Same... Super curious.

Local nursery has large potted Parsoni and Blue Pacific plants for "ground cover". Many of these pots have multiple trunks with A LOT of movement. Usually 2 or 3 trunks of decent thickness, long leaders, and they seem HEALTHY. Many beg to go cascade, others beg to be radically bent. And did I...

I, too, have a nursery Bougie that I'm thickening and growing. Right now it's in a 10 gal pot and is outside basking in the south Florida sun on a porch that faces due south. Needless to say, it's a happy plant. I tend to water once every other to once every 3 days and only until I notice water...

I'm so down with this!!!!

Will do once I know it's not going to die after being repotted and the drama that was going on in its old pot. I swear it was a total hot mess, they all were and they were destined for the rubbish pile. I'll give it a month and carefully bend, that limb is VERY flexible.

Actually, with this one, I want to keep it small. Not looking for a show piece, looking for a fun piece. They were a cheapo rescue.

These guys had foil too!!!!!!! Such a mess with petal blight!

How much of one? And off to the left away from the rest of the tree?

Truth. So much truth.

LOL definitely a work in progress and will take YEARS to do anything. Not expecting to wake up tomorrow morning to find that good ole Saint Miyagi came down the chimney and aged it 10 years over night. If I let this thing grow wild for a couple years, I think it would swallow my house. That...

Rescued a pot of three Azalea cuttings. No clue what species. Two of them came out happy happy, one of them I don't know if it'll make it. Treating for petal blight as well. Blossoms are appearing to be soft powder pink, slightly ruffled, with hot pink/fuschia freckling. My tablet sucks at close...

I do, actually. I see the shape of the tree becoming something similar to these to start with... Minus the deadwood of course. And then eventually, after many many years of building and training, something like this;

aaand the tree as she currently stands as a whole;

I swore I wasn't going to touch this plant until deep into spring when her blooms started to fade. Swore. Well... I swear the plant started talking to me and was begging for a bit of a clean up and some attention. It wants to be a Bonsai. It really really does. I, however, lacked the testicular...

There really are so so few. Our local club about jumped for joy when we showed up as a family unit! He's less into pruning, but as an engineer he sees angles and things that I don't and will point out what and where I should cut or what degree I should plant at. He's a gift that way. Fingers...
