Hi all, Ursus here. Just wanted to first of all say thank you for all the kind words about my pots! Then take the opportunity to answer some questions regarding buying, website etc. I am quite new to all this, and that I won’t try to hide. I’ve been making pots for less than a year, don’t have my own kiln yet, and reaching out to Darren was my first attempt at showing my work to more people. So unfortunately the only platform I’m active on so far is my Instagram, and have yet to set up a website/store or something like that. If interest in my work moves in the right direction I’ll update accordingly of course, but for now I hope that people want to join my adventures in pottery the same way you follow Darren in his endeavors, at least to start with. When my trees goes to sleep for winter my pottery will increase, and I will keep on making pots, for myself, for fun, for learning. Some pots I will make for myself, but the rest will be available to buy, but as of now the way to do that is by comment and/or send me a PM on my Instagram when you see something you like. Again, thank you all whom have given me positive feedback and comments both here and on Instagram! ❤️ //🐻
@@TheBonsaiZone Hey Nigel :) I've tried to ask on your videos as well as others: What do you do with old soil when you're repotting? Especially if there was clay that has broken down quite a bit. I'm curious if people are throwing it all on the ground, reusing it, composting it or maybe it's more likely a combination of all of these depending on the situation.
I found this page on Snapchat.. & I am addicted now! Gardening has always been a dream, but there is so much that goes into it & it has always had me nervous. I love this page & find the videos so soothing. Thank you!!
Great presentation, Darren. That's a heftly treasure you shared with us, today. Do, please continue to share your beauties with us. Cheers, Dick from Vancouver.
The making of a fabulous tree, hope all goes well. You've given it the best chance to flourish. I have a couple of Hemlock seedlings about 25cm tall, a very long journey to look like that, Thanks for showing us, can't wait to see the progress. I’ve followed Ursus pottery! and will be buying some items from them. It's good to see new enterprise, and I wish them well.
Just followed them on insta and I’ve just started with bonsai and been out into the woods to find some small Scott’s pine and working on making my very first bonsai
Great work, as usual GroBro. Looks like you’ve resurrected it from almost certain death. Congrats on 40k subs. One of the best, most informative, channels. Keep growing. Thanks
I really enjoyed the video! The little text-comments that explained some things better were very helpful and it's great to watch you giving new hope to a dying tree. Thank you for making the effort ^^
I subscribed to Ursus pottery. Hemlock was a lot of work, great job. Looking forward to the ongoing updates. Congrats on the subscribers. You deserve it. Great content.
Brilliant video! Lovely tree and great to see it recover so well. Gorgeous pot as well. This guy has got some great taste and talent. Hopefully we can see more ceramics of their on your channel again soon! :) Been following you for ages and look forward to see the channel getting the growth it deserves. Also entered the giveaway. Peace
Loving the videos! I find they're a great tool for someone who is relatively new to bonsai like myself. The give away pot looks awesome and i have gave ursus a follow.
It never translate in these short videos how much time and effort it can take to do a repot, especially for a massive tree like this. Seems like you did an awesome job though. Also followed Ursus Pottery, some cool looking pots.
Luv that pot and tree combo. Had to watch this on the big tv to do it justice!!! Well done sir they are going to be amazing. I'm checking Ursus now probably pick up a pot or two while there. Take care
came for the plants, stayed for the cool accent lmao excited for the giveaway! congrats to the future lucky winner ❤️ so excited to see you grow (pun intended!)
Hello! I am fairly new to bonsai and its different styles and techniques. I like the variety of tools that you use and the way you used them. Could you perhaps make a video on the different type of tools you use in the future? That would be great!👍
Awesome tree Darren! I like the natural look of those dead branches, it really captures how these trees give up on their lower branches when they don't get enough light. As you further develop this tree, I hope you can maintain that aesthetic. I also have followed Ursus, its nice to hear about new bonsai potters.
Thanks Derek, I'll certainly be using some of those dead branches, maybe even all of them. I won't make any decisions though until it's healthy enough to style :) thanks again
I have followed Ursus pottery! Wish I could win😁great video, my friend. Excellent job is reductive for what you did. And I really enjoyed the video itself, not just your repotting
I like Tsuga, but so far I failed getting anything out of seeds, but I will keep trying. That giant of a Bonsai is a challenge and clearly not a one man job, but you do it alone, awesome and really well done. Thank you for sharing. Btw. it seems free, but we actually do pay with our data to be able to watch YT.
Thanks! I'll always make free content, I have no judgement :) Just had a few negative comments so felt the need to explain that I'm not trying to get rich
They "refurbished" your vid onthe insider. But it left me with questions. Your video is much better, its like they left the best bits of vid and info out😂
I've given Ursus Pottery a follow!! I started out with bonsai this year after a lot of loss in my life. Bonsai, and indeed your channel, have taught me so much and kept me going, seeing all the beautiful changes in the trees after giving them some TLC. I'd love to win the pot but I'm just glad that I now know a great pottery supplier ☺️

Love the Hemlock bonsai, that's a big repot, well done!!!!
Nigel you are every where 🤣
@@thenaturecreater8906 Hello, yes, I try and watch all the bonsai videos!

