    For some reason, I liked the moss trying to grow up the columns.

    Sound of rain falling on the greenhouse. Nice warming spring day. Class in session today with Bonsai Master, Nigel. Bring pencil & paper for notes & your cup of tea or coffee. Enjoy a great session.

    Also one of my favorite trees of yours, as well as my own in my own collection. It's always refreshing to get something that is so widely known to be generic and unimpressive and shape it into something that you, personally, want to look at and work on. It becomes so individual and impressive in a way that a rare plant never could. I hope one day that mine looks 1/10th as good as this. Thanks for sharing.

    Hi Nigel, thank you for your videos. You are type of person that inspires me. You inspire me not only in bonsai, but also in the way you live and the way you look at life. Greetings from Czech Republic.

    I am always amazed after you prune this tree! Due to how small it is and how fast it grows the "perfect" picture of it may fade a bit faster compared to bigger bonsai but it might be one of my favourites of your collection!

  • @michaelhoward487
    @michaelhoward487 Год назад +2

    Your carving of the roots is well on its way to looking like an old banyan tree. That pot goes a long way to achieving an ancient look. Masterfully done!!!😊

    The back of this tree is so beautiful, very unique roots crawling over the pot, i feel like that could be a better front!

    This is one of my favorite trees of yours. I can’t pin point why, but I think the shape of it makes it look huge and ancient, almost mystical.

    I stayed here mostly for the rain. No rain for weeks where I live and I'm missing it like crazy. I'm getting some growth on the plants I stored in a cool basement and brought out to the balcony.

    Nigel, I do believe this is the nicest styled ginseng ficus that I've ever seen. So many of this type of ficus sold in the big box stores here in the States. The work that you did in previous videos on the carving of the roots does make a difference in the style. Well done!

      You do amazing work on your trees without wiring. I wanted to ask you a question about my golden gate ficus. I repotted it in late winter early spring. It was fine for a little while but then lost most of its leaves. Some branches are brittle it has a little bit of new growth is it dying. It is a special tree a gift from my mom. Please help

    Nigel, I have an idea! Why dont you do a relaxing video of rain on the greenhouse, with a view inside the greenhouse with all the bonsai and patter of the rain and clinking of windchime.

  • @michaelwhyte8529

    Hi nigel happy spring!
    Question:as i live near the coast we get strong wind at times and my plants get covered in salt spray which really knocks them around. I have jade, figs, murraya and desert rose. As we have about a week of strong onshore winds coming ive decided to put them in the laundry, out of the wind for a few days. Only problem is they wont get any sun. How long can they stay in the dark before it harms the trees? Its autumn here, bout 27 to 15 degrees at night.
    Thank you👊

    • @TheBonsaiZone
      @TheBonsaiZone  Год назад +1

      I week will be no problem without sun, I would guess most Ficus could go about three weeks before you notice any ill effects!

  • @pradeepmanglik2016
    @pradeepmanglik2016 Год назад

    I think you should remove the areial roots which are growing from very high up and have thickened up quite a bit .....just a suggestion for you to consider..
