Amazing video Dan! And we look forward you showing us the progress in a year or two! Who knew this was possible never seen anyone do this. So the cocktail was fertilizer and rooting hormone's in simple terms. Really useful technique to see. Huge thank you Dan sharing your knowledge

Hi Dan, I am from Australia and the first book I read about Bonsai was yours when I was 16. I loved the photos of you in your flares and Afro hair. But it was all for the northern hemisphere so I looked for books by Australian bonsai artists and found Dorothy Koreshoff's book (I have Debora's book too)and she taught Debora everything she knew about bonsai, and literally wrote the book on Australian native plant bonsai, I was taught by Dorothy and worked at Korreshoff Bonsai nursery when it still was around. I have a few things I do differently that you may or may not be interested in, it seems to be working for you. 1 I use a hard wood rooting hormone gel and a brush I don't have access to syringes. 2 I use a turned upside down plastic plant pot with the bottom cut off and cut to height, and with a cut down one side, and wire wrapped around the outside of the pot to secure it instead of mesh and plastic wrap, the black plastic plant pot is harder for our Australia wildlife to destroy and it encourages roots to grow thicker and faster because of the darkness it the gives the roots. 3 I cut a little vertical cut in the cambium above the hole. Hope this helps and thanks for starting me on my bonsai adventure.

Really interesting method to encourage roots to form on the areas you want them to grow, never seen that done before but it does make sense as every thing you do from your vast experience. Thank you Dan, a lovely garden on a lovely day.

Amazing technique! I imagine that the rooting hormone and the match sticks stay moist due the the matchsticks wicking up the moisture. very interesting indeed. Thank you for the video, always appreciate it!

It should, as the summer leaves on your tre will send down all the necessary 'goodies' from the tree's leaves to help encourage root production.

I've never used it with conifers so can't give you an honest answer but I think the resin in conifers may seal off the hormone gel.
