Definitely completely new for me: „Slip potting with nebari root work“ 👍 That’s amazing Josh! 🤩 Additionally I learned a new term. 24:11 „sturdy“ That’s awesome too. 😄👍 Thx from Austria 🙋♀️ Martina
Friendly hello to Josh from Down Under. Good to see you again. Meanwhile in Salzburg: Spring is coming, buds are flushing out and I‘m in the middle of the repotting season. Unfortunately my Juniper didn’t made it through the winter. Happy Bonsai 🙋♀️ Martina
Anotherexcellent demonstration video!! Very well presented and easy to understand. Thank you! Watching you work I hear the Munster's theme music in the background of my mind. LOL That was my favorite show when I was a kid. Love your tatoos!
Any season is fine as you are not touching the roots, but it is best to get it done before a tree becomes root bound as this will cause a delay before the tree begins growing rapidly again. I usually do it as the roots begin to populate the outside edge of the soil.
Hey Josh, great video, as always! I always thought that a bonsai-substrate mix was used to grow and thicken the pre-bonsai as well. Like you sometimes see with those box-projects. Or should the change to bonsai soil only be made when the containers are getting more shallow and the tree is in a refinement state?
Hi Davey, The box projects you see i believe are yamadori ( assuming you just mean trees in wooden boxs ). The reason for this is after a tree is collected you need to get a higher amount of oxygen to the soil to help grow back a strong root system after collection. normally something like pumice is used in this situation to help prevent too much moisture and add extra oxygen. When we are developing trees we use organic soil as it holds more nutrient's, it holds more heat, and its dense and grows thick roots which results in bigger thicker growth on top. When we change over to refinement we are looking to do the opposite. so we use in organics which will help grow smaller finer roots which has several benefits. i hope this helps
@@BonsaiEn Hey Josh, Yeah that makes sense! I've seen 'garden-yamadori' that were treated the same way you just described. I'm guessing that, when a tree is dug out of the ground, it will have lots of roots cut off during the proces. So that makes sense to prioritise root growth. Would it be possible to grow junipers/broadleaves/... in bigger containers with a bonsai mix? Or do you think that there is no real advantage during the initial growing phase, where the tree mainly needs more nutrients as you described.
Can I actually make styling at the same time? I have Squamata Juniper which I bought for next spring to work with. It hasn't been styled or anything yet so it is pure nursery stock. If I use the potting up, can I do the initial styling towards bonsai at the same time?
Hey Josh, not sure if I have commented before on this but have you had any success or dealings with radiata as bonsai? I have heard from some other practitioners to treat them like JPB. Keen to hear your thoughts on such a readily available pine we have in these parts. So far, weirdly enough, my Radiata are behaving more like JPB should do and my JPB are are pushing candled seemingly out of season if that makes sense. Also on a sadder note, you portrayed my twin cascading juniper in one of your critique videos about a year or so ago (green cascade pot) and I'm sorry to report that it succumbed to some kind of stress and died this season. I put this down to the wiring that I put it through prior as that was the only point of difference care wise I could find between the that one and the other procumbens nanas I have in my collection. The others however are thriving thanks in part to your guidance so cheers!
Hi Matt, some people are still experimenting with radiata as to whether they are single flush or double flush. I've only started with radiata not too long ago so my knowledge is limited. From what I've seen so far though I'm leaning towards single flush, but only time will tell for sure. Talk to me next year after so more experimenting and i may say different haha.
I have never seen how to develop the roots before. Excellent demonstration.
I've rarely seen videos on roots like this. Super informative, and appreciate the care you took to show us what's going on!
Thanks for watching!
He’s back! 😊
Can't wait to see an update on this tree!

That pin work with the roots,is so smart.That was new to me.Thank you🌳🌳

Hi Martina, sorry to hear about your juniper. Don't give up though!
Glad to see you back!
Thank you so much for this! As a beginner this is invaluable!!! Love your channel!!!! 🥰👍😀

Great lesson josh i learned some new things. Ur a great teacher and know ur stuff ,keep up the great work. Nice to see u back in action
Thanks mate, i appreciate it.
Where have you been? Glad you are back
Great work, thanks.
What is the best season to do the slip potting?
Any season is fine as you are not touching the roots, but it is best to get it done before a tree becomes root bound as this will cause a delay before the tree begins growing rapidly again. I usually do it as the roots begin to populate the outside edge of the soil.
Great to see this tutorial ❤

Great video! Can I ask, if you haven’t already answered. What’s your soil mix in this video? if you don’t mind answering.
Very good video keep it up

Great lessons Josh, pin those wild misguided roots down and show em the way to nebari glory.
