Thanks to Tom and Mitchell for the cool gifts!

Wow, that's a great collection of P. afra varieties. The pink stem one is particularly interesting.
that greenhouse is coming along! super exciting!
those pinkish trunk ones are interesting, never seen those before, I hope they live!
I'll save you a cutting or two!!!
I was really intrigued by those red stemmed portulacarias, so I ordered one online. It is quite small, but it'll grow. Thank you for introducing me.
The pink ports may be my new favourite, dethroning the cork bark. It looks like coral in that clump!
Never seen that pinkish Portulacaria before! Cant wait to see what it looks like when it leafs out
Ficus Trees are quickly becoming favorite along with Olives. The word Baobab always brings to mind the drawing in St- Exupery's The Litttle Prince
Nice to see these varieties.. Gilbert Cantu from Little Jade Bonsai have a great collection of portulacaria afras
I like portulacaria afra. Fun plants to experiment with.
A wonderful garden
Everything is looking great nigel, I'm so excited to see the greenhouse when its finished. I'm loving the progression
I am glad you liked the gifts. Mitchell sent you some cool Port's. Should grow great for you. At least the weather will hold up for you so that you can finish the greenhouse. Another great video.
Really cool portulacaria afra trees especially the kaleidoscope ones, nice to receive gifts in the mail how cool!!
OOOooooOOOOooo! Neat stems!
Portulacaria galore !! 😀
Nice collection of varieties too,
Really nice portulacariafra, cant wait to see future updates. Awesome gifts from Tom, lots of excitement in the bonsai zone !
It’s nice to see people Spreading the love that Tom is such a nice guy
So many cool varieties of ports. I got a bunch of variegated ones in a discount grocery store for €2 each. Each pot has two plants, so technically €1 each.
Couldn't pass that deal by!!
Wow nuove piante di Jade !! Go go Nigel !! Bonsai Jade 😜
Can’t wait till the end of the month of October to see the green house finally built
Hopefully at least by then!!!! So many distractions!
How wonderful to see you receive a gift. Good luck Lil Afra's I love them.❤✌🏻
Amazing, I would love the opportunity to grow some of these specimens!!
Nigel you should have tried the Extreme products on the new plants. Great looking pot from Tom also. Nice plants and pot from Mitchel too. You worked all day...did you remember to eat today??
Now there are bare roots,i ordered a bare root weeping willow ,when I received it it only had a couple of roots ,it looked sad to me,it noticed the postman forcing a business size envelope ,it takes had card board to protect it,the whole thing was squashed, sadly it didnt survive ,i didn't notify the company they said it would be okay, sent them the photo of the dead brach ,to me it wasn't a bare rooted tree ,just a cutting,they are sending me another ,let's hope it's what I paid for $25, great haul for you Nigel.
What a fun day! Those unusual portulacaria afra plants look fantastic! I hope they all make it, especially that gorgeous pink stemmed one! The glass greenhouse is looking stellar! You were the perfect person to get it!
Loved the updates
Thanks Water Lover!!
A nice staghorn fern would be great in that faux wood pot.
Ooo, new building project with the plant room! I love watching the greenhouse build! Lovely content, Nigel. So soothing and interesting.
i know you're a bonsai guy and not an orchid guy, but an orchid would look great in that little 'log' pot. would give the appearance of a wood-mounted orchid without the nuisance! :P
I would love one of the cuttings. I have been looking for an afra forever.
What a nice variety in this video. You are making so much progress on the greenhouse!
That wooden pot would look great with any epiphyte
Yeah I’m at the dilema of when to bring my ficuses inside. I have a west facing Window with 180 watts of LEDS, but even with the lowering sun angle, I’m not sure that’s any better. Fortunately the temps have been waaay above normal and I think I have at least a few more weeks outside.
Kyoto moss sound interesting. The city has great moss gardens :)
The pink Portulacaria afra look a bit like corals. Really cool!
That's a great pot from Tom! Alot of cool stuff :) I actually just ordered a sample pack from Xtreme gardening as well which Tom referred. I look forward to trying their products. They look great.
Hi nigel nice work on your channel im starting to love your work, in this video you mention a ceiba i will love to see that bonsai, im from guatemala and trying to start on bonsai work, have a nice day.

Thnks nigel
You should put your hemlock in the log pot because in nature you will often find them growing out of rotting logs 🪵
Yes good
Thanks!!!
You should try your hand at growing mushrooms in that wood pot. Ik surr it would look really cool if you could
👌👌👌...!!!
Did these portulacaria afra's live? I quite like portulacaria afra's. Have you seen the mammoth portulacaria afra? They are really neat. Leaves are quite large. I found some nice ones at home depot. Home depot and lowes always surprise me with interesting plants. And they are usually quite inexpensive.
Look good! I wonder if how long pencil cactus cuttings would last in the mail🤔 I have some rather large ones. I also wonder how customs would treat them?
Portulacaria afra is one of my favorite plants ever, do you have any good resources on how to propagate and grow them effectively?
Here I am wonder img how to get a frank port to sweden. Tried so Many places. I SHALLENT GIVE UP!
i made the mistake of planting all my cuttings in the pot with the main trees and now it looks like grass there are so many trees!
I always love your videos! What soil are you using for these? Looks a little like perlite.
Hello Nigel! So, if i understood correctly you can make a clump style with portulacaria. Will it fuse?
What do you use in your soilmix?
Any advice on where I can purchase some bare root portulacaria afra I live in Northern Ontario our resources are very limited
What happened to the big greenhouse you bought and took apart a few years back? That one is huge.
I want to know too
Nigel, you still have this huge greenhouse you got a few years ago? At your current plant acquisition rate you will need it soon ;)
I still have the large greenhouse, hopefully I can get a small section of it up in the future as plants just keep showing up at my place!!!
No water ? But there are roots
strange foist with james
A very nice Foist James!!!!
Did they survive?
All survived except the purple stemmed ones!
@@TheBonsaiZone aww Sad to here that. Really hope they pulled true
