I work at the orient bonsai nursery in Melbourne Australia, and I always only recommend my customers and students to watch your channel as I think your knowledge and the way you trim bonsai is the right way the same way I was taught I hope to visit your nursery one day and see for myself your knowledge and work
Hi Peter, I have a Ficus tree that has not been pruned since we moved to the new house. This video is going to helped me bit the bullet and seriously pruned the tree. It’s about six feet tall. I just hope I have enough bullets. Thanks for the vlog. 🙏🙏🙏
Wow Peter you make it look so easy. You definitely know what you are doing. Thank you so much for all you videos. All I know is from you. Thank you so much.
I found in the grocery store, a little ficus shoved in too deep a pot and unpruned. Well at least recent to my purchase. When I took it out of it's poor little pot I found a treasure. I have been following for a while so I pulled the soil back from the trunk and upper roots, revealing what looks very much like the legs of a Rubinesque woman. Trimming the lowest tiny branches and some larger ones I revealed her plump and shapely trunk. I continued to trim off a new bottom to the ball of leaves that was the top. Up raised arms and what can pass for a head, rewarded my tentative efforts. I named her Gaia and she holds a place of honor in my living room. I hope you enjoy this rags to riches story of a humble marketplace Ficus❣
CRICKY Mr Peter Chann many thanks for sharing your knowledge and tips on growing, creating, and Cairing for bonsai. Keep the dream alive son Aussie Aussie Aussie GDAY MATE from brisbane Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
hay. im from Australia and id love to see you try a aussie paperbark tree only issue if i fear it will not be ok with cold weather but if u look online they are a beautiful bonsai some of the best id say
I’m having a real issue trying to get my ficus to grow with any vigour. As I understand it they like lots of light so I positioned it on my kitchen windowsill- south facing window. However it doesn’t seem to like the intense heat on the rare occasion we get sun here in North East England 😅 It’s a battle between not watering it too much but stopping the leaves from getting baked. Unfortunately I don’t have a humid greenhouse
Can stay outdoors in the summer. If you do it gradually so the leaves can get used to sunlight (luminous shade, dappled shade, then morning sun, then longer exposure - this process over the course of few weeks) you can also keep it in the sun. It’s a tree after all, not a plant that grows in shade. All houseplants in general benefit from a vacation outdoors when and where it’s possible. Do you feed it regularly? It’s important for a vigorous and healthy growth. Also some people place the pot on a tray with gravel and water. The evaporation creates a humid microclimate that benefits the tree. In ideal conditions it can even start producing aerial roots. Good luck! 👍.
@@pansepot1490 might try the gravel tray. Wasn’t sure about outside though. With the poor British summer we’ve been having day temps of around 15-18 and night sometimes down to 8- hardly tropical
Hi Peter do you prune all the Ficus or have you trained your staff to be proficient in pruning, do you ever get a cramp by doing so much pruning work, I know at my age 82 I do get hand cramps occasionally and I know you are of a similar age. Thank you Peter.
Ive had my ficus for a few years now. Ive been putting it outside in the summer, in a very sheltered spot and watering daily. Its looking much better but still no aerial roots. Its so frustrating
Try putting your ficus in more sun. (Mine handle a few hours of full sun or more a day.) As far as aerial roots, try letting your ficus grow lots of foliage, mine personally grow them while in a vigorous state of growth, also with humidity.
I’ve been pruning my 4 indoor ficus Bonsai trees this week! I was waiting for a new video thank you so much for your contribution and life’s work Herons,
Why do I never see Oak bonsai? Is it because they have a tap root? These Ficus are invasive weeds where I live. I have a hedge of them all around my property and the trunks are like 6" diameter.

Great video, Beautiful trees. Thanks Peter and the team.
You manage to keep you ficus so healthy in England, here they grow so effortlessly that we don’t bother except watering!
it is nice when you get closer up to video, so we can see the details of what Peter is doing Thank-you for the closer ups! Blessings to all.
Lovely green ficus. Can't wait to see them in person shortly.

Are these ficus benjamina?
No - they are Retusa

We have some nice Oak bonsai- No problem.
