Restoring an Old Neglected Bald Cypress Bonsai - ASMR

( EDIT - The camera was accidently set to 720p to record :) , going old school here lol )
I dabble in a lot of things and in my first venture into Bonsai on KZread I restore my very neglected Bald Cypress named "Pharaoh" after my late great Dane.
Think about become a Patreon so I can devote more time to this channel and provide even more content for you as this take a lot of time, despite already working a full time job and really enjoying doing this channel! patreon.com/Gi...
I simply do Bonsai in parallel with my busy life as a way to relax and connect to nature. I approach bonsai with a very simple approach, simple tools, and just start working.
More updates to come, and thank you for watching.

    That is one hell of a bonsai, the Nebari is outstanding! Would love to see this one mid summer.

    Deadwood is either a love or hate. I may carve it later down the road but for now I like it.

    It’s beautiful. Too bad about the pot placement, but it gives you an opportunity to search for just the right pot. Great branch decisions. Did you collect this tree?

    Looking great ! Is regular bonsai soil to dry for this species?

    It all depends on your watering schedule - I use a heavy organic soil so it stays moist all day. Some people put them in a tub of water as they can grow in water in nature.