@@-ChrisD I give it to my wife to mix into her garden soil, it makes a really good soil for vegetables!
@@TheBonsaiZone A great idea indeed! I love it! Thanks for the reply :)
Removing the matted roots was SO satisfying to watch (nerve wracking for you I’m sure). Ursus is great! What beautiful stuff
One of the best bonsai channels. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Glad to find an independent potter !! I’ll be buying from them whether I win or not!
Agreed! They look great 👍
That was a really a potbound tree you got there. Beautiful craftsmanship on the pots ursus.
I found this page on Snapchat.. & I am addicted now! Gardening has always been a dream, but there is so much that goes into it & it has always had me nervous. I love this page & find the videos so soothing. Thank you!!
You had to do some heavy lifting with this one. :) Glad to see it's doing well and looking forward to seeing what you're going to do to it next.

That thing is a beast! Good job I could never be that patient for it to grow like that.
Just followed them on insta and I’ve just started with bonsai and been out into the woods to find some small Scott’s pine and working on making my very first bonsai
That's great Ted, have fun
Well Darren I think the trees already improved its health 100% looking great cheers from South Australia
Your old foliage is top notch. Small and soft. I certainly you will make a good bonsai of this tree.
Thanks!
Great work, as usual GroBro. Looks like you’ve resurrected it from almost certain death. Congrats on 40k subs. One of the best, most informative, channels. Keep growing. Thanks
I really think this is one of the best videos you've made yet, it's awesome to see the quality of your work and your videos improving, cheers!
Damn!!! I remember when your videos would cut off at the ending and now look at them 😂😉 With the new production style, this channel is gonna blow up!!
Now things are returning to kind-of normal, there's a bit more time to put the effort in. :D thanks for your support
I really enjoyed the video! The little text-comments that explained some things better were very helpful and it's great to watch you giving new hope to a dying tree. Thank you for making the effort ^^
Thanks so much! Glad it helps
Such a beautiful tree! Glad it is getting some well deserved recovery. Looking forward to seeing more of Urusus' work as well!
Thanks Lisa!
Waw! The tree is just huge! As huge as the work you're doing on it
I followed ursus pottery too, it's so exciting to see you work on these bonsais
My partner and I love the compassion you have for these bonsais! Your work is beyond fantastic!!!
offt that is a big boy!! he will be much happier now after that repot
I like how tall the Tree is and thanks for the Repot lesson
Nice save on that old and beautiful tree. I wouldn't work it for several years. Let it grow and feed it lots.
Thanks!
Followed Ursas pottery! Beautiful pots. Lovely to feature an independent creator.
Yes they are! Ursus have been blown away by the love shown for their work, thank you
Sweet mother of Meatball monster! So good work on the tree!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I subscribed to Ursus pottery. Hemlock was a lot of work, great job. Looking forward to the ongoing updates. Congrats on the subscribers. You deserve it. Great content.
Amazing work with the root system! Never saw this technique before.
Brilliant video! Lovely tree and great to see it recover so well. Gorgeous pot as well. This guy has got some great taste and talent. Hopefully we can see more ceramics of their on your channel again soon! :) Been following you for ages and look forward to see the channel getting the growth it deserves. Also entered the giveaway.

