- I almost threw these Ficus cuttings on the compost heap, but instead I decided to make some into tiny bonsai.

Watching bonsai pruning always feels like watching a parody. Some unfamiliar with bonsai would surely think it was a comedy sketch. Absolutely hilarious when you finish pruning g and proudly present a stump. 🤣😂
Thanks for this video. Such fun to see what can happen with the little pots and trees. You have inspired me! I have about 15 tiny pots and will get them filled over time, maybe this winter, certainly spring. I also lucked into a triangular shaped stand that holds all the pots. I have it in my small garage that my grandson euphemistically calls my "bonsai studio." I get so many great ideas from your trail blazing efforts with the tiny ones! Thanks.....
Superb root work. I like these cool little mini in a cool little pot. Jay is the man with a super cool little pot. That stand for the mini's also cool. Great work with the mini's!
I wish that I had the courage to reduce the roots that far. It never fails to amaze me that no matter how far you cut the roots back the tree still survives. An excellent video Nigel.
I love the small trees it’s like watching a baby grow thanks for the video

Please auction off your cuttings. You can get people to help. I have been saying this for years.
We also got cold last night. 28F/-1C. Snowed today on Halloween. Happy Halloween Nigel.
Beautiful work , I tried small size in India they got cooked in 48 digree celcius in summers .
Hi Nigel. I have a little mame pot with nothing in it and some Chilean Guava cuttings that are growing well, so as soon as I'd finished watching this video I went out and potted up one of my Chilean Guava into the mame pot. It has a lovely little radial root system. It's mid Spring here in Victoria, Australia. I had to laugh though. As soon as you brought out those beautiful mame pots for the ficus I thought "There's no way he's giving those away!"
Ficus grow from cuttings? 😮
* Puts scissors in pocket and goes to local plant shop * 😂
Nice!
It doesn't hurt to have a few small trees like that. In Japan, they have names assigned not just to style but also size. the smallest size is Mame. These are trees that measure no more then 15cm tall.
Those tiny bonsais have huge appeal. Well done Nigel. Still haven’t had a first snow in PG, but below zero temperatures. Happy November.
Oh Nigel! People would pay for what you are throwing into the compost heap...I know I would...A Nigel Saunders pre-Bonsai...The two you kept turned out really nice though...Wrapped in a wet paper towel, placed in a zip lock freezer bag and stuffed into a $10 mail envelope!!! I'm going to have nightmares...
Yes, yes, yes! I love tiny bonsai, so happy with this "series". It's hard to make small trees, but really fun!
love your channel Nigel!
so happy to see your mini bonsai work! makes it affordable space and cost-wise too! thanks Nigel!
Good luck happy new year 2024 kupchak show you jobs Amazing natural getting people love natural 🎉
Ottimo video come sempre complimenti, una curiosita' se mi permetti, ho visto il tuo bel ficus con radici aeree ma la traduzione in italiano lo chiama ficus natale che quasi sicuramente non e' il vero nome, potresti gentilmente dire come si chiama, sarei molto interessato a questo albero per un mio paesaggio ispirandomi al tuo irragiungibile ma non riesco a trovarlo, grazie per l'attenzione.
Love those tiny pots!!
Half of the Canadian bonsai videos use the term: sofiemade 😁
Adorable! I'm so inspired.
pls update on these ficus :D
Should have taped them all together to fuse them!
Hahaha, That Natal Ficus mesh pot was a “Takeout” Ramen bowl that I used a soldering iron to poke holes in.
Nice Derrick, it sure did the trick!!!
Thank you Nigel, so inspiring!
I started a few mame myself, but my cuttings are still way thinner than yours!
My Chinese Elms (3 years old cuttings) are getting there and I’m sure next spring I’ll have the cutest one!
I wonder if any of 30+ benjamina cuttings I took this year will be ready for next year!
Thank you, your work is truly touching! 🙏
Those succulents break all the "rules"!
Mine get watered with everything else, and do fine.
I even have a portulacaria that has fallen over into a catchment bucket...and still grows.
7am in my part of the world, great addition to morning coffee!!!☕🌳
Btw, why not give those spare trees to the neighbours? We put fruits, plants and stuff like that in boxes by the sidewalk to be taken.
I’ve been developing Mama bonsai for a little over a year now and they are quickly becoming some of my favorite trees to work on. I really like the one you planted in the blue pot👍
I wondered who the lucky person will be that gets these small Bonsai as give-away presents, and it was you in the end! Nice 🌳
Que maravilla. Pasa usted de hacer arte con los paisajes a hacer “milagros” con las raíces. Muchas gracias y felicidades por su excelente trabajo.
Gotta Love the Little Ones!
Wow! Seems waaaay to much on those roots, yet you always have success. Your a brave man. Lol
This vid really increased my admiration for the mini bonsai! :)
What's smaller than mame?
Shito
What's smaller than Shito?
@TheBonsaiZone No idea 😂
All of this is right for your small stand.👌💐🇮🇳👍
I love tiny bonsai trees. I don’t know why.
I’m always surprised at how much you cut back. It gives me confidence to cut back more.
Thanks for the sand trick. I enjoy your videos thank you.
You are so welcome!
👍👌👌
How often should trees like these be watered?
the 2nd pot lookes like a tigers Bark.
Love those mini ficus in the tiny pots!
Turn on than me by Tyga by Franco
Send them to me tiger, ficus
OooOOOooo! Those littles will be so cute!
How do you feed and water the tiny trees? How often?
I water them with a mister about 4 times a day!

@@TheBonsaiZone thank you! wow thats labour intensive! Do you Use a liquid fertiliser or small pellets?
What a great solution using the sand on the tinies. I’m going to try that.
Have fun!
Awesome mini bonsai❤
Thanks!
Aw, thanks so much Kristin, you made my day!!!!!
Love you brother!
Beautiful!
Lovely!
Are they still alive?
Yes, they are doing really well!!
@@TheBonsaiZone I did similar operations for 2 of my cuttings but after few weeks leaf's turned brown and died. Could it be due to I did not place them on top of trey with sand?
They need good humidity and they can't dry out. I'd try putting a plastic bag around the tree after repotting and keep it in a bright place, but out of direct sunlight.@@munkhbilegsainbayar7592
