By far the best bonsai process videos out there. Concise, well delivered, and perfectly pertinent without all the nonsense blabber.
KEEP THEM COMING!!
thank you so much for this video. my mother got a juniper bonsai as a christmas gift and has handed the care over to me. i've found your video super helpful and easy to follow as someone with no bonsai experience. thanks again from nz!
How’s this video not got more likes? Brilliant coverage of the juniper’s features and its growth preferences. As a 22 year old yamadori beginner, this helps loads for settling my bonsai in
This channel deserves 100k more subs atleast.
what if you live in alberta and you don’t want it outside when it’s lower then -10 and down to -40 what is the best in that case
Excellent post! Very high quality video and audio. Not to mention the masterclass information. Your videos just keep getting better and better. Thanks for all of your hard work and dedication to this channel.
The tree's are looking very healthy Josh, great video with lots if good information.
Nicely done!! Thanks
Super cool that you remade this! You’re awesome man keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Lots of good information!
Great video, enjoyed it.
Awesome video! Excellent information and detail too!
Awesome!
Thank you for your sharing of knowledge!! Big up!!🤜🤛
Man that juniper is sweet. I just bought my first one from home depot so this was some great info to help me out.
What an awesome video!!! Sooo much knowledge😊
Aussie Dave here, very well presented 😊. And very informative 👍✔️
Josh san, Your teaching videos are the best.! ciao, John
This is the best video. So much information. Thank you.
Very very nice Video👍🏻 The best in depth bonsai spieces explanation I've seen.
Excellent, excellent video and good quality. Congrats. I'm a new subscriber and I look forward to more videos from you.
Merci beaucoup, très intéressant, et très bien expliqué 👍🏻
I was kind of hoping you would explain ways of how we can tell if the soil is actuallly dry or not… The top often feels bone dry, but I get anxious because I have no way of telling how much moisture is actually left under that dry top layer/the bottom…
Either way I absolutely love your videos, you are the biggest reason why I took the leap of starting bonsai. So thank you. These video’s have by far been the biggest help in my journey. It’s really difficult to find proper bonsai content that contains all the information plain and clear. You have provided me with just that
you can dig your finger down into the soil to see how deep the moisture is, if you have a well draining soil it should be fairly uniform the whole way through, if you have a dense soil that doesn't drain too well then the bottom may still be wet and it will be a fine balance of keeping the top moist but not having the bottom too wet. you can see the importance of a good mix.
@@BonsaiEn I do, thanks a lot for the response. Momentarily it’s in a pretty dense soil because that’s how I received it from the nursery. Since it is summer I do not plan to repot. I know some repot in the fall, but I want to wait till spring considering the climate here. Would putting some bark or moss on top help with keeping the top moist or will this only stimulate rot and fungus?
A tool that I have found has been really helpful and useful to my gardening is a soil moisture meter . I found mine at a Walmart but I’m sure they’re widely available online or in a local nursery.
I was the 1000th like :)
Excellent video. So informative and explained in a way I can understand. I have been struggling with some nursery junipers (old pot is filled with roots there doesn't seem to be any soil left) I found and a couple of landscape junipers that ended up dying. I would love some guidance on how to start them on their journey without killing them.
Thank you, just subscribed
Thanx for your information about how to care for juniperus Bonsai.
Greeting one hobby Bonsai From Indonesia.
I am appretiate for your activity Sir. 12:32
Great information. Just learning and getting into the bonsai experience
Well welcome aboard! let the addiction begin.
Another brilliant video. Have also been enjoying your podcasts, are you planning on releasing any more podcast content?
Well delivered. I was just wondering about a place in bonsai for pearlite. Thanks for mentioning
🎉this is amazing stuff . I will say what I’m getting from it is probably not what most enthusiast would say I’m learning anything from this but I will prove that these trees can be safe inside ✌🏼 but not a beginner with a tree next to a window inside . I’m talking about a zoo type environment just for the tree to grow and love ! Don’t hate just believe
Nuevo subcriptor. Bellisimos ejemplares!!!. Soy de Argentina, tengo un junipero precumbes nana y estoy a punto de transplantarlo. Ya prepare mi mezcla de sustrato, pregunta: vi que algunos pones a la mezcla carbon vegetal ¿sirve?.
Desde ya muchas gracias🙏
Would a juniper bonsai do well on the lower southernmost Texas mc Allen tx where weather changes through the day and weeks its never cold for a long time its always basically summer all year around
A juniper would love that if you can keep up with the watering.
Hii, do you have any recommendations concerning the roots of a juniper bonsai? do juniper roots need trimming?
Could someone please answer if you see this, in the winter could I move it inside right outside a window, would that be as effective as a garage when it gets too cold?
Is Sargentii different from the shimpaku and squamata?
Awesome video. Do you water during the winter? I live somewhere with very harsh winters.
I do water during the winter but we have very different winters. as mentioned in the video watch and react for your particular environment and situation. If there is moisture still in the soil then you don't need to water, do your checks closer to midday or in the afternoon so you don't mistake morning dew for moisture in the soil.
