    I have springtails. Should I be concerned?

    I just noticed that I have some tiny silvery white bugs in my soil. With a little research I've identified them as springtails. From what I read they are not much of a danger and in fact can be a good thing in small numbers as they eat mold and rotten stuff. There are not that many of them, from...

    How often to feed ficus with slow release?

    I have used slow release on this particular bonsai for many years. I am not a stranger to it. I just got to wondering if perhaps I was using too much or too little. I assumed that the bonsai's needs would be different from your average potted plant so what I wanted to know is if there were...

    How often to feed ficus with slow release?

    I am wondering how often I should reapply slow release fertilizer for my Ficus. Most of the info I find is geared towards liquid fertilizer.

    Help my scorched Juniper.

    So, I just noticed that one of my junipers got sun burnt at some point over the past 100 degree days in Cinci. The needles have turned pale green and they are stiff and some are even just falling off. I had been watering it every day but I guess it still wasn't enough. I gave it a nice long...

    Anyone know how to write “heaven and earth in one container” in Japanese?

    Thanks for all the tips. Just to be clear, I am referring to the old bonsai saying "Heaven and Earth in one container", so the translation could be the closest thing that makes sense in English. It may say something different in its original form.

    Yeah, I was hoping someone on here may be extra knowledgeable in bonsai history. I'm not for sure it would be a direct translation, either.

    I am starting my bonsai tattoo and I would like this included but I have no clue about Japanese writing.

    Should I be worried about this winter's on-off cold

    Ok, great. Just to make it clear, the nights have been dipping into the 20s during those 30s days. It's a very similar forecast to yours. There was snow on the ground this morning and it's supposed to get up to 65 in a few days.

    Should I be worried about this winter's on-off cold

    I am in Cincinnati and we have been having a real strange winter, thus far. lately we have been having shifts from days of 60s to 30s and sometimes in the matter of a day. Should I be concerned about my bonsais getting shocked or injured? I have 2 junipers under my porch buried up to their pots.

    Juvenile growth on my Juniper

    Just trying to ID one of these. My smaller one has small brown growths on the tips of some adult growth that look kind of like little pine cones. Any ideas for the ID. My camera died otherwise I would just take a couple of pictures

    Juvenile growth on my Juniper

    So maybe I should let this next year be a growing year for my Junipers? Don't touch them and see if they begin to get adult growth. My younger one I haven't touched too much and has some adult growth but not near as much as I would like.
