- In this video Terry Erasmus uses a rock which he collected many years ago to create a Ishizuki or Root on Rock bonsai planting. He uses a Japanese black pine and a red berried Firethorn, both which he grew from seed. Moss and other accent plants complete the scene.

Very compliments Terry,i appreciated so much this fantastic composition!👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it Roberto. I’m proud of the planting and the video too 😀
Great video Terry very informative 👏🏻 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it Kevin!
very creative, looking forward to seeing an update on this one
Thanks, will do!
You’re amazing
That’s a very generous compliment. Thank you.
Very good video Terry. Your video production skills are getting really good.
Wow, thank you Paul. Yes, I must say I am proud of this one. Very punchy 😊. Just like bonsai, I’m always trying something new and to increase my skillset.
Very cool and i have now been inspired to do my own root over rock
Great! Best time for this is spring of course. Also, try to use species which will manage in the kind of light you will grow the planting in. For me to keep moss alive in Summer and provide sufficient sun for a pine is not possible. I would change that.
Another great vídeo... the result was astonishing!!!
Thank you! Cheers Antonio!
Beautiful work
Thank you very much! 🙇🏼♂️

Awesome composition -Great job so inspiring - can’t wait to see is in years to come. Shawn
Thanks so much Shawn. Hope you make one too, lots of fun and using inexpensive material you can make something so pleasing to look at and enjoy.
You have outdone yourself once again Terry, proud you should be - this is amazing! 🤩
Thanks so much Wesley 😁 I’ve got some more cool rocks I’ve collected over the years. I think I should do more of these. Thanks for commenting!
A fabulous job
Thanks so much 🙏🏻
This is blowing my mind
I’ll take that as a compliment! 😂
Stunning arrangement!! Love the technique you used for wire attachments, and the blue display pot is absolutely perfect! How do you water this composition? It must be very hard to tell the amount of moisture present at the root balls.
Thank you so much! You water as you would any other bonsai essentially. The moss protects the medium below. The medium comprises of very water retentive media. The challenge is not allowing it to dry beyond a certain point. Summer will present a challenge but at that time I water twice a day normally anyway, so this will just be another planting.
Nice planting Terry. Like the idea. Great video on how to do it.
Will you keep the bottom tray full of water to help to increase the humidity around the planting in summer?
How do you plan to replace the soil in the future (repotting)?
Looking forward to see how it will turn out.
Thanks Stephen! The tray which I show in the video is too precious to use as a long term base, only want to use it for display purposes. I will use a large plastic drip tray. I am not sure how much of a believer I am of this concept that a tray of water increases local humidity, it just blows away with the slightest breeze. However standing the stone in some water may make a difference as many stones are able to wick water up. I am not sure if this is one of those but I have pings (Mexican butterworts) growing on large chunks of lava stone and they get enough moisture just from wicking action.
On ishizuki the idea is that you either never, or at least VERY seldom need to repot. At "worst" I would remove pieces of the growing media and replace, like in a forest, but the sources I have read regarding famous ishizuki suggest they are never repotted. Says something about the frequent need many feel necessary for potted bonsai, but yeah, like anything in bonsai its not as simple as that.
I am going to have to figure out watering in summer, but many of my trees require watering twice a day so I have the ability to do that, if necessary I may even place it somewhere it can be misted more frequently but I dont think it will be that necessary.
Plants and mosses were chosen carefully for their similar preferences for sun. The pyracantha needs more water though hence why I planted it into the enclave of the rock and also lower down where it should get more water from any wicking action. But yes, I have always been afraid of the demands this sort of planting will make on my time during summer mostly, so its a wait and see game for me too.
Thanks!
Thanks so much! Most appreciated
