Thanks anyways and for reading the post! I did find this resource which has helped a bit: http://bonsai4me.com/AdvTech/ATChoosing%20the%20Right%20Pot%20for%20your%20Bonsai.htm I'll post a pic when I make a decision and get it planted! Cheers, Payton

Picked up this Jade Bonsai and last night the winds picked up and knocked it over and out of its training pot with all of the soil along with it... since I have to basically repot it now anyways I was going to put it in something that fits its style and now I'm stuck. Any suggestions on styles?

kind of hard to get the focus with them moving around so quickly. they are the little tan oval shapes if that helps at all lol

Here are some pics!

Dario- thanks! I'll look into trying the milk solution. Dusty- I'm a little more relieved now! Thank you! Your link didn't work though. In my case, the mights move pretty quick (then again I don't know how a slow mite moves lol) and like I said they are in the soil. They emerged when I...

At work :P can't grab a picture until this evening but I looked up mites on google and they look pretty similar... friend or foe? and if foe, best way to (ex)TERMINATE!

Hey all! Orange County Juniper nana and I have little red/tan bugs (very tiny) scurrying around in the soil (can't see too many on the tree itself). Recommended pesticide or solutions?? Don't want to loose this tree especially to some little critters that may be eating away at it! I acquired...

Thanks for the info! I'll be sure to make it out and check out the nursery too! I'm traveling for a week and Northridge is a little over an hour away from me but I'll make that trek!

So seeing as how "most" of us lose a mallsai or two before catching on to the fact that there is much more to the craft than just looking at it, I thought I would present this unique question. What are some unique things that you have done with your dead bonsai? Anyone do aquascaping...

Thanks! Yeah we did some work on it together at the nursery. The guy was very helpful. I was told to keep the wire on for three months before removing but to make sure it doesn't begin to cut into the branches or trunk. We used a soil they make in house and then put lava on top. We did a full...

Here are some more pics for you to see.

So after a year, I sadly lost my "mallsai" juniper that I had moved from Phoenix to SoCal. I have been working mainly on educating myself over the past year before moving on to another bonsai. But now I have another nana but this time from House of Bonsai. (Place seems great, very helpful...

awesome thank you so much. I found them a few days ago and planned on joining to get some more mentorship. The tree will remain outdoors and I'll plan on keeping it there! How about any insight to the roots? (Pics posted below)

I recently acquired this Juniper and I have a few concerns about it that I am still trying to figure out (been working with bonsai off and on for years and never took it seriously until now). First, I can't quite determine what kind of Juniper it is but I think it is a Juniperus procumbens...
