Transforming wild Elegance nursery Jangle jalebi plant into Beautiful Bo...

The plant name is Pithocellobium or manila tamarind or Jangli Jiledi. Brought from a nursery, I was attracted to the leaf's color and butterfly-like leaves. Always use sharp and clean tools when pruning to avoid damaging the tree. Take your time and step back occasionally to assess the overall shape and balance. Remember that bonsai pruning is an art, and it's important to strike a balance between maintaining the tree's health and creating a visually appealing landscape. Occasionally, top pruning (removing the apical bud or tip) can help control the height and encourage lateral branching, promoting a fuller and more compact appearance. Different species of bonsai may require specific timing for pruning. Generally, spring and early summer are good times for major pruning, while light maintenance pruning can be done throughout the growing season. Regularly inspect your bonsai for pests and diseases. Pruning can also involve removing infected or damaged parts to prevent the spread of issues. Perform regular pruning to maintain the desired shape and size of the bonsai. This helps control the growth and ensures that the tree remains in proportion with its container. Turning a nursery plant into a bonsai is a rewarding process that requires patience and ongoing care. With time and attention, you can cultivate a stunning miniature tree that reflects your artistic vision. Gently remove the plant from its nursery container, carefully not to disturb the roots excessively. Root Pruning: Trim the roots to promote a compact root system. Remove any circling or overly long roots. This encourages the plant to develop a more shallow and dense root structure suitable for a bonsai. The soil in this area where the growing plant is dense and clay-like, making it difficult to remove with a rake as it is not loose. In the case of loose soil, removal would have been easier. However, since the roots are deeply embedded in the sticky clay soil, the most effective method to remove excess soil around the trunk is to use a hexa or a saw to cut through the soil. This way, the goal is to keep the roots near the trunk without causing any disturbance to them. To encourage fibrous root growth, it is necessary to remove some of the large, mature, and thick roots that have developed around the pot. It is essential to remove both the entangled roots and the old soil to facilitate the development of a healthier root system. And the plant shifted into a Bonsai pot with fresh Bonsai soil. Here we are seeing the plant after 15 days of repotting. Now the plant lost some of the leaves after repotting. it's normal for plants to temporarily stop growing after repotting, This is because repotting can be stressful for plants. The stress can cause roots to get damaged and fail to absorb enough water, which can lead to wilting leaves. This is known as transplant shock. Here are some tips for helping your plant recover after repotting: • Water thoroughly after repotting to help the soil settle around the plant's roots. • Place plants in a cooler, shadier spot during the recovery period. • Don't fertilize or overwater during this time as the roots need to recover. • Mist the leaves with water to help increase humidity around the plant. Plants will recover in 2–4 weeks. We have seen the step-by-step development of Jangli jalebi, as it progresses, I will share with you the development of the Bonsai. Thank you, friends, for watching. We will meet you in the next video. Till that time take care and have a great weekend.
