I tried Opera from my iPhone. I was able to select an image from my photos but I had problems because the size was too big. So I resized an image on my laptop, which completely defeats the purpose but I wanted to try anyway, and gave it a shot. It acted like it was uploading, but in the end...

lol, sorry, that wasn't my intention, just didn't want anyone to think I was blowing smoke.

You're absolutely right, there is no true Flash Player for iOS. Flash based file uploaders simply will not work. But Safari on iOS also does not support even a simple HTML based file uploader as it doesn't support the HTML input tag with type file... <input type="file" .../>. Opera on iOS does...

There is a solution... don't use Safari on iOS. Unfortunately it does not support file uploads via a standard file input control or Flash, as mentioned. What Apple was thinking not supporting such basic functionality is beyond me -- my only guess is that they want to force people to build and...

Such a gorgeous tree. Ever since I saw this back in April I've been enamored with Larch. Now if I could just find one for my collection.

The good news is that you'll get to water and fertilize more often. :) If, however, you find you're having to water too often you can always add more moisture retentive components to your mix. I think someone already covered this though, I can't keep track anymore.

I've never used it, but weetree sells black lava rock, http://www.weetree.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=901. I have ordered the red as well as pumice from them. Of course, I imagine you should be able to find all this stuff locally, something I have a difficult time with. I'd encourage you...

Super helpful, thanks Rob. 1/2 - 3/4" in 10 years sounds painful. This may end up in the ground next season, assuming it survives my styling education. :) And with the amount of fun I had with this, I'm now on the look out to find a larger one to work with. I did wire a couple more of the...

Hey Goosetown, Hang in there, everyone means well and is just trying to help, even when it doesn't feel that way. The community, from what I've experienced, is very generous in sharing their hard earned knowledge and experience. Everyone is going to do things a little differently. From...

Looks like you've already re-potted, so this may be coming a bit late, but... If you haven't already studied re-potting, soil amendments, root growth requirements, etc. I'd suggest you do that before moving forward with anything else. Once you have a solid grasp on these concepts everything else...

Thanks for sharing all. lol, yeah, it took forever. The roots were a tangled mess. But, I was able to remove nearly all of the old soil while only removing maybe 1% of the roots. I like the 4th pic for the front as well. Originally I was working with the 5th as the front, but after snapping...

Up until this point in my bonsai journey I've mostly been playing horticulturalist. It's been a fantastic ride and I am learning so much. A big thanks to such a wonderful community and all the the knowledge that has been shared. This last weekend I decided it was time to start cutting my...

I had to deal with Adelgid on my spruce. I went over the entire tree and picked off (and squished) all the little patches of white fluff and then sprayed with insecticide. It was a bit laborious, but I read somewhere (I think it was these forums) that this white fluff provides some protection...

I realize this thread is over 2 years old, but I saw a few Acer glabrum at the nursery today, a couple with some great nebari, and was curious about the species. Not sure about their suitability for bonsai, but every source I've found lists their toxicity level as none with the exception of one...

Or a dog. I would think a Cane Corso would suffice. :)
