i worked growing Rosemary and other herbs commercially for abut 7 years, there are good and bad varieties for ones that grow well, or ones that rot suddenly if they feel like it. Gorizia has bigger leaves, that you might not want to Bonsai but might be easier to keep alive. Arp is another one that is usually cold hardy if thats a problem in your area. Spice Islands is one that has a lot of mildew and mold issues in humid climates
I live in finland and keep trying to grow rosemary but it keeps dying. Its cold and humid here which is maybe a bad combination. Do you think I should just grow one indoors?
Wow, beautiful! My dad had beautiful bonsai’s & I have always loved them. Found you by accident & just subscribed. I have been wanting to do a grove of maples & this year had about 5 seedlings that came up from my red maple so I might give it a try. After seeing your rosemary I can’t wait to try that as well. Great job of explaining, you are a good teacher.
Spewing roots and soil in every direction. that sums up repotting bonsai perfectly :) Brilliant video Darren and a great reminder on alternative methods of securing in a tree. let's hope all of this care and thought works in the end. Cheers, Xav.
This is a lovely tree, never seen a rosemary like it, every time I go to the super market I buy one of the growing rosemary kitchen herb pots and pot them in perlite and coco after wiring them in twists. I want dozens to have all over to play with when I’m bored … thanks for all your knowledge on the subject it helps so much
The odd thing about rosemary bonsai not surviving repotting well is that they are one of the easiest plants to strike from cuttings. I've grown them simply by inserting a fresh cutting into sandy soil that had at least some soil moisture.
It would be really beneficial having a list in the description of the different products you use including the type of genus of plant you are currently working on.
I learned so much from Mirai. I'm glad to see their influence. Thank you for documenting your work Darren. I have learned a ton from you. Thank you for the inspiration.
This is absolutely beautiful,i love the finishing. Rosemary is such a beautiful smelling herb. I have only just found your channel. I have subscribed. I have always enjoyed looking at bonsai tree's,and had an intrest in them. Maybe it's time to start learning about them. They are stunning & there is something calming about them. Thankyou for sharing your art with us,it's genuinely beautiful. Have a blessed & beautiful day & Take care 💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
I can’t help but feel the notion of rosemary being difficult would be in cold places maybe cause of the harsh change in seasons for a Mediterranean plant. I’ve forgotten (in a warmer climate) about sprigs of rosemary in a jar before and found a jar of roots. If you have somewhere warm to keep it it probs won’t be phased if you’re harsh on the roots.
There are some Rosemarys that can survive up to -5 or -10 Celsius (Arp, Hill Hardy, Veittschochgeim and Blue Winter). But mine (foxtail) survived -15 this year, although I guess it was a lot warmer on my balcony.. I remommend you try to make them survive or just have it at home - it can survive the winter.
Midsummer, when rosemary and olive trees can supposedly handle repotting, I lost a gnarly rosemary 3 years old from cutting. I was even quite careful with the roots, so dunno why the dieback, and just when I thought I could make do with the rest, It just kept getting weaker and I got rid of it. I have a few more equally interesting rosemary I haven't messed with yet, but, since you seem to think early autumn is OK, I may just try again now. I've repotted in winter and had mixed results.
Consider this an experiment, not gospel! I think building up the plants strength is just as - if not more - important. I also think the window has closed with cooling temps and the recent equinox… but now I’m just guessing
Useful info Darren, and just in time as I was going to pot on the 2 small ones I have. I delayed it because they have decided to have a second flush of flowers but you've given me something to think about now.
It's possibly getting a little late, and will definitely need to stay above freezing if you do. From what I've seen they start growing roots very early, so when we come along in spring and repot them, we cut off all the growth and set them back. In all honesty we just don't know the ideal time to repot them. Harry Harrington swears by Summer. I prefer early autumn when it's less hot. So far anyway!!
Beautiful, yes I’ve been doing thyme well, and the little leaves look perfect, but just got some rosemary cuttings, why not try,,,🌲🌲🌲 -plus clippings for tea or cooking, huge bonus with herbs☕️☕️☕️
nice rosemany. i have killed a few in the years past lol. the rosemary i have now is just over 3 years old. havent re potted yet. this video came out just in time lol thanks Gro bonsai!
Oh im so "lucky" all my rosemary are mame or shohin that got to big so i only ever potted up never down so this info hits nicely befor i killed any of them
Last year I only got 1 rosemary that germinated. This year I have 50. One I am leaving to grow however it wants and the others are used as herbs. Never seen a bonsai done before! temped to try lol
It’s on the todo list, but I’m not convinced autumn repotting is it. Annoyingly I got caught out by an early freeze that year, so it lost branches, but I can’t tell if it was the cold, the repot, or both
This is the only one I have experimented with, after all the advice that they are difficult. So this one is a working experiment! I know that Thyme can be magnificent, but again, tough to keep happy. There's another I've seen used but I can't remember which. Possibly Sage but I could be wrong. I remember being surprised when I found out what it was.
