I tried to take some leaves and put them in water, they did not grow in to plants or show any roots. ill try a cutting of 3 leaves.

True. baby steps. test plant. till i have a real bonsai. As soon as i see a tree ill grab it

what if i keep triming down the new growth?

Ill read through those blogs. The guy seems hard core though with MH lights and all. My benjamina and especially my jade seem to love this light! I see a a lot of growth. Not sure what to do with them now? Im thinking of pruning down the benjamina again to get a better shape maybe...

These are so cool . They are just like bonsais ! Unfortunately They are too small for the space i have to fill. But I was thinking maybe it would be better to have a bunch of these put together on a rock or cliff like rock. I don't get it though. How can they be so small. im looking at...

Thanks just to let you know both plants are alive and well. the jade seems to be growing very fast, maybe twice the size.. ill post some pics soon. Im told the jades a slow grower on top of it. And I keep the bulb on randomly through the day (not a good idea im sure) Ill see if i bump in...

Wow these are really great ! Why cant I just buy one like this for cheap ? Are these indoor or out door ? you think they would grow under my florescent bulb with a 6400 spectrum ? If so i would definitely buy these seeds. you did a good job with them. Love the first one

I'm down for the bonsai thing, just not down to blow a couple of 100$'s The Benjamina and jade are doing well. the jade im told is a slow grower but im sure it has doubled in size since my last post ! But yes these are not bonsai. Maybe ill keep my eye open for a big tree with roots laying...

Yes it was my fav out of the bunch. I was told it was a lemon cyprus. It died a while ago. i was hoping the light would bring some green to it. It really was nice looking. But i think the needles turn in to leaves like a Ceder or something. I got it for 5$ it was half dead with spiders on...

I have a baby jade and was want to play around with and see what happens. If any of you can give me ideas on what would happen that would be most beneficial. 1. I want to hide the lower leafs from the light.. put some dark material around the top so only the top gets light. I imagine lower...

Hi, I have a baby ficus and was want to play around with and see what happens. If any of you can give me ideas on what would happen that would be most beneficial. 1.cut off the stem an inch or two from the ground so all leaves are gone. 2. cut off half the leaves. I am wondering what it...

If you look in the back ground of my picture you will see my dieing evergreen lemon cypress thingy. If it would of survived, i think it really did look like a real tall evergreen. If I had been able to separate out the trunks some how (even if half the tree would of been lost) I think it would...

I think those are sufficient to start. your leaves are really small. Im not sure why their are so few leaves though. a bit more greenage and it could look kinda like a tree. Its no bonsai, but put a bunch of them together on a rock that looks like a cliff and i think that would be appealing to...

you think a fluorescent in that spectrum could be enough ? Id like to think i bought it from a reputable person. (I don't want to add a balas)

Thanks for the heads up. I really thought that the animation on the front of the package was a bit to happy. I usually would not have bought it. But this bulb was actually one of those fluorescent bulbs that fit in a regular bulb socket. on the back it shows what light spectrum it gives off on a...
