    New coastal redwood- suggestions?

    Having killed my very first bonsai within a week (due to a number of factors), I decided to get a couple more and they just arrived today.

    Help with identifying pest/fungus on needle juniper

    I have noticed these white and black spots on portions of my needle juniper and I have no idea what they are. They are mostly white and round, with a small black or brown dot in the middle. I have thoroughly inspected the entire tree and NOTHING is moving at all like pests or whatever. They...

    First bonsai- Needle juniper

    That's a good idea thanks. Actually that's where I went to get my bonsai, they seemed very helpful and had a huge selection.

    First bonsai- Needle juniper

    Hi there everyone, after doing quite a lot of homework I got my first bonsai today, a tiny little needle juniper. Since it is so young I haven't thought about what style I would like it to be. Right now it is just a big bundle of needles on top of a stick! There are so many interesting styles...
