JudyB suggested that I post some pics since I have been able to keep these Weeds alive. In the past I have watched trees die pretty fast. This is new to me. The Juniper looks pretty pittiful I got it for $2 almost dead but look at the new growth! The little Ficus are from cuttings I took from a...

In the last few weeks I have been asking questions about watering and soil mixes and such. Two months ago I put those things into practice and potted up a few tress. The exact date was 5-18-12. I figured if I was doing anything wrong they would have some yellow leaves by now and I figured the...

I got this tree the other day as part of my mothers funerary decorations. I would like to do something with it in rememberance of her but I do not know what it is. At first I thought it was a ficus of some kind. But I loped off the top topiary "ball" and it did not bleed. So what is this thing?

I have been giving Bonsai another try (A Job that took me away from home alot stoped my previous journy into Bonsai.) I have been watering by using toothpicks stuck in the soil mix to tell when to water. Well it occured to me today that the toothpicks might be holding water longer than the...

I would like to buy a small ficus for a tree who's final size would be under 6" as small as possible. I am looking for something that someone would be willing to part with for cheap. I can't afford much. I can only go up to $15 right now. So I am pretty much asking for anything that you just...

I bet there have been dozens of threads with this title.. Well I purchased an over watered Juniper of an unknown type in a 5 inch Bonsai pot. It was in something that looked like muddy clay. I washed off the roots and a few were still alive. Cut off what I figured was dead. I put it in a free...

I ran across a really good guide on the internet a little while back it had info on each style and examples of how to design that style step by step. I have since lost my bookmarks. I have no idea what it was called or what site it was on but I would love to recover it. Does anyone know the page...

I want to set up some trees in a hydroponic setup but I want to use something that looks like normal bonsai soil. I have grown hydroponically in the past with success. My real question is. What sort of bonsai soil mix should I use to allow watering 3 times per day in a hydro setup? This will...

Has anyone used hydrogen peroxide to water trees? I have read several articles on it using anywhere from less than 1% to 8% hydrogen peroxide. The studies I have read say some pretty amazing things about it. I was amazed to read that in areas without so much pollution in the air H2O2...
