Nice save Alan! It grows so well in your climate. 👍

[@TropicalBonsai]

I'll be having chestnuts in no time.

[@iPheek]

Nice! I kicked mine outside and under shade (I’m in summer) and it’s growing happy! Loving the humidity and the heat! Water everyday!

[@TropicalBonsai]

Thanks!

Reminds me of my Money tree, only one tree still alive, nice save

[@TropicalBonsai]

Thanks. I'm always amazed when someone keeps one alive the way they package them at the big stores.

[@gilliantucker8900]

you did it!! it looks great!!! ps... I finally made it through a WHOLE video 😂 am I the "niece" shout out?? lol 😊

[@TropicalBonsai]

Yes that would be you.

[@zicada7661]

Some of the trees you removed looked good further up. You can just cut above the rotten part and plant it like a cutting

[@TropicalBonsai]

Well at least I saved the main tree.

Ok banget kawan sukses selalu

[@TropicalBonsai]

Thank you!

These trees have very small root systems. I have one that I recently repotted. About 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide and the roots took up no more space than about my fist. You can get away with a fairly small pot for a fairly large tree.

[@TropicalBonsai]

Yes, since the time I finished this video it has grown quite a bit but still hasn't really settled in the container with its roots yet.

Beautiful

[@TropicalBonsai]

Thank you

[@wrgoinlive]

Nicely done. I was trying to understand what you were explaining about using pebbles vs potting soil my nursery recommended. We're they all lava rock pebbles or something else?

[@TropicalBonsai]

It is a premixed bonsai soil I but from Wigerts, my local nursery. They have a website. It is the mix they sell for $55 for 5 gallons.

Thank you!

How often did you run this through water?

[@TropicalBonsai]

I water almost every day. It is outside in full Florida sun. In the winter I water a little less.

[@nikitaadamson3653]

Can u replant the dead stems?

[@TropicalBonsai]

No, not the dead ones.
