It could be a way to move product, for the record. I got a big thing of rooting powder 10 years ago, just ran out of it last year. Still had great luck rooting dwarf varieties that never rooted without hormone, so it seemed to still work to me. The thing is, if you keep it dry and...

If you try it again, take off the dead tips, thin out the dead needles, then wire the branches, but leave all the foliage on the tips at this point. you just want light to penetrate where it couldn't before. then pot them in slightly bigger pots with good soil, lightly combing the roots to...

Just wanted to show a picture of the trident maples I cut hard to lines this winter and how much they are growing. these have 4 to 9 inch trunks and 6 to 15 inch bases! So happy to have these. Just put them up for sale at the shop and already sold 9. They arn't on the website since they are...

Second one is Ficus microcarpa or Ficus "retusa", depending on which publication you read from which year. F. microcarpa is the current and most used now. Leaves will get a bit smaller with correct bonsai care and conditions.

First one is a procumbens "nana"

Doing it yourself saves money, no doubt. If you decide to go the " buy it already mixed" route, there are a lot of quality sources on the internet. We have some on sale at the shop and on the website. Its an inorganic mix, but you may decide to add organics to it. Our sale ends this month...

Just wanted to show what the trident looked like after its second trim for season. Thing is growing like crazy and the season has just gotten started! Cant wait.

that's a good idea. My first Sensei just had 6 of his trees stolen by the landscapers. He is in a HOA that is VERY strict on who gets in. Unfortunately, there are still those with no morals.

Actually, this was in a different post. how did it get here?