Thank you for sharing, that’s a very informative and enjoyable video. Can I ask if there’s a good or bad sign when my Rosemary is full of flowers at this time again? It’s actually got more flowers than leaves.
To be honest I don't know. Mine flowers in Spring. I do know that plants can flower unseasonably when they are stressed - so it might be a bad sign. But it could also be so strong and full of energy that it decided to flower again. Are there any other clues? Slow growth or dropping leaves? Pests such as aphids? If it isn't growing vigorously I'd err on the side of caution and assume stress.
I have a small, basketball size bush potted in a 1 gallon bucket.... I'm getting the feeling that I should bonsailize it now.... Can I repot an indoor rosemary any time of year? I noticed that my year old cutting from bush suddenly started exploding with root activity in October! Random!
If you are putting it in a larger pot I think any time is fine. It you’re doing any root pruning I think late summer to mid fall is the ideal window. But honestly, I don’t know for sure
Occasionally, although it's my wife that uses them as I am a terrible cook. Pots pans and utensils everywhere even though I was only poaching an egg - that kind of thing
Noice! Next spring I'll be reporting mine, which are in (I hope) in a nice condition. I'm going to winter them outside for another year because it looks like they like it better. I have 3 in a pot and almost killed one of them - but it survived! Now they are in their 3rd bloom season this year (after moving with them). My "bon" will be a lot bigger becouse I'm giving up on being true bonsai maker and I want hedge size trees.
The chopstick doesn’t do excessive damage, some minor bark. The issue with water is control, a lot harder to keep a portion of soil intact, and harder to mesh the new soil with the existing if it’s wet and ‘sticky’. Great if bare-rooting though
@@grobonsai Oh, okay, thanks! I understand. I am planing to start making bonsais myself so now I know not to do this, but what is bare root planting good for then if it's nessesary to leave a portion of the soil intact ? When would I want to bare root plant my bonsai?
¡Hello! I hope you have a great day, I just finished watching the video of the rosemary and the specimen is quite beautiful and is in perfect condition, many congratulations for it. I already subscribed to your channel, I'm just getting started in this bonsai thing and this is to start my first Bonsai specimens (well, let's say Pre Bonsai), I live in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico, I really hope to follow your footsteps as well as be able to see more videos on your channel. ¡Take care!😃🌳
@@grobonsai it is cooler and we are getting some rain now, which is very much needed. Bonsai are doing ok, my little collection has made it through the hot summer.
I haven't tried, but I suspect they would be challenging, due to the lower humidity we generally have indoors. They also love sun, so would suffer without supplemental light. Finally, they do need dormancy, so would need a period of cool temps over winter.
@@grobonsai i keep most of my expensive trees in the garage over winter. But my hail Mary cuts on the roots must have been the reason of my non success with rosemary
I cut the shit out of my Rosemary's roots and they came back. Then I didn't water them well (i forgot) through the summer and they bounced back after dying back lol
yes you are right my friend and I was your video and I am subscribe RUclips channel thanks for explain me thank you so much I am from pakistan and I love Bonsai work 😊🌳
@@grobonsai I did pruning and repotted into better soil but I don’t think my shears where sanitized or maybe the soil and I moved it into a space with very stagnant air. Now I have to grow one from seed because I was so emotionally attacked because she was a cutting from the rose bush I had in my childhood home before we moved cities and that house got tiene down (bush included) and I can’t just replace her so I have to grow from seed 😭 but I have learned a lot from you about when to prune that hopefully she will be glorious
@@grobonsai may you tell me what problems are in that method? after i watched few bonsai herb videos i have to tell that your "child" is very special and beautifull one, can be seen how much effort youve given.. Amazing, simply amazing..
Of course! It is harder to control how much soil is removed, which disturbs the bacteria and fungi that are beneficial to the plant. By removing too much soil the plant becomes less stable. If washing some of the soil out but not all, the remaining soil becomes very wet it is more difficult to work new soil in because it becomes sticky. Washing the soil off is good when working with robust species, very healthy trees, and those that don't rely on the microorganisms. Or when there is an emergency in the roots and the risk caused by removing all the soil is less than the risk of keeping soil because the plant may die regardless. hope that made sense
In most cases a before and after picture is adequate enough,, if you then have a beginner who questions how you achieved those results they can continue to watch the rest of your video, giving you a better idea of your target ordinance.....BE MORE EFFICIENT......REAL TALK...
Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback. I will be experimenting with the intro so will take your request on board. Would it help if I (remembered to!) add chapters to make skipping to the money shot easier?

