- Two methods for creating bonsai forest plantings from one year old Japanese maple (Acer palmatum "Sango Kaku") seedlings. With the second method, we can plant the forest in the ground for rapid growth and development. Thank you for your time.

Thanks for sharing this special technique of planting young seedlings
You're welcome!
Perfecto, gracias.
Con gusto! Con mucho gusto!
I’m curious why you don’t remove the tap root before planting. Thanks
These are quite young and the tap root is bendable. I just bend it and make it part of the flat nebari.
Is there any akadama in that soil ? Or is it just pumice and peat moss ?
No, no acadama, no pumice. I despise acadama. This soil's composition is about 40% perlite, 30% zeolite (3-5mm) and 30% forest topsoil with mostly aggricates, abies needles, bark and cone pieces. Works great for deciduous and keeps perfect percolation for more than 3 years.
@@ArkefthosBonsai Why do you say you despise akadama ?
It's clay. Clay shouldn't exist in potted plants' soil. It starts breaking down very fast and after 2 years the pot is an anaerobic mess. Even the good quality ones. Before repotting the plants have terrible percolation.
@@ArkefthosBonsai I will keep that in mind. I am just getting into bonsai, maybe this spring I will start some myself. I keep seeing akadama used for pines, this is why I asked you about it.
Is kiryu soil any good ? Or zeolit does as good as a job ?
@@tattoofun2003 Kiryu is lava rock. Quite usuful especially for wet cool climates. But it is a component. Can't be used alone. Pumice, perlte, zeolite, gravel, all very good components to make different kinds of soil. I always like to add some organic agricates that I collect from the forest above my garden. I prefer having some organic from the start (even though organic matter from fertilizer will be accumulated eventually). Zeolite with good dimension is my favourite though.
Where did you get that blue colander?
I found them locally, I. Greece. Marketed as wide shallow strainers for pasta. And in February I bought 120 of them to use with maples, zelkova and pines. Good luck finding some, as they really make great nebaris with minimal effort.
