@@Valadi14 thanks so much! Hope you find the book useful!
Dave, I'm loving the book! It's good to have all the information there when I need it instead of scrolling through the videos...
@@Kristinytree Thanks so much! It makes me very happy to hear you're finding it useful! Have you tried using the QR codes for the different topics?
Excellent as always Dave. Glad I watched because i have kept my Chinese Privet outside for several years...they always seemed to take a long time to push out new growth! Perhaps I know why now :)
@@XaviersBonsaiRetreat thanks Xav! Yeah it's funny about the CP, I think there could be some misinformation out there. Mine was fine every winter until we had a few consecutive days of frosts. Since that year I just don't risk it outside. Of course the common privet is perfectly fine outside all year... maybe that's the source of the misinformation about the Chinese species.
Thank you for this intelligent and thoughtful look at tropical bonsai. I fuss so much with my Fukien Teas that I almost want to give up on them, but I will try a plastic bag for humidity purposes. This year I began experimenting with daily misting. And yes, good catch!
@@jameslangschied7900 thanks James - I really appreciate that.
One thing to watch out for with Fukien tea is that they seem to attract scale insects, just like the sageretia do. The specific issue with the Fukien tree is that under a plastic bag you might not see the scale until it has really infested the who plant and it starts losing leaves all over.
It might be worthwhile to spray a mild plant-friendly insecticide inside the bag every week or so, to get rid of any juvenile scale insects before they mature...
@@BlueSkyBonsai Thanks for the note. I will do this because I have had a bad infestation a few years ago and the plants suffered a bit.
Indoor bonsai. Thanks for another informative bonsai video. Yep, had Jades already. Both large and small leafed. Just recently have started working with an older Willow Leaf Ficus. Don’t have room to try the other varieties you show here. But like them. Recently acquired your new book. It is great.. Almost 1/4 of way through it.
@@jeffhurst4744 thanks so much Jeff. Yes I recently realised - maybe while I aas writing the book - that in nearly 5 years of bonsai videos I've only done one or two on indoor species and I didn't actually label those videos as indoor or tropical, so it was time for this one.
I'm so happy to hear you're enjoying the book - thanks for letting me know! Maybe when you finish it you might consider putting a review on Amazon? No problem if you prefer not though 👍
So nice to have som good videos on the sageretia! :)
@@MrCaliic glad you like it! True that not many sageretia videos out there, but I think it's an excellent species for small bonsai.
@@BlueSkyBonsai Very true! Got one this year. It's a broom style, but I'm still not sure which way to take it..
@@MrCaliic one of the grest things about bonssi... there's no rush!
Great knowledge drop yet again, Dave. Diggin the whiteboards! Followed your technique with an overgrown hibiscus, waiting for new growth to show, then I can go down there and attack the roots.
The love to hate yet hate to love relationship is real with the fukien Carmona Retusa, brother.
@@baldyeti Thanks Billy! Actually I really thought the fukien tree would have died by now, but there it is!
I'll be really interested to hear your results with the hibiscus. I have not cultivated a hibiscus but there's no reason to believe it would be any issue. After repotting, to be really safe you could use the high humidity plastic bag for a few days. I do that on almost all my non-deciduous repots nowadays.
@@BlueSkyBonsai good call, it’ll go in the grow tent for the rest of winter, stays between 50-70% humidity in there. Even my olives dig it
Nice video! On your PA, do you keep it under grow lights in the winter? Do you have a favorite grow light that you use? How much water does it like in the winter? Thanks much!
@@HoundStuffThanks! I don't keep the PA under grow lights, it's in a south-facing window and it gets enough light here in Madrid. I only use the grow lamps for recovering trees, and cuttings & seedlings. I bought some flexible stalk over-head grow lamps from Amazon about 10 years ago so I can't tell you the brand. It has three flexible stalks so it's easy to position with an even light over the humidity tent or propagators.
@@BlueSkyBonsai Thank you!
Great video, i have seen conflicting comments for how hardy the Chinese privet is. In your experience they aren't frost hardy?? Thanks 😊
@@ericmoore5394 thanks! I always thought they were fully suited to all year outdoors, just like the common privets I have in the garden... until winter 2020 we had a week of icy weather (quite uncommon here) and the Chinese Privet looked completely dead. I took the approach of "don't give up ", put it in a humidity tent and it finally started budding after 5 or 6 months. So, hey it survived, but lost its former shape. Since then, I don't risk it, it comes indoors every winter.
@@BlueSkyBonsai Thanks for the reply, they don't look like an indoor tree if that makes sense. I'm in the south of Ireland so we tend to stay above 0C but can get the odd frost and every few years a cold winter. I will bring it in. Thanks again for your experience with it 👍
First!!
@@edinborogh you were quick off the mark!
Thanks Dave, this is an awesome video.
