This tree in nature always blows my mind! I just got a little one at a nursery for $5 and am playing with it... New to bonsai, long time gardener

Amazing box store enrty ! And your signature line amuses me so much that I may need to use that!

Thank you for "callistemon ". Oddly I saw them all over the place today. Even parked my car next to an amazing one ...

Gorgeous bonsai, and a lovely pot... I hope what I've done is right - I haven't been able to hook up with any clubs but I have bonsai fever. The BB is leaning on the drain pipe outside my pool screen. It will get morning sun, mid day shade then bright blast afternoon, if its not raining

Thank you. I discovered a VERY root bound rootball with roots wrapped around the trunk so Im glad I didn't just slip it. It was a mess - I only cut one branch down by one segment and took off the dead wood. Since I want it to be a slant style. I went ahead and angled it in the pot that is...

Slip pot,?.. I saw a you tube video of a lemon tree in a colander...inside a bigger pot packed with potting soil around the edges.... Is that slip pot.. I don't have the supplies at the ready so it's going into a bigger pot for now on a slant but standing straight. Then I'm going to swap shop...

I have a nub near the base. A bit of nebari quality perhaps

After washing out the roots i found a girdling root that i tried to unwind but broke so i cut it clean and this nubby section is the nebari that is here.. SO Shoukd i leave that exposed or pack soil around it???

So I just want to clarify... Cut two tall branches to be more like the left branch in heigh at the section or in between the nodes.?. Quick draining soil, rocks ?. Should I used any potting soil?. Colander style?. .with potting soil around edges?.

So put it in a bigger pot??? It is quite rootbound

I found this bottle brush today and think I got a good deal on it for $5. Should i put it in a bigger pot? Top it?? Its in a 6 inch pot and is 40 inches tall. I'd like it to be slanting style but open to ideas

I'm not 13 ... But haven't figured out how to edit that

Bet it will repair nicely

I checked at Miami Bonsai FB page and saw ALL of their bougies get the moss treatment... Maybe I can relocate it onto my black olive?...

We checked but they had their monthly meeting the day we purchased so we have to wait until next month...
