I have a moisture meter that I stick in the soil so I know exactly when to water because for me that is the hardest part of keeping the tree healthy.

I decided a month or so that development and health is one of the more important factors of a good tree and moved all my trees into larger pots.

Very helpful thank you. As a newbie I'm trying to learn as much as I can.

Bonsai and carnivorous plants both lead to "Add to Cart" syndrome. I'd say get 1 - 3 different trees to start with, work with them for 2 - 4 years and if you did well and want more, that's the time to add.

You know I agree totally. But I break every rule I can. I have over 100 trees in development, I can stay with it well. I have a verity, it’s fun and adventurous. I take trees from nature all the time anytime of year. I have a 90% success rate. I’m always experimenting and it’s fun. But then I’m not your average guy.

Great video bonsai-en. I am a culprit for over watering

[mehranashkanian]

What about Juniper ? Does it need a lot of water even if the drainage is good?
Also can I place it in direct sun all day? I have put it in a shaded area in my garden but that part of my garden never get full sun
Pls guide me
Thanks

Even buying young pre-Bonsai from some of the more reputable Bonsai nurseries here in the states, ( yes, the so called experts here on You Tube ) they will ship your tree to you in a bonsai pot. Never understood this. Maybe to justify the ridiculously high cost for such a young, undeveloped, untrained tree???
This year, I bought a very small Hinoki, maybe 3.5" tall, and it was put into a glazed 4" pot. Over the winter, I will have to re-pot into a nursery pot so that maybe in a few years, I will have a something to work with.

Ive bought 28trees and collected tonnes of seedlings n whips n cuttings i have about 400 all up.. just enough before its overwhelming

modern substrates make it virtually impossible to overwater unless you have no clue how to water a tree.

I have found it difficult to find an authoritative source of information on specific tree species, such as ph needs, known care regimens. There is so much general information out there, but not much that gets into the science of each tree. Anyone have any suggestions?

Subbed. What do you use to edit your videos? Just started a YouTube channel. Looks like you have a great camera set up as well. What do you use?

[cliffordgoodrich]

Another of your highly informative videos. However, how many trees are too many? It's an interesting question. It may be better to have a number of trees rather than just one or two. If you have several trees, you tend to be more responsible about caring for them since you have so many. With only one or two, you may get lazy since you don't have to dedicate much time to care for them.

Today it rained on and off for about half the day on my juniper. That wouldn't be overwatering? Or should I put it under shelter on rainy days
