It's so weird, how such a ruthlessly brutal process results in something beautiful. And why is it even beautiful to us? It's not a cultural thing. People all over the world see the beauty in Bonsais. Why *does* this look more beautiful to us, than just a healthy, naturally grown little tree 🤷🏻♀️
Great comment actually. Most people just hate because of the process. Please note, that this is the single most invasive event that happens in a Bonsai‘s life and will only have to be done once. After this it’s mostly pruning, fertilizing, watering and putting on the occasional wire. As for why this looks more beautiful to us than a regular small tree: Bonsai evokes within us the feeling of looking at an aged, rugged tree as you would perhaps find in a mountain scene, when taking a high altitude hike (for this particular Bonsai, that was the feeling I was going for). The beauty comes from recognizing age by aspects of the tree like deadwood, that tells a story of what was and is no longer, yet remains in a changed way. Same goes for the elongation of branches that have been shaped by the wind and surface roots that cling on to the mountain side to anker the tree against the forces of nature. These are things Bonsai tries to convey and as such there is much beauty to be found. Sorry if this is long AF, but I think it was a fair question.
I bought a juniper from grocery store and the little tap says indoor keep soil dry but I have seen a lot of youtube videos say the opposite I need help
Wow. That's one of the best instant bonsai I know
I appreciate it ✨
Amazing work. Looks great I love the dead wood being added in looks like the plant has been through something intense
Thanks! Exactly, like a lightning strike
My friend had a bonsai business. It did very well. So well, in fact, that he had to move to a smaller premises❗😁
Stuning 👍👍
Nice idol watching
Big fan of your work
I too have a juniper but wasn't sure how to work on it
But after this video of yours,I guess it'll become abit easier for me now
Thank you ✨ I hope all goes well with your Juniper!
Lovely 🌹
Step 7: hoping it doesn't die in 6 months
Step 8: the inevitable „it will die“ comments start rolling in 😂🫶🏻
@@Bonsaifly Did it really die?
@@marconikarga no man, it’s fine. People just hate
@@Bonsaifly ah glad to know. Keep it up mate👍🏻
Where do I purchase the raffia and wires?
I'm surprised he didn't leave more foliage on the bottom branches to encourage thicker bottom branches resulting in branch taper towards the top
It’ll be done over time. The lowest branch actually has a ton of foliage
Como se llama el otro material con que las amarras, abtes del alambre por favor
Raffia

Keep it outside and water when the soil surface is dry
What kind of juniper Is this
Chinesis?
It’s a chinensis variation called Blauuw, I’d say this chinensis is the most often found variation in plant nurseries around my area
😍🤗🫡
Nana?
Chinensis var. blaauw