I have a pruning question. i actually just purchased my first bonsai today, and not really planning on doing anything other than watering for a month or so... but, i would like to know if standard garden shears can be used in place of specialized bonsai cutters for the pruning stages? i will also say that the one i have is a juniper that, for now, will be living directly next to my south-facing window since my local climate is currently over 100°F and i don't want to burn the tree. I live in Texas if that gives you a better idea for that.
Hi, I would recommend not having the tree inside even if it is hot, I'm in Australia and my junipers sit out in that heat all summer on black bench tops. If your worried you won't be able to keep up with watering move it to a slightly shaded position. Keeping it inside won't do it any good, the window will filter out the UV light it needs to photosynthesise.
Secondly with pruning, chances are you won't be able to fit the regular pruning shears in-between the needles to cut the actual branch and you'll end up cutting through the needles as well which will cause when to brown and die back, bonsai scissors are specifically designed with very fine blades to get in and cut with precision.
👍👌👌
Hey mate, Thought I'd just say that the white text in the thumbnail probably needs to be bolded to be more legible.
So it is safe to be outdoors in 90 degree weather? Online different places said it cannot exceed 85 or it would damage it.
It all comes down to the care and health of the tree. For a juniper that has a healthy root system and the proper watering and care 90f is mild compared to what mine go through. in summer here its not uncommon for them to be out in 107f without shade all day. I guess where ever you are reading 90f they are just playing it safe assuming who ever is reading it doesn't have their watering up too scratch.

Bran new to the Bonsai hobby, coming from the planted aquarium world. I'm super excited to get started. Randomly happened upon an expo at our local garden and got my first bonsai. Looking forward to doing a lot of research and learning the craft.
Our beginners course over at www.TheBonsaiDojo.com would be a fantastic start. Knowing the fundamentals of how bonsai works will put you ahead about 2 or 3 years which is about how long it takes before people finally learn those lessons.
Wow, thank you so much for the kindness and support. I'm looking forward to getting started on this hobby with my mom. She's always wanted one, so I bought her/us our first one yesterday. We named it Harold. @@BonsaiEn
When would you repot?
In spring as the weather begins to warm but before it gets too hot. Good after care is a major part of successful repotting.
When are we getting updates on your trees?
When ever I can get time. We just got 660 pots in from south Africa that all need to be uploaded to the webstore so we are flat out at the moment.
Any advice for winters that could go down to -23C? (-10 F)
Basement, garage, greenhouse. Anything to get the root ball some where out of the extreme cold. If you are putting your trees in a greenhouse sit them directly on the ground and surround the pot with mulch.
@@BonsaiEn Okay awesome, essentially just make sure it doesn’t frost over? As in, the actual temperature won’t affect it as much as it being covered in snow?
The foliage can handle a snow load no problem, it's preventing the roots from freezing that is the trick. In nature the roots are in the earth which is naturally insulated. In a Bonsai pot the roots can easily freeze as there is no insulation.
@@BonsaiEnInteresting! I’ll try to think of some ways to prevent that in the extreme cold we get in the winter. Thanks for helping out a rookie
What to do when our winters are harsh? Harsh as in -20 to -30 celcius at worst? I have no basement or garage as suggested in the video, and my balcony is a french balcony, so no room to speak of. My juniper is small and I just bought it.
It's going to be hard in that situation. It will be too harsh outside for it but the warmth of the house will confuse it. Your best bet though is to have it inside during the winter and get it back out as soon as the weather permits. If there is a room in your home that doesn't get as much heating put it in there.
@@BonsaiEn Thank you for such a quick response!
When is the best time to fertilize?
All year round, check your fertiliser to see how often you need to apply. you can skip winter if you like but you will need to fertilize the rest of the year.
You haven't covered lime sulphur sprays or copper sprays, when and why would you use these.
Those aren't so much juniper specific topics, lime sulphur sprays can be used both as a preventative spray over winter for fungal issues and pests and it's also great at treating spider mite. Copper sprays are a treatment for fungal infections. A major one for junipers would be blight.
Oh I got it!
Position: it depends.
Watering: it depends.
Soil: it depends.
Wintering: it depends.
Pruning: it depends.
Repotting: it depends.
Pot type/size: it depends.
Fertilizer: it depends.
Wiring: it depends.
See! It's easy.
Even though your trying to be smart you have actually learnt a valuable lesson here. Nothing in bonsai is just do it this way and it will work. Everything needs to be adjusted for specific environments and situations.
@BonsaiEn you spent 40 mins explaining how to deal with the different environmental zones around the world when dealing with this species, it's a great concise goto explainer for healthy juniper procumbens Nana bonsai.
Thank you.
still in my first year of bonsai, only have about 25, lol, i pruned some of my deciduous too early this spring, hope i haven't done them n e harm, n e advice would be appreciated, other than don't do it next year, lol,😂😂😂😂
one year of early pruning wont hurt, it becomes a problem when you do it year over year. This would cause the tree to become weaker and weaker each year rather then getting stronger and stronger.
@@BonsaiEn thank you so much for your reply, it was a bit of a random question and i wasn't really expecting a reply, glad you did, thanks for the reassurance, i won't do it again,🤔
