How to Make Bonsai for Beginners 🌲*EASY*

In this Beginner Bonsai Video, we will show you How to Easily Create a Bonsai Tree from Cedar of Lebanon!

Hi, everyone! I am excited to share another video filmed in my friend Attila Csintalan's garden. Creating Bonsai may seem complicated if you are new to it, but in this step-by-step video, we will show you how you can easily do it yourself in your own garden. You don't need any fancy Bonsai tools to get started, and Bonsai wire/Aluminum wire is relatively cheap in smaller rolls.

The young material with a long, straight trunk that we are working with is easy to find in the majority of garden centers and nurseries, with a variety of species. So, this is a great one for beginners in Bonsai!

When I first got started in Bonsai, I thought that Bonsai were specific trees from Japan. But the surprising reality is that ANY tree can be made into a Bonsai, though trees with naturally "small growing" foliage definitely make the job easier!

The species of tree used in this video is called Cedrus Libani, also commonly known as "Cedar of Lebanon." Whatever species you use, remember to look up care guides on how to ensure the tree is at optimal health!

Always good to see bonsai being shaped. Would love to see more classic upright styles 🙏

So a long time ago i got a bonsai kit and it had many different types of seeds anyways i was waiting till summer to do it because i had school and i lost it so i became uninterested any way 2 years later i found your chanel again because i used to watch you all the time and coincidentally i found the kit and now i am growing a royal poinciana i find your videos very interesting and i love watching them me personally i think your videos are the best bonsai videos on youtube

[cycleSCUBA]

Great video guys. Garden centre trees are where most bonsai growers are likely to get their trees, so your guidance is ideal.
An amazing transformation of the tree.
👍

You guys are amazing. I would love to do something like this 🌱❤🙏

[jackthefarmer]

As a beginner, I loved the video. Thank you very much. Now, I can go the local nursery and choose one or two trees to work on.

[ManfredStassar]

Thank you for this video. It is explained and demonstrated in an exemplary manner. I googled the translation..hi..I am German

In general, you don't want S-Curves in Bonsai. It always looks manmade or like a ficus from a garden center. Short, mass-market bonsai.
And a good advice here, put at least one trunk wire to the bottom to the pot, not a little bit. you risk to tear apart the roots or uproot it while bending.
other than that, cedars are well made for beginners. planning to buy about 20 in spring to develop a group/rock planting.
keep it up!

[jamshedjawed]

i am new on this topic and it will definitely going to help me out

[BrandonCattleMan-jyed]

Very interesting content, I'm currently starting my own bonsai journey with an Eastern red cedar sapling I transplanted a few months back. I will return to your channel for more advice and tips

[XaviersBonsaiRetreat]

Nice video Adam. Big thing to remember with these is they have really soft bark so scar very easily from wire. They also tend to be quite a slow tree to develop to maturity (from my experience). Love your final design :)

Really happy to have stumbled upon your channel. Newly subscribed and learning a lot. Thanks so much!
