Very nice for Bonsai Empire to invite Peter Chan and explain how to care for Ficus Bonsai !👌💯
Very nice that Peter accepted our invitation :-)
I thought it was a herons video!!!!! Thank you for sharing to us....
Glad you enjoyed it
Me too.
@@bonsaiempire It was a pleasant surprise to see Peter Chan on here :D
So Great you guys had Peter on!
Please do more collaboration with Peter Chan, very knowledgeable and straight forward.
He is - and he has his own RUclips (ruclips.net/channel/UCyZR5OfKC6sQ6fKHDzlruNw) but I'm sure you know it already :)
I feel like he isn't on the same level as other teachers like Bjorn and Mirai..
@@jimjam6598 agreed, Mirai is more like a classroom teacher and Bjorn is traditionally trained in Japan. I just like Peter’s “homegrown” approach and how he doesn’t complicate the process. I also watch Mirai and Bjorn regularly.
@@rovor24 I agree peter is a lot less intimidating but I still think he doesn't have the same knowledge and quality of pieces as others
@@jimjam6598 The nice thing about Peter is that he really shows that anyone can grow decent trees, while the other ones mostly show trees of a level most of us will never achieve.
The Bob Ross of Bonsai folks! Love the videos!
Wow didn't expect to see Peter. Nice surprise😊
glad to see you on bonsai empire
I got my first bonsai today with my wife 😊
I'm a semi-newer bonsai owner, I had purchased a ficus bonsai at the beginning of last year and it had shed a bit at the beginning but, after a bit it got better and it looks a lot better than it did before.
I'm from Indonesia always loyal in participating in this event .. thank you for inspiring us
i wish i had someone like you around me in my life =)
you are unbeliveable easy to understand, a good teacher and a very inspirational person to me

جميل جدا ارجوا ان يكون هناك ترجمة للعربية
Well that is 7 mins i can never get back.
What are these tendrils coming down from the branches and how to you create them
Aerial roots; most ficus species develop them in high humidity (near 100% RH).
@@andreasweber1533 In the summer would putting a clear plastic of some type on it...a bubble of sorts to create more heat to encourage aerial roots be a bad/good idea? Or how can you?
@@crodgers383 It's not about heat, but humidity. But yes, improvising a greenhouse for the tree (or even just a branch section) e.g. from a clear plastic bag should work. Just be careful that it doesn't get too hot for the plant (e.g. could happen rapidly if the sun directly strikes such a small enclosure).
Se almeno ci fosse la traduzione scritta!!! Grazie
I am second one to like
Nice
Though I do enjoy Peter chan wouldn't his knowledge of deciduous be more value than that of a tropical tree considering he has lived in the UK for 50 years
Not really as the most popular trees sold in uk are indoor trees.
Is these Ficus a real tree or just a plant?
i am newbie, some people and many bonsai tutor in the internet says that ficus is good for beginner. But , i did kill my first ficus, even i live in the tropical country, that so ridiculuous. But yeah , that was happened. IDK what's wrong, in the first 2 weeks, it grow well, even it produce like some kind of seeds or kind of fruits. But, eventhought i water it frequently, but the stem began to ripple, it was like you can peel the tissues of the stems and trunk, the leaves fall out crazily. and it was dead.
un fortunately, even it's easy to find, but it's hard to find a ficus for a bonsai in nursery here,
You watered it too much then, you must let the soil stay dry for atleast 1 day before you water it again
@@aaryansetia9093 mungkin yo mas, lha karang gek semangat2 e to , aku njur dadak tuku meneh, biyek nandur cemara udah mati sampe 2 kali
@@drawingfranco7533 I don't understand the language, sorry(English pls)
@@aaryansetia9093maybe you're right, because because this is my brand new hobby and plants, then i just wanted to water it everyday. I do it because the merchant said so.. He say the plants are gonna be alright for that
@@drawingfranco7533 No no, you must give the tree atleast one day dry period. However, some species like Ficus religiosa(peepal tree) and Ficus Bengalhensis(Banyan tree) can take more than a week's dry period.I have many of the ficuses and if sometimes I forget to water these trees, they're absolutely fine! But my ficus benjamina variagated gets sunburn if in the Sun without watering even for a day.
California is not in the Mediterranian.
He is saying it has a Mediterranean climate. Do some research.
@@jimbersmcimbers He says at 1:00 "... even in Mediterranean countries like .... California ...". Do you know what a country is? Are you sure? Take a course in the English language and also brush up on reading comprehension. That's a good boy.
@@BackSeatHump why do you have to be so rude
@@jimjam6598 You don't think, "do some research" deserves "brush up on reading comprehension" in response? If not, then mind your own business and stop contributing to your need for drama.
. I think we all know what he meant, you are being a contrarian.
