I love tropicals. Super jealous of the locations that enable such massive and rapid growth and aerial root systems. But thankful that i have the knowledge and means to create a similar environment indoors. Really excited to start grafting experiments soon! Thanks for the very useful and concise info about the effects of different pruning on these
@@anggirteja4675 good point! I imagine it's much much harder to create an environment where a Japanese maple would survive in an area outside its natural habitat! I didn't think about that. Thank you, you make me appreciate the few deciduous trees I have even more!
Absolutely LOVED this but how he struggled with the word matured or mature or maturing got to me. 😂. I finally thought maybe I missed something and maturized just might be a word. 😂. Someone please tell me I'm wrong and was just using webster's dictionary wrong! On a positive note, this guy is a GREAT instructor. I thoroughly enjoyed this!
what about Ficus sensitivity to cold. Should it be brought inside if the tree is immature or was pruned heavily ? Can you prune in autumn and still prevent decline in winter? can you summarize (maybe in a post) the thing to do and things you shouldn't do with a Ficus (keeping it alive). thank you Mine rotted last winter after 10 years...
is it possible to grow a podocarpus inside? I think it looks simmilar to a juniper, but junipers def die inside of what i heard :) The long leaves ficus looks also like something i would like
I didn write nothing bad but RUclips don't want to post !!! 1😡 Great video, You needd to write a book about a bonsai ficus, i would love to have it and study it beter 😊
Tigerbark is a retusa? Which is also a microcarpa? No! And shame on you Mirai. This is really disappointing where usually your content is top level. Not this time
Per Jerry Meislik’s book, this is a common taxonomical crossover. Ficus microcarpa var. Tiger Bark would be most correct, but many F. microcarpa varieties are represented as F. retusa.
@@abstract200 yes, however it’s very common for people to misapply F. retusa and F. microcarpa. The speaker still clearly knows his stuff. I already gave one source, however I will also reference the second sentence of this entry en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ficus_retusa.

Wow - this was the BEST bonsai how to video I’ve seen in the 2 years I’ve been researching bonsai on the Internet !!! Very helpful tips - thanks !

Super information for a beginner ,all the finer points explained in a simple way. Thanks a lot.
Awesome video including the editing.
I learnt so much.
Fantastic info for the growing of figs as bonsai for all as we do in Australia.
i really like this guy! goes strait to the point!
Love the information you provide!
Repetition is the best way to learn something.
Why the re-upload?
Nice video and a Tool fan✂️🤟
Awesome video - lots of great info !
My willow leaf and the too little or curly Benjamin were my first trees. They are 19 years old. Looking real gnarly too. 😊
Fantastic Information . In South Africa we use a number of ficus varieties . Burtt- davyi is readily available here 😊
Great video

We in tropical areas also sometimes envy those who live in 4 season areas because you have extraordinary maple trees

Can I do this on an old retusa now ?
I live in Lille, France.
Thanks for your videos ;)
What soil do you use for ficus?
My Ficus microcarpa has a big and ugly surface root. Any pointers on how I can correct it? I live in a tropical country.
Hi , Not sure if you covered this, but what was the process to create the ficus from a cutting? Do you just plant the cutting and it creates roots?
You explain it well.
I would buy your book about ficus bonsai trees, if you have one then link please and in few day's i will start studieng it!!! Thank you 😊

Thank bonsai video ❤️👍🔔👍🔔👍🔔
Who is the Martha who authored a book on Florida ficus? I can't understand her last name. AI search turned up nothing as well. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing.

Did Ryan do something different with his hair? I can’t quite place my finger on it…
Wow thanks.

Yep, seen this video a week ago, why again?
So nice, we had to see it twice!
The good, better twice!!
Where's Ryan?
Specialising in species that aren't tropical, I would guess
Humidity !!!!
ficus concinna is the best
