Thank you so much for this playlist 🥳 my amazing wife bought me one yesterday and no idea how they grow etc. So this will be vèy handy indeed! Thanks again Dave 🙏🏼

i just started the art of bonsai a month ago and its a Fukien Tea tree. really learned a lot through the systemic balance and counterbalance you've expressed. really appreciate that systems thinking vocalization you've provided. thanks, Dave! :)

Great video!! Fukien teas are very fun to work on

Wow that tree looks fantastic now!

You should put a tiny swing on your tree.

Just got a Fukien and it's my first. This video was quite helpful as I'm trying to figure out wtf it is I'm supposed to do next. I want to cut, but as a guy who had a hell of a time growing a beard (and loves his smoker), I know that patience is key. :)

This tree is pretty new to me too. The odd thing is after this trim, the tree has stopped growing. It might stay that way until I get it outside again this spring. I'll keep everyone updated.

I like telling people what my Bonsai was, they’d look at me thinking I said the F word since I don’t curse lol

Mine just bloomed. First spring I’ve had it.

Nice! Mine is slowly starting to grow again after that prune. I can't wait to get it outside for some sun.

Dave's Bonsai Same here still a little chilly yet here to put it outside. I was so excited when my Japanese red maple sapling I have been working on made it through the winter and is full of a lot more growth than last year when I purchased it from a discount store to try my hand at the bonsai art. It looked really rough last year. Now it finally looks like it’s more healthy.

Cool. After I cut mine, it's done exactly what it did last year in my plant room. Did not grow an inch. Since this video, not an inch. But I know it will come back to life in the summer outside.

If the tree is healthy, you can cut most of the branches off completely or down to a couple of leaves. Some feel the longer you let it grow, the more girth you get at trunks bottom. Pick a branch you like and let that one with a few leaves on it and cut the others off if it doesn’t make the shape you desire,

I've used grow lights by FEIT Electric (9w flood lights in reflector cans), also the UNIFUN full specrtrum light with the white/red/blue LEDs. I recently ordered another brand with bigger wattage from Roleadro (75w). I have noticed a difference with that larger watt system. Keep them 6-10 inches above plants

hey did you propagate these cuttings?

That I do not know. But my cats would ruin all my trees, so I have an indoor plant room to keep them away from my cats.