Simply beautiful repotting!
Loving the videos! I find they're a great tool for someone who is relatively new to bonsai like myself. The give away pot looks awesome and i have gave ursus a follow.
Great job! Thanks!
I use a sander (without a sanding pad)…. to vibrate all the soil in to the nooks. Works well. Surprising how much more soil can be added.
It never translate in these short videos how much time and effort it can take to do a repot, especially for a massive tree like this. Seems like you did an awesome job though. Also followed Ursus Pottery, some cool looking pots.
It's 4am and I'm watching bonsai restoration, god I love youtube
You will make it a beautiful tree I'm sure.
Great job on the repot.
Thanks mate!
Bet its been particularly difficult with the odd summer we've had in the UK this year! It must feel better now
Long time follower Darren, and now following Ursus pottery too 😉
Great job repotting this big tree 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Your videos are unlike so many other project videos. I enjoy the thoughtfulness the music inspires.
Nice work on re potting the Hemlock, well done Sir!
Thanks very much!
Wow I just finished the video now I really want a hemlock! The tree looks amazing even if it still needs some work.
Followed Ursus and they are on the right track with their designs.
Hi Darren, good work on the Hemlock. & Congrats on passing 50K subs!
Huge operation! I'd be really nervous to remove so many roots at a time... As usual, great video, Darren! Followed Ursus Pottery as well.
Luv that pot and tree combo. Had to watch this on the big tv to do it justice!!! Well done sir they are going to be amazing. I'm checking Ursus now probably pick up a pot or two while there. Take care
Excellent, thanks Trevor
I'm not on that particular social media platform, but I did enjoy watching that repot
Subscribed to Ursus. They look fantastic.
Love the hemlock.
happy to follow Ursus, designs look cool! thanks for sharing.
Super work - that is a large hemlock, great video great info all round detail and info thank you so much - thoroughly enjoyed!!
Thanks Scott

I love your videos! Very nice of you to support an up-and-coming bonsai potter. I followed Ursus Pottery.
I'm happy to have found your channel.
Followed Ursus, nice drum pot on there with shiny studs.
What I love is the filming and editing with soft music 🎶 soothing to watch 😎
Hello! I am fairly new to bonsai and its different styles and techniques. I like the variety of tools that you use and the way you used them. Could you perhaps make a video on the different type of tools you use in the future? That would be great!👍
Following ursus pottery. Am just starting out my bonsai journey, so this would be fantastic
You make great videos that is why we are all here ! 🙌 the pot give away is definitely a bonus 👌
Thanks! Very kind:)
Wow nice looking Hemlock keep up the good work with the videos cheers
Amazing work ! Well done !
I followed ursus pottery. Love all the videos that you are making...Keep them coming
Went ahead and followed Ursus! Hoping for a beautiful pot. :) Love you videos man, they sre really well made.
Just followed Ursus on Instagram! Love the pots and love your work
Looks promising and could work as christmas tree too :)
Following them :)
Awesome video as always!
Really great repot video. Great level of detail for talking through why you did everything.
Followed Ursus. They make some really beautiful stuff.
Thanks Adam 🙏
Great educational video 👌, Your Bonsai will definitely survive.
Well wishes from me 😁.
Ugh, you make me want to pick up bonsaing again. My collection died after moving to a very hot and dry area. Only a large ficus is left.
Awesome tree Darren! I like the natural look of those dead branches, it really captures how these trees give up on their lower branches when they don't get enough light. As you further develop this tree, I hope you can maintain that aesthetic. I also have followed Ursus, its nice to hear about new bonsai potters.
Thanks Derek, I'll certainly be using some of those dead branches, maybe even all of them. I won't make any decisions though until it's healthy enough to style :) thanks again
Nice work on that repot. Big trees can be challenging to do by yourself. Gave ursus a follow too!
A really impressive tree which hopefully comes back to full health and beauty after the repotting and root pruning. Nice video as always, Darren.
Thanks! 🙏
Love that repot. Followed Ursus on the gram!
The knife going along the edge of the pot to help it come out… bonsai brownies
Beatiful bonsai
Followed! Congratulations on 40k, on to 50 next!
Looks good, and sick pot!
I have followed Ursus pottery! Wish I could win😁great video, my friend. Excellent job is reductive for what you did. And I really enjoyed the video itself, not just your repotting
Hey Darren thanks for the continued videos.....had a good look at the Ursus pottery on Instagram. Some very nice looking pieces on their page. 😉😁
A beautiful tree, good job 👍
Thank you 🙏
I like Tsuga, but so far I failed getting anything out of seeds, but I will keep trying.
That giant of a Bonsai is a challenge and clearly not a one man job, but you do it alone, awesome and really well done.
Thank you for sharing.

I'll always make free content, I have no judgement :) Just had a few negative comments so felt the need to explain that I'm not trying to get rich
Following both now, cheers
Thanks John
I subscribed to Gro bonsai and followed ursus pottery. Great videos and nice pot from Ursus!
They "refurbished" your vid onthe insider. But it left me with questions. Your video is much better, its like they left the best bits of vid and info out😂
Nice repot! Following both you guys on Instagram!
Appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing your experiences, friends, Best wishes for success always, Greetings from a hobby
Thanks! Best wishes from UK
