I bought this tree as a braided tree with 4 trunks coiled together. Well I took them apart a few months ago and now the have grown in top soil, pine bark, and builders sand. I am not sure if any of you have heard of someone doing this but I thought it didn't look very 'Bonsai'ish to me. They...

Found this SEVIN-5 Ready-To-Use. Made by GardenTech. Idk if it's safe on my plants so I came to you all :) Also for the thrips, I removed all infected leaves and now waiting to see if they come back. If they do, I will defoliate all the leaves (since they need it anyways) and again see if...

The only time I do re-pot is when they are not doing well or their roots are too well packed in the pot it came in. I have not re-potted any plants twice to rush things. All my trees have been in these pots since I bought them and much longer before then. That's why I want the soil so I can...

I want to have these ingredients at hand for my plants since I have 12 pre-bonsai plants that I will be putting into plastic bonsai pots till I get the ceramic pots. I will be acquiring Eric's soil when I travel there this summer. But with 12 plants, I need a good amount of soil and I have a...

I looked online for the long-fiber so I will have to go tomorrow and get it. I don't know why but I'm leaning toward the Tropical Mimosa... And doesn't boxwood smell like cat pee?!:eek:

Went to Lowe's, I told them Black Medallion mulch and they brought me to this black COLORED mulch.. I swear, these people in Florida are not very smart. So I went to Home Depot (Love them much better), and they said they didn't have it. So I think I might just go for the snake bedding mulch...

Hmm.. alright. I might have to consider getting it. A few new questions!: Is there a such thing as a Croton Bonsai? My Ginseng Ficus has those thrips still, what should I use to get rid of them? My whole table like thingy that I keep my plant are have a lot of ants, what should I use to get...

Is this something I could use? http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752664 (Not advertised)

Same here. I don't know where you can buy pine fines in New York. Sorry.:eek:

I guess I can go out today and look. I know people say that Moltan is helpful. I can buy Cactus Soil and mix it with the Moltan for now. Then when I go to Wigert's this summer, I think I'll buy atleast 5 galloons of soil (just to hold me to after christmas). So I can then buy bulk of things...

I thought I posted my age before but I guess not. :) I did some looking around, non of the hardware stores or Lowes/Home Depot had anything small enough like Hardwood mulch... I guess I'm out of luck... I could make a sifter if I had something to sift.:confused:

You mean the Genuine Parts Company? And I guess I'll go look for that stuff. There is no where near me that has 'composted pine bark'. But I know Home Depot sells 'Pine Bark Nuggets'. Is that the same? And unless I buy haydite online, there is nowhere near that sells it. Any substitutions...

Do you think the tree will be okay till around June/July in that soil? I will be heading to Wigerts Bonsai Nursery during the summer.

Your very welcome. That's what were here for! To give help and to get help. :) I'm hoping everything goes well with your tree. Best of luck!

I didn't think anyone knew about his place but actually I'm visiting his place this summer. I can't do any classes though since they start at 9am and my parents have to bring me. (I AM ONLY 14) I have talked to Erik and Andrea (his wife) about coming this summer. They will be meeting with me...
