I don't take it as gospel, but it definitely can be a big help. What I take more as gospel is talking with a wide variety of people who know the hobby well. They have had success and fails and can share them with you. That's why I'm a bit of a forum junkie. I post on reef forums, orchid, hair...

Lighten up. It was a joke.

Thank you I'll check it out. I do know of 2 places, one is usually closed when im in the area *grr* and the other place are outrageous. Like $20 for a prebonsai juniper.... iono maybe I don't know bonsai prices... I know they're expensive but they're outrageous. And I think the prebonsai juniper...

Oh lord no, I'd have no where to eat lol. I have 15 orchids, most of them stay in my west facing bay window with the blinds turned open about half way.

Growing the ficus isn't the problem.... it was my spectacular pruning skills lol. I'll look into the willow leaf. Ps- feel free to PM me if you'd like a few orchid tips :) that's one subject I know lol

Good bonsai subjects such as......? Please don't say juniper. I hate those. Anything but juniper. I won't give up, but hey not all hobbies start out successful, I killed my fair share of orchids when I first started that :rolleyes:

OK. Failed attempt. I'll just leave it alone and see what happens. If it fuses great if not that's fine too. My true passion is orchids. Bonsai is new to me, ask me how to grow an orchid and I could go on for days, maybe I should stick with what I know and quit bonsai. My boxwood is healthy and...

I was thinking tropical type climate would be made in a green house or something and non tropical could maybe be on my table with less intense sunshine. But thanks... now I feel dumb.

I have a library on my phone.... they call it the internet ;) j/k Sooo this one is a lost cause basically?

It gets lots of morning sun through a window a couple feet from the table. And I won't touch it with scissors any more :o suppose that other trunk does die, will the live trunks fuse to it or should it he removed? Would it look awful with only 2 trunks? Honest opinion.... should I just start...

Lol yeah.... wellllll...... the original idea was to make it shorter :/ the one that doesn't have any leaves is because I accidentally knocked that sprout off when I was moving it a couple days ago. By "growing unrestricted", do you mean don't touch it with scissors for a year? :-] What's a...

ok, i really dont know what im trying to do here. what i do know is that im going about it ALL WRONG! it started out as 3 roughly 2 foot tall trees, now its down to about 9" at the tallest point. every time it grows a new shoot down lower, i trim it above that spot. im also trying to fuse the...

Haha the oldest think I remember Is original Nintendo :->

Aaahhhhh, I think I'm too young to understand this post lol. Edit, wait.... I can sort of see the ad.... just can't read the part about million immaginations

Its my computer. Its not loading. I'll walk away and come back 10 minutes later and it'll still be loading *GAAAHHHH* technology!

I'm sorry for not posting pix, its not working for some reason right now. I've posted pix before, its just not cooperating at the moment

Thank you Anthony. I'm kicking myself right now, cause I saw an arilia with leaves like the one you posted and I decided to go with a different one instead *gaahhh* o well. I'll just enjoy it as a nice plant :)

Im having an issue posting pix for some reason right now, but here's a pic of what they look likehttp://venturestropicals.com/images/plants/small/Aralia-Fabian.jpg

Thank you, I'm not sure how old my stump is. I just saw it and thought it looked so unique, so it came home with me :) Hypothetically, if you were to train an arelia (sp?) what method would you go for?

I bought a Fabian plant/tree type thing. I don't know much about it, but I've read they grow slowly, so I thought it might make a good bonsai because it won't outgrow the pot too quickly. Anyone ever grown a Fabian as a bonsai???

I bought it as 3 scronny 2' tall trunks on one plant. I have wrapped the first 3" or so of the trunks with green garden ribbon to fuse them together. BUT, here's my question...... I want to make it significantly shorter. Every time I get a new sprout lower on one of the trunks, I cut it just...

Awesome, thanks for the replies everyone :)

Hi, i just went on my roof the other day and found that i have virtually an endless supply of gorgeous moss growing up there. So i brought some down (almost fell out of the tree while climbing down with one hand full of moss lol). Anyway, i put it around the base of my bonsai, theres 2 kinds...

Hi, im new to the hobby.... so please check my idea before trying it lol. Not sure of anyone reccomended it yet, but what about ph buffer products used for freshwater fishtanks? Im more savvy in the fishtank hobby than i am in bonsai, so thats just what came to mind. Its a powder and it will...

For what trunk fusing? That sounds like a pretty good idea cause this green floral ribbon around the trunk is a bit of an eyesore lol
