you use for the soil and how long did where they in the soil before you repot them?
Thanks Cesar! These were in two different soils. The first was just lava and pumice - the second was in 100% pumice both soils seemed to do well. I've found over the years that if you can cut an old 1 gallon can down to about 3 inches and then stuff the cuttings in together tightly it works really well. I cut these from the mother plant in May 2022 - so they were in these containers for just about 7 months. It was actually included in this video if you want to see the process ruclips.net/video/oOcq_iVptNg/видео.html
Noice
Ótimo bonsai👍👍
Noice!
Sooper Noice!
Hermosos minibonsai. Quisiera hacer algo similar con un liquidambar.
Wow, went from awesome to spectacular. Well done.
Thanks BBI!
An absolute gem of a tree. Keep crushing it bro.
🙏
Nice!!!
Muchas gracias por compartir. Muy interesante el cambio.
Material bonsai yang cantik sobat👍👍👍
Did you make those pots your self? I have a make clay training pots for my tree's as well.. I make them look like pond baskets lol.. well they look a lot nicer then pond baskets.. but your pots look like almost wooden training boxes really cool.. I always like the square pots.. and interesting way you wired your trees together.. I may wire my sweetgum seedlings similar thanks for the idea!
Thanks Marcus. Yeah these are some of the first pots I made myself. Each time I make more I feel I get better!
Have you ever heard that sweetgum tree should be re-potted in full leaf? I Collected one this summer and it didn't miss a beat.. it stopped growing for two weeks then kicked back up.. I heard this after my collection experience btw so I'm not completely sure
Ah I'm not sure I've heard that before but I would be curious. These are thirsty trees in my experience.
It's going to be all about those adventitious buds soon. Nice movement
Hoping for some good ones! Going to wire and decide if I want to keep that center branch this fall.
Nice.
Gracias.
Precioso, gracias.
so cool
hello bonsai friend
amazing bonsai.. thanks for the information sharing.. i hope get many bonsai inspiration from you.. i love make bonsai too especially japanese kemuning bonsai,, maybe you have this bonsai, please give me suggestions to make over my bonsai..🥹 i justfollpw you to wait your next sharing..keep up spirit 👍
Looking good! Most of these should root my friend. Do you know where to keep the cuttings? Keep Growing Bonsai!
Wow, lots of material there…let’s hope for some cuttings!
Fingers crossed. I opted to not use rooting hormone this time. Luckily I think most of the cuttings from my cutting video have taken, so trying without this time.
