- It's been a long time since I repotted and worked on my Money Tree Bonsai (Pachira aquatica) or it is also known as the Guiana chestnut.

Learning to take the risks. I guess if you don’t take the risk to root prune hard when you need to, you will always have a tree that you are not happy with. Nigel, I always learn something when I watch your videos.
Yes, it all depends on what your goal for the tree is. It can range from a typical house plant to an exceptional bonsai, and anywhere in between.
I'm glad that spider-buddy is ok! That spider has got the right idea when it comes to choosing the perfect real estate for its home!
Yes, I saw it catch three gnats last night while I was watering the trees!
I read somewhere that the direction of the base coming out of the ground and the apex should be angled in the same direction, more or less regardless of the movement of the trumk. This is some sort of psychological thing that makes us feel at ease, rather than conflicted, about the look of the tree. I have sort of decided that this is a good principle to follow, in my limited experience. Just a though, as I watched you adjust this tree in its pot.
Hello Nigel ! I really enjoyed watching you work on the money tree, it looks great. Glad to see you working away in your greenhouse in January.
Hello J! Yes, it's so nice being able to work away in the backyard, it's a bit cool, but very peaceful!
Hope all your trees are doing well, it looks like only one of the Cypress cuttings is growing, the others slowly turned brown. The Kapok's are doing really well! Happy new year J!
Spider love! Looks like a thousand bucks!
Not sure I will bonsai a money tree, but I love the trunk on that one, it looks like a horse's hoof, and that's my favorite animal!
Cool, I should have put a shoe on the bottom!
@@TheBonsaiZone Haha!😂❣
On my pots with cracks I use aquarium caulk and seal from the inside for it to hold. Just a thought.
I love this tree without it's leaves 😄 the trunk is so beautiful, it should be open to viewers, but big leaves take all attention to themselves. I say keep that tree naked 😆 I love to watch you work ♡
Big fat beauty of a pachira/money tree! 😍 Hopefully my forest will look that good in 6 years. 🙏
It will Jay, I have faith in you!!!
Such a beautiful tree , thank you for sharing your art with us.
It really was nice to get some fresh sunlight today. I've been watching a snail and now I have discovered this single snail in a pot is now multiple snails.
What a good root program ... Nigel 😍
I want that saw, omg..
lol aww, Nigel sincerely caring about the fate of the spider
Dr. Nigel to the rescue on the root system. Great looking tree after all the work was done. Great video!!!
That tree has great curves from every view!
For a tree that hasn’t got a lot of roots it looks very healthy so what you’re doing is working 👍👍
Best of luck with this bonsai tree. Looks GREAT in that new pot.
What a cool looking money tree. Terrific trunk!!!
Money tree is a very nice bonsai too!
I mentioned on your last premiere vid that there's a picture of you on Google with this tree. Awesome to see you upload about it right after! Maybe I got you thinking about it. And by the way I love your repot video! Happy new years Nigel !
I'm with you Nigel. Spiders catch lots of insects that come inside on plants. I've also had a tree frog come in and live in the house on the plants all winter. It used to rest on the dogs bed sometimes.
Awesome Amy!
That angle change really made a difference!
What a positive man!
SO BEAUTIFUL.
When you started talking about how stable and settled the tree was in the pot, you reminded me of my ex she demanded the same things 🤣
The tree’s taper is exceptional. I got one going as well even though I wasn’t planning on it but the tree is developing a good base from a cutting. Hopefully it will look like that one day!
I think the cutting I have is now as thick as the original tree that died!
@@TheBonsaiZone mine isn't going as fast but the bottom of it is woodying up!
My money tree is one of the slowest growers I have. It's been really interesting following this tree's journey!
You've got a very healthy money tree...👍👍👍
I love your videos my man, nigel
Wow.very nice money tree.i have a money tree to.
Some great work again as always Nigel - i must say I’m loving the soil mix it looks really good!!
Thanks Scott, I hope it works well for this tree!
Beautiful tree
Thanks, no new leaves yet, but I hope soon!
amazing to bonsai
Wow we have a lot of that kind of ficus here in the Philippines Sir
Great stuff. 🧡👊🏻🇨🇦
Another Great Video in the can!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi , Nigel Sunders I have been inspired from you.
From New Creation Rai Santosh East-Nepal Nepal 🇳🇵
AMAZING !!
Mr Bonsai Basali lol nice
I mimic the trees natural environment when watering trees
A very good idea!
Greetings from Puerto Rico! Loe all your videos!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Trees that regularly grow thick tuberous roots can be hard to develop a radial root base, I had similar situations with some Brachychitons that I am experimenting with.
Any updates on your money tree bonsai?
Nigel, I think the cracks are just firing cracks - they should be stable. Cheers.
Good day to you sir!
Great Video. :)
Short question: how does the tree survive without leaves? I thought it won't be able to produce sugar because it can't photosythesize.
Good day and happy gardening!
I need more information about money tree bonsai plants. Will you able to help me in this regard
Just got myself a few money trees for a forest project. How did this tree react to this heavy root pruning? Is it back at health and vigour after the summer?
👍👍👍
Quinn is in the Foist Zone tonight~~!
Nigel, where did you get your soil/root raking tool? I’ve looked everywhere online and can’t find anything that looks as good quality as yours.
I also bought one a few weeks ago and I was wondering how is yours doing. Looking nicer each year. Too bad it doesn't want to cooperate in the root department, but I'm sure you'll manage to persuade it to play along.
Love your videos Nigel! I was wondering if you could tell me where you get your gold root rake.
Thanks and greetings from Seattle, Washington.
What are contents of the soil?
I am having enough money plants and seeds available with me.
I hope this will live.
I realy like your plants
What kind of soil are you using for your money tree
I have a ginseng ficus and it has a similar thick root that grows in a circular pattern under the soil I was wondering if that is normal or should it be cut?
Happy New Year's, Nigel I like your tree it looks really nice . Can you tell me what kind of soil are you using... tku dj
It is a 50/50 mix of Perlite and SafetySorb (Fullers Earth) and then I add some reptile bark, maybe 10 to 20 percent.
where can i get bonsai pots online, does anyone know?
Hi Nigel, when you sift your soils before mixing, what size mesh would you be using?
I aim for a 3 to 4 mm particle size or 1/8"
Nicee
Thanks!!
what brand root rake and bonsai tools do you use if i may ask? love ur vids, much love from the netherlands!!!
Apparently he found the root rake at a thrift store from a kid gardening kit. It's so pretty isn't it? Brand of bonsai tools I don't know but would like to know 😉
What kind of soul did u use?
I've had my indoor money tree for years and all of a sudden I see what I thought was a new leaf but it looks different from the other new leaves. Any idea what it could be?
Maybe a flower, I've never seen one, but it's a possibility!
Let the tree grow into it's own personality! Trying to straighten everything is ruining it
You seem to like yourself a spider mate, maybe do as I do and get a succulent spider like the one I showed you in my pics lol
- Ashley Bonner
Yes, just in case I get a giant insect in my room!!!! Lol!
@@TheBonsaiZone hey you never know, you should see the size of the roaches I feed Fluffy lol
Have you changed your soil mix Nigel I have seen red stones or molar clay in your mix ..
It may have been some used soil mixed or a mixture of old or new.
I like that left side a lot it culd be nice front for tree.
can you help my trees 🌳 have a white head on it what is wrong with it
It sounds like sun burn? They should slowly be transitioned to the outdoor light.
I hope that spider does not keep getting bigger or you will find yourself on the menu.
👍🍎
that was hard to watch especially being that this was 6 yrs of growth cut back 😓😣
