Flame tree Bonsai care (Delonix regia)

In this video we explain how to care for your Flame tree Bonsai. Watering, pruning, fertilizing - all these topics are discussed. Keeping a Flame tree (Delonix regia bonsai) alive is not a difficult task, but there are a few things you should be aware of. For more information, also check:

Bonsai trees are planted in small pots with minimal space for water and nutrient reserves. That means you need to water and fertilize your tree regularly. Make sure your Bonsai gets plenty of light, water, and fertilize when needed and your tree is sure to thrive!

This video was filmed in the Japanese garden of Clingendael. If you are not entirely sure about your tree species, you can use this guide to ID your Bonsai:

Mine has been growing in the same pot for a couple years now. I placed a layer of rocks on the bottom so it prunes the roots actively maybe a 3 inch layer of soil above the rock. To re pot will be rather easy for one my first seedling bonsai.

Your property is of my dreams and i think its beautiful. I commend your hard work and efforts to provide content for everyone. Its truly some of the best. I love the feel of the videos taking place under the canopy of the forrest your property sits. Thankyou for that view into your personal space.

I use these images in my mind to help manifest this for my future as its exactly my desires to have a forrest property. Its called a mind movie, its a new thing im learning about.

Jah live,

I grew 6 of these from seed about a year ago and have had some luck propogating my cuttings. Ive propogated 5 new trees successfully, however ive failed with probably 10. The key is to not leave them in water for too long since the roots won't really stretch out in water and the tree will eventually die before any real root growth. And also there's definitely a minimum cutting size.

I've got a flame tree about a year old that hasn't shown much growth and is only about eight inches tall. I've been thinking about planting it outside in a garden bed for the growing season. Is this something I should try?

This one is really hard to train especially wiring the branch. The branch keeps breaking

I have a flame tree 10 months old that was growing like crazy; it's 18" tall and that is with some curve, it would probably be 20" had I let it grow straight. A week ago I had nice and big 7-8 branches that just died and fell off. Now new ones are growing from top. In general it's been dropping lower branches as it grows taller. It's still in a very small starter pot that's only 4x4 inches. I was going to repot it in spring when it turns 1 year old but I think I have to do it already. It also is getting too tall so I think maybe I should just cut it in half or just take 1/3 off. Not sure what to do exactly. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. This is my first tree so I don't know much. It's inside and does not get much Sun but I have LED lights set up, not sure if these LED lights are enough though now that it's so big. Thanks

When is the best time to repot (Month) I have two of these I grew from seeds

[MrClarkeGaber]

These are not appropriate at all for bonsai IMO. They're gargantuan trees with an insanely rapid and vigorous growth rate and no portion of tnem will reduce properly (or at all really).