Great suggestion- thanks 🙏 the species is rosemary, former botanical name Rosmarinus officinalis, now Salvia rosmarinus

That's awesome! Where are you located if you don't mind me asking?
@@grobonsai I’m in Southampton (England) 😇
nice rosemany. i have killed a few in the years past lol. the rosemary i have now is just over 3 years old. havent re potted yet. this video came out just in time lol thanks Gro bonsai!
Thanks Mike, good luck with yours
Good explanation on what you did with the roots and I realize I’ve made a mistake with one of my trees and now I gotta go fix that!!!! Thanks man 🇨🇦
Don’t dig it up if it’s repotted recently! Thanks for stopping by 👋
Was wondering if it was possible to do certain herbs, Might gIve Rosemary a try
Worth a try, they look great, as long as you go slow and don't use a tiny pot. Don't expect longevity to avoid disappointment
I hear thyme makes a good bonsai as well
It's interesting to see someone grew herbs into bonsai like,despite there's many black roots but suprisingly the plants still looks good
I didn’t see any black roots, woody ones mainly. Maybe I missed it - I was rushing to get it filmed and planted
I thought it was only mine that dropped dead by just looking at them!! Will be trying all suggestions in the clip.
Hopefully all the tricks work because that rosemary trunk is amazing!!!!
Wow absolutely gorgeous! Thank you.
I can't get regular rosemary to grow I'm my garden... l might try this. Thank you for this post.
Thanks for watching! They are certainly not easy in pots - bonsai pots that is!
Oh im so "lucky" all my rosemary are mame or shohin that got to big so i only ever potted up never down so this info hits nicely befor i killed any of them
Great job. Good luck 🎉❤️🇨🇦
Keep us updated on the tree.
Will do! I'll update in Spring/Summer 2023 if all is well. If it doesn't make it, I'll post ASAP
Great video Darren!
It looks great Darren. definitely wise to cautious with it. :)
Thanks Ian 👍

They aren’t easy as bonsai, but fun
I'm planning to begin working on a coleus bonsai.
that's looking great now. Can't wait for the 2023 restyle
Thanks, me too (fingers crossed it gets that far)
Is there a follow up video for this one? I’m very curious how it did after the repot?
It’s on the todo list, but I’m not convinced autumn repotting is it. Annoyingly I got caught out by an early freeze that year, so it lost branches, but I can’t tell if it was the cold, the repot, or both
Did you buy this plant or grow it yourself? Any idea how old it is? Thanks! 😊
It was in the garden when we moved to this house, we lived here 7 years so it could be >15 years, but that’s a wild guess
What was the soil you've used and I'd it specific for the rosemary or general bonsai, cheers
Great work as always ✌🏼
Maybe this would be a good opportunity to use a garden hose to wash the soil off.
I just lost my best rosemary due to a sprinkler malfunction. My rosemaries are the thirstiest trees I have, weirdly.
Sorry to hear that, friend
Beautiful!!
Very cool.
Do you have any other herb bonsai or have you experimented with any others?
This is the only one I have experimented with, after all the advice that they are difficult. So this one is a working experiment! I know that Thyme can be magnificent, but again, tough to keep happy.

How do you start a rosemary like this
As a non bonsai grower that didn’t look gentle at all, but I’ll take your word for it!
There’s a trade off between preservation and exposure
Just found out that rosemary trees are good bonsai trees. Thanks!
I can't wait to see this progress
I'll definitely post updates, good or... not so good!
Lovely!
Great job on that one mate. 👏
Thanks mate
What if you just used water to clean the roots before repoting? That way you dont hawe to destroy any roots with chopstick, true?
The chopstick doesn’t do excessive damage, some minor bark. The issue with water is control, a lot harder to keep a portion of soil intact, and harder to mesh the new soil with the existing if it’s wet and ‘sticky’. Great if bare-rooting though

Hey nice to hear from you out in Mexico - wow! Hope your trees are doing great!
Why no soil at all? I thought you would have mixed pumice with a soil.
Soil isn’t suitable for long term cultivation in a shallow container, too much water retention, not enough oxygen space
Stupid question but isn't that pot too small for the amount of roots?
It depends what the goal is. It’s plenty of room for growth and good health, but it’s not enough room to grow it into a big bush
Thanks 👍
Update pls!
Fun to see this tree again, now with lots of leaves and shoots. I really hope it will be fine. Greetings from a cold Norway 😀

@@grobonsai it is cooler and we are getting some rain now, which is very much needed. Bonsai are doing ok, my little collection has made it through the hot summer.
Can Rosemary be kept indoors?
I haven't tried, but I suspect they would be challenging, due to the lower humidity we generally have indoors. They also love sun, so would suffer without supplemental light. Finally, they do need dormancy, so would need a period of cool temps over winter.
I could never grow a bonsai rosemary for the simple reason that I use too much rosemary in the kitchen, and the tree would disappear
Great Job Darren! Ahh thats why all my rosemary died 🤣 wow how much better it looks just getting into to that plastic training pot. Wow
