    Repotting Bougenvilla

    Hey everyone, I hope all is well. The other day I noticed some old Bougenvilla potted somewhere in my yard that had been neglected for quite some time. They have wonderful old roots, so I wanted to see if I could turn them into bonsai some day. This afternoon I separated the two trees by...

    Help with new specimens: Parsoni Juniper, Japanese Boxwood, White Indian Hawthorn

    Thanks for your concern and suggestions. FWIW, each tree was only $10, and some of us can only read so much before it is beneficial to move on to trial and error.

    Fukien Tea Help!

    Thanks for your prompt response! I went ahead and removed all of the pebbles and moss. The pebbles were not glued, but it seems that the soil was and is pretty moist. I think overwatering, along with the soil's inability to dry out due to lots of pebbles may have been my main issue...
