I picked up this little plant recently, but I don't know what species it is. The label on the pot only said "pre-bonsai." I decided to take a chance on it because it looked cool. I'm hoping someone can help me identify it so I can take care of it properly. Thanks in advance!

A couple of weeks ago, I came home to find my poor juniper in distress. It became the victim of a particularly intense rain storm while I was at work, The poor thing got washed out of its pot, and the rain took most of the soil it had been potted in with it. Thankfully, the plant itself was...

I purchased a Ficus from Lowe's several months back, and have started the process of converting into workable bonsai material. This is the first plant I've tried to make the conversion with, and am basically using it as learning experiment that will hopefully turn into something useful. It was...

I've never had a Juniper before, but I was gifted one today. It looks healthy to me, and I like the shape. I won't do much with it right now other than just keep it alive. Mostly I'm just excited about my new tree and wanted to share :D

I just picked up this Portulacaria afra the other day. All I've done with it so far is peel the glued on rocks off the top. My question is. when I repot this into more appropriate soil, should I separate some of the stems into different containers or would I be better of leaving them in one...

I've noticed in the past couple weeks that some of the leaves on my Sageretia theezans look as though they've been chewed on. A few have small holes, the edges of which have turned brown. I suspect some sort of insect might be snacking on my tree, but I haven't seen any insects on the foliage or...

Today I received my first Chinese Elm in the mail. Im pretty new to bonsai in general, this being only my second tree. I'm looking for advice on how to style it. The way the tree was trimmed before I recieved it is honestly kind of ugly, in my opinion. The trunk is fairly long and most of the...
