Very thorough video, my friend! It's one I'll definitely be referring others to. Fantastic!

I don’t know how I ended up here, but now I have a crazy new respect for trees and want to get into bonsai.

Super video, very professional and I really liked the guide to species at the end! 15K, Go Bonsai Talk!

I have just started bonsai and I have planted my first bonsai which is a Sapota tree, hope I succeed in this job

I have textbook knowledge of plants, and I have done well caring for easier houseplants. I see the mass produced bonsai at the store, and one day I couldn’t help myself. I saw many plants labeled only “bonsai” on the outside portion of the closest garden center. It was cold and had rained heavily many days that week, and I couldn’t help but try to save one of these poor trees. I knew that bonsai trees can be very difficult, but I had no idea how difficult it could be until I came home and researched more.

I hope I can save this bonsai tree that I now know is a Fukien Tea tree. If I can find an experienced home for it, I will, although I live in a rural small town so that is unlikely. Thank you for helping me better understand the amazing art, and I hope I can allow this small and sad tree to one day thrive healthily.

What sets this video apart from all others is that it tells the beginner truly what they need to know. All of these other videos about pruning and wiring are not where the beginner should start. The first hurdle in bonsai is being aware that you have to learn to keep the trees alive once you have gotten them home, and that you may kill a lot of trees. That is what people need to be instructed in. I bought my first bonsai from a nursery and proceeded to kill it once it got home. I will never buy another bonsai, but rather collect them from nature. My advice is to get several specimens of one or two types of trees (I only do maples and pines) and to focus on keeping them alive.Great video...thanks.

Excellent video ! Our Bonsai is with fig trees, lemon trees, papaya, grape vines, olive trees and fragrant ... roses. Very different but very beautiful. Greetings from Greece.

Just pruned my friends Bonsai, without her 'lay me on hot coals !'. To be fair she would never know, she was surprised to see a small flower (as was I) after she has been away for a couple of weeks... all I did was water it a bit.
All I know is you water it when the soil feels dry, keep it out of direct light (Bonsai Talk has kindly put me straight), When you water it the water must be room temp and you must 'whaft the water on the plant' rather than just shove it under a slow running tap. I did two out of those three.
When pruning my first tree (in incognito mode you understand) I really quite enjoyed it. Small clips of tiny branches to strengthen the shape of the whole tree, that's the point right?... thinking of how it might grow, if I clip this small leaf will it give energy to this leaf and tiny branch, improve the shape in, let's say in a year or so? Have I made a right arse of it?
Long reply...sorry.
After pruning I went on youtube Bonsai. You came up. Fantastic vid, thank you. I have a Sirissa. Learnt so much. 
Cheers sunshine

[bonsaihunters]

Nice work teaching bonsai to beginners! Its amazing how simple bonsai can be, yet so intimidating at times. Keep on talkin bonsai!

[izabelaszydlowska]

one of the best bonsai intros I've seen. Thank you. I'm more of a succulent enthusiast myself, so a jade bonsai is most likely for me to pursue, however, I am also trying with a pelargonium.... anyway, thank you :)

Nice video! I’ve had a Chinese elm and juniper that I saved from Walmart now for 3 years now and just purchased another set of 3 Chinese elms I love those little trees, I know your video says they were hard for beginners but mine felt like it was fairly forgiving of my errors
