Kisetsu-en video magazine released
There is so much work behind every monthly release so it really is a relief when it is out. 🙂Â
Now it´s time to talk about the content.
Today I will focus on the daily care of bonsai when describing the content.
Watering and fertilizing strategies need extra care during the hot summer months. Neglecting this will decline the health of your trees.
Therefore I focus on that but also brings in some styling tips especially for the summer period.
Having holidays may give some time to do that and enjoy the bonsai at the same time.
After the work with your trees remember to relax and enjoy. A thing I sometimes forget is to sit and watch trees. Although I preach it all the time, I also forget.
In the eagerness of creating and working with the trees. But as an artist of any craft, it is important to lean back and observe. This way you see what you missed in the working process.
The details. The bark. The nebari. The movement. The overall beauty of the tree.

Thanks for another insightful set of videos. It was great to see your approach to building foliage pads, there were definitely 2 shoots that i would not have thought twice about removing but will now be more considerate and less rigid with the “rules”
i liked your work on the Picea, that is the sort of material i would probably have overlooked in the past as i would have thought there was too many dead branches.
Kind regards
Andrew

I am pleased you find it useful. Yes, simple material can be challenging but also a lot of fun.
