Beautiful bonsai, but to be completely honest, I imagined some root work etc when I read repotting..not just slapping it on the slab and dunking a lot of soil on top of it. :) Keep it up!
the story line of this was that you do NOT work on roots in this case and not repot this tree in the next twenty years. How many spruce bosnai do you own? I own a few hundred.
@@WalterPall Yes that was real clear from the commentary. Perhaps next time try adding the "story line" instead of snapping at those who raise questions about your ambiguous video.
Great work. I wish I could have heard the speaking that went with it though. The substrate is very loose and looks like it could slide off during watering, etc. Will it be covered in moss to keep it in place while the roots grow to hold it all together?
This will not be covered by moss. Moss does not grow on this modern substrate, unfortunately. The sempervivum plants help a bit. The substrate will NOT slide off during watering and rain - only a little. Every year i put a couple hand full of substrate back on. Over time the rootball is becoming so firm it will just stay. Believe me, I have around 50 trees on slabs like this.
Walter Pall Thanks. I find that moss will grow on this kind of substrate as long as you leave some peat under the moss and cover the whole surface so that there are no edges to dry out. Do the sempervivums not compete for root space?
@@peterboneg I really want the top to be open to let air with oxygen to the roots.. Moss is not important fro pros. Two days before the exhibit it is put on and will days two weeks later. Amateus are too much concerned about moss. After ten years it will come by itself.I weed the sempervivum once in a while.
Good show is there any reason why the wire was copper instead of aluminum perhaps to keep bugs snails and the like away or just because he had copper wire
Because copper is twice as strong as aluminum and does not change over time. I wanted the tree to stay fixed for several years. It is out in the garden exposed to wind, snow, climbing cats, carrying assistants . The roots need to be save and the fine roots must not brake. Copper does it. I know that it is supposed to be toxic. After 40 years i have no evidence that copper wire causes problems.
The point was to show that this exactly one does not do at all. Removing the soil would have been very unprofessional. In the next thirty years the soil will not be touched on this.
How many years was this beautiful tree in the previous pot and in what substrate? thanks, Mr Pall and Bonsai Empire for making this public so soon after the event.
The tree was in the pot for about ten years in modern substrate. in this case it was a mixture of pumice with lava and some rough peat. Even after ten years the substrate cold be taken off by shaking the tree. The added reddish substrate is pumice with hardened akadama from IBUKI. This will stay as is for more than twenty years and still let water and air through..
@@paolomh113 the exact mixture of substrate is absolutely not important. Normal akadama I would never use for such a planting. But it was baked akadama and there is a huge difference - it does not decompose. Otherwise i take what's available. There is way too much discussion about mixtures.
Looks great on the slab! Excellent job. It’s just a shame we couldn’t hear mr Pall’s commentary on it.
Quite a pool of water on the floor at the end! I really like the basic style of the tree.
Beautiful tree n amazing pot.
Thanks
Beautiful!

@@WalterPall interesting, didnt know that! I didnt mean it as offense, thanks for clarifying 🙂
JakubNvk ....true Story … peace!

Made me cringe watching them push on that tree. Why not put it down and lift straight up. Beautiful slab truly fits that tree and style
Because it wold NEVER go out of the pot just pulling up.
A tree that old, and that developed, it's okay to be rough with. That tree would've hurt them before they accidently hurt it.

@@WalterPall what is this gray powder that you put on the end of the repotting on the substrate? Can be seen in a Plastic pot on 6:47
Muhteşem oldu tebrik ediyorum.👏👏🇹🇷🇹🇷
That's a useful experience .THanks for share
The great bonsai...love it...
I just wanna say...amazing
Beautiful
Beautiful tree!!!
Alguien sabe que sustrato utiliza.
Buen trabajo
Una mezcla de la marca ibuki si no me equivoco
@@javierboin5807 sure!
Do we have to wire all the plants that going to make bonsai
The bonsai look more good on slabs, goo job my friend....
We need to hear the Story that Walter has to tell bout the tree🤓🤓🤓
What planting media do you use sir?
modern substrate - pumice mixed with hardened akadama.
This substrate is from IBUKI
can i have it?😬
O que é esse substrato cinza colocado por cima?
This is baked loam in dark color. It is only for the eye.
magnifique
Am I the only person that doesn't like slabs at all?
looks like it
Liked it better with soil instead of gravel.
I hope it lives.
you bet - this i s to show how to do it professionally.

I think you should Remove all the soils before repotting.

30 years, really! Haha.
How old is the tree?
150 years or older

Walter Pall Walter Pall thank you, what was the reason for repotting? It looks even better, natural on the slab.
Walter Palls sorry to bother again but why did you change the substrate composition? I'm not a big fan of akadama my self due to fast decomposition.
@@paolomh113 the exact mixture of substrate is absolutely not important. Normal akadama I would never use for such a planting. But it was baked akadama and there is a huge difference - it does not decompose. Otherwise i take what's available. There is way too much discussion about mixtures.
Is this slab made by hand or was bought?
This slab is made by Jan Culek
@@WalterPall Thank,very strong composition.
Y no talking... this sucks only having music.
