Is this tree anything like the Crepe Myrtle? I have a Crepe Myrtle that I bought at a hardware store, I chose the Crepe Myrtle because the bark peels and it appears older. I haven't put it in a bonsai pot yet so I don't really know how it will react, I also don't know of any one with one.

I bought a rosemary from a little farm stand at the end of the season for about $2.50. I got it because I have lots of trees but no herbs. How do you style a rosemary? I looked at a few at work that I deal with that grow out side, they have been planted for a few years now and the trunks...

I baught two Ficuses that came in pot exactly like the ones you've shown. I got my Ficus Benjamina from a Walmart for about the same price. I broke the glued stones and threw away the pots...I had two pots that were the same that I got for $10 for the pair (which was a steal for the size they...

How frequently do they fertilize?

I have worked with the Deet chemical at my job before (I am a gardener by traid) so I am aware of how harmfull it is to plants in general. At work we have a general rule that if it looks bad or if it turns brown then it should be cut off, the plant will try to give energy back to the affected...

I think what this person is trying to say (but said it poorly) was that Bonsai is art, therefore people who are creative and like to work with there hands are most often the people who practice this art. People need a creative perspective on things to really bring out the Bonsai "look" in a tree...

I have several bonsai trees and plants, and they were doing rather well untill someone sprayed a large amount of "Off" bug spray on and around them. Does anyone know what to do about it? I have rinsed the plants off as best as I could but the leaves are all turning and I am afraid that they...
