    Misting for "indoor" bonsai

    Thanks for the help all, my advice came from a bonsai nursery owner in Kissimmee and his tropical room is far more humid than my house. My scheffs were looking a little dry, so I'll spruce them up with some misting and a proper watering schedule.

    Newbie: collecting in Florida

    Edit: just re-read what I wrote. I'm a complete novice and I need to listen to opinions, not offer my own at this point. I think it's a great idea to contact these collectors, now that you've helpfully pointed them out to me, and thanks! I would never have known whom to contact without your...

    Misting for "indoor" bonsai

    Newbie: collecting in Florida

    Wow thanks for the quick response! I'm not going out this weekend, but pretty soon. This is such a wide permission, I pretty much have my choice of any Floridian ecosystem. Judging from the aerials, most of them have dirt roads that will get me pretty far in, so it's really a question of...

    Newbie: collecting in Florida

    I've just been given a wonderful opportunity by a landowner, a very generous one that has given me carte blanche to collect after I explained the concept of yamadori to him. I feel like this is wasted on me, given my pitiful experience, and normally I'd defer this for some time to properly do my...
