I like bonsai, I don't have much bonsai collection, by watching this video I am motivated to add to my bonsai collection

Started doing bosai during the beginning of covid, happy to say i have two baby pines that I collected from the forrest, 7 apples i grew from seed. And 2 cherrys grabbed from my neighbors! Apple bonsais and my cherrys have been doing the best out of all of them! They grow really fast, are pretty bendable within the first year/ year and a half, of growing they survive wintertime well and bloom beautifully in the spring summer. The blossums are an eye catcher and theyll even sometimes grow fruit! But that can take years

If you’re in the us you can get dwarf jade as a hanging plant at all the big box stores. Just picked one up for $10 at Walmart and it’s probably 20+ cuttings well rooted in one container. So have your pick and you have 19+ others to play around with for $10. They grow fast and if you want more just plant the tops you cut off!

Here in SA the Jade is a You can get them everywhere, priced less than a cup of coffee. Current exchange Two small plants 10cm for a Nearly every child grows one from a cutting at some stage for school project or just for fun.... spekboom by the way = bacon

I bought. Juniper. I could use some advise on this little tree

[jaxonsaledrab]

Thank you! Very informative and easy to to understand.

I have to agree that jade is really easy. I have one and I forgot to water it for like two months. It is still alive. I'm going to re-pot it hydroponically.

I just got a Japanese Maple bonsai so I hope it turns out well

[marieg]

Hi! I really want to succeed with a bonsai and I have failed a lot of times (the trees has died). And I have now ordered an elephant bush. But I wonder if you could explain about what bonsai soil I should use and how often you shall repot the plant. I want to have a maple tree. But how do I succeed?

[scootermom]

I never realized how large some bonsai trees are. I always thought of them as no bigger than 6 to 9 inches.

[williamrejczyk]

Bougainvillea if you live in Phoenix az

[minibonsai]

Thank you for the information. Do you recommend bougainvillea bonsai for beginners?

[Jrenfroe]

Hi, I stumbled down the rabbit hole of bonsai. Stumbled across this video and I’ve been hooked ever since. I’m looking at getting a Juniper this fall from a local nursery (prebonsai). Any advice? Should I wait until spring? Do I trim when I buy? Do I wait? I’m lost

[joegarland]

Lonicera nitida are probably the easiest trees to keep, they grow very quickly and are very forgiving.

[BONSAIenCORTO]

I killed a pyracanta is a great spiece, and, in general, decidious trees are easier.

[jamesgardner]

What’s a good bonsai tree for beginners and safe for cats?

[aperezchinglong]

i just started bonsai and i already got a full grown juniper bonsai…it was $16, 000 dollars and i don’t even take care of it and it’s dead now! LOL

Chinese Elm - Ulmus Parvifolia
Cotoneaster
Portolucaria - Jade

[stephenbrown]

A few more: 1) common boxwood. 2) In North America, we have type of Holly called Yaupon that is used as shrub. It has tiny leaves, good ramification, trunk thickens quickly and is tolerant of neglect. Plus you can readily find it in garden centers. 3) Fukien Tea, just don’t let them get too dry. 4) for those wanting to try indoor, Ficus Benjaminina, in most garden stores

[BackGardenBonsai]

Gotta agree with those 3 choices. All pretty indestructible and fast growing. Can’t really beat them. Id maybe put olives in 4th place. They are fairly hardcore too 👍👍
