    New American bonsai

    I wasn't questioning ryan neil as an artist, I have yet to see a tree of his that I didn't look at in awe.

    What I was saying was whatever you had to put in the gel to kill bacteria would possibly be poisoning the tree at the same time

    Any chemists here? I've got an idea for a bonsai sci-fi experiment

    This sounds like flasking orchids. The only problem is keeping it sanitary once it is exposed to air, orchids you have to flask in a sanitary environment and keep sealed, and if you put anything in the gel to kill bacteria how good can it be for your tree?
