  • Season 7 Episode 25 - Mindset of Working Small Bonsai, Wiring Tip
    Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuI have found that your mindset when working on 'small' bonsai needs to be very different as to when you work on the larger species. A little foliage extension can make a big difference when the bonsai is only 20cm wide but if it's 70cm wide you will barely notice. So you need to approach the work on the smaller bonsai with a few key thoughts in mind. How do you create separations and not simply work it as a blob, is there too much back budding, is it too crowded. Wiring your bonsai is an essential tool we use to create beautiful and strong bonsai. I have a simple tip for your primary wire application that will help with your secondary wiring.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

  • Season 7 Episode 24 - Yamadori Again, Deciduous Winter Study, After Major Work care
    Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuDeciduous bonsai look their best in their winter silhouette, there is no where to hide! Use this opportunity to identify areas for improvement before the foliage returns in the near future. And if you have over worked a bonsai, what should you do? How do you adjust your care to help the tree heal and move on from the shock of what you have done. Yamadori is always a hot topic and I have a little delve into responsible sourcing and how consumers and bonsai lovers need to make the right decisions. There are people doing it the right way and they should be supported.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

  • Season 7 Episode 23 - Bonsai Scars from the Past, Winter Protection Strategies
    Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuWe all have scars from our past, it makes us human and our bonsai history is scattered with ‘things I wouldn’t do again’. You can learn from these scars but don’t let them hold you back from achieving something pretty fantastic. Winter is upon us and the thoughts about winter protection for your sensitive species need to become a priority before something happens to your bonsai. I chat about classifying your bonsai and also working within the constraints of your bonsai area to develop the best possible care strategy. There are lots of options for you to offer winter protection to your delicate bonsai.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

  • Season 7 Episode 22 - Bonsai Priorities, Japanese White Pines, Bonsai Don'ts!
    Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuWe are all busy! But your bonsai need you. How and where do you allocate your time for them? You need to look at what is most important right now and prioritise that task, whether it's weeding or pruning, repotting or fertilising. By using your limited time wisely you and your bonsai will feel great. Japanese White Pines are a little misunderstood and I find they are unique in our care approach, as well as simple once you know the formula. I'll break it down so it's as simple as possible. And not to be negative I have some Bonsai Don'ts to discuss that I promise are positive.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web

  • Season 7 Episode 21 - Developing Bonsai in Bite Size Chunks, Trunk Selection and Perspective
    Contact Scott from Bonsai MatsuSeeing the end target for your bonsai in the developmental stage can be challenging. Breaking the development of your bonsai into bite size chunks can be so helpful in keeping everything on track. Perspective in any form of design is so important. When reviewing your bonsai, your perspective will allow you to see completely different designs and ultimately make the best decision for the future path you will take with your bonsai. Angle, tilt, height, distance are all valuable.Support the showBecome a podcast supporter and show the Bonsai Love (it's really appreciated) ❤️https://www.buzzsprout.com/263290/supportWhere to find Bonsai Matsu:InstagramFacebookYouTube Web
