Hello! I bought a very small juniper pre-bonsai plant in December. I also live next to Phoenix, Arizona, so my juniper has been pretty happy outside through the winter. Recently, the temps have been climbing. I had read that the juniper loves sun, so I moved my little plant to the sunniest...

I'm a total newbie so I'm not too clear on the difference of root over rock versus planting on top of the wood. Both sound really cool. SO it sounds like planting the bonsai in this divit would be a bad idea since it would just be sitting in a stagnant pool. I've never wired a bonsai. Is...

How does one add a drainage hole to solid rock? there is a divit to seat a small bonsai, but no drainage hole...

I want to use this chunk of petrified wood to grow a small bonsai on. The variety of petrified wood is Arizona iron wood. Does anyone know if bonsai will grow ok on top of this? There is a small divit to nestle a bonsai and some soil in. There is no drainage hole to speak of, but the...

Well, Beauford has lost all his leaves and is now a sad and nekkid stick. I replanted him in a cactus mix soil which i mixed a whole lot of permalite into. I also have been really not watering him. He is in the sunniest spot in my yard now. His pot, which I think is maybe 6 inches tall, is...

Thank you thumbless! Extremely informative and helpful!!!

I'll try my best not to eat my Beauford. ;)

I'll trying moving him to a sunnier spot. I'm still worried about knowing how to tell the difference if he is dying or dormant. Thank you for the advice!

regarding Beauford's pot Beauford is actually in a much much smaller pot. I cut up a swimming pool foam noodle to fill most of that giant pot, put some outdoor umbrella fabric over that, then filled just the top with loose dirt around and a bit on top of Beauford's tiny pot. I just liked the...

Hello bonsai people! I received a desert rose for my birthday back in October. His name is Beauford! I live in suburb near Phoenix, AZ, so our winters are very mild. I kept Beauford indoors next to the window and did not water him for the first couple of months. Now the overnight lows are...

more questions also, how much and how often should i water these guys? Is the same fertilizer OK for all the trees? So so lost. Do I even worry about pruning/ shaping these guys when they are so tiny, or do I wait until they grow?

I love bonsais but have no idea what I'm doing. I've owned a small ginseng ficus for a few months and have managed not to kill it. I bought a baby juniper and baby mugo pine. I think. I live in essentially Phoenix, Arizona, so our winter is not what most people consider cold. First, the...

It is usually 107 degrees outside during the day. It's a little humid, but can a little ficus bonsai really stand up to that? Everywhere else I have read has suggested keeping it indoors. Can I get some more opinions from others on this? Should it be in the sun or a spot where it shades...

And we're gonna put a happy little bush right down over here in corner there. And that'll just be our little secret. And if you tell ANYONE that that bush is there, I will come to your house and I will cut you! (this a a quote from a parody. I won't cut you or anyone.)

Please Halp! I'm brand new to Bonsai. I bought a small ginseng ficus and then two leaves fell off. The leaves looked healthy and not yellow, but I was worried that it was losing leaves. I read that the Ginseng Ficus bonsai would do better if rather than watering whenever it looked dry (about...
