This tree in nature always blows my mind! I just got a little one at a nursery for $5 and am playing with it... New to bonsai, long time gardener

Amazing box store enrty ! And your signature line amuses me so much that I may need to use that!

Thank you for "callistemon ". Oddly I saw them all over the place today. Even parked my car next to an amazing one ...

Gorgeous bonsai, and a lovely pot... I hope what I've done is right - I haven't been able to hook up with any clubs but I have bonsai fever. The BB is leaning on the drain pipe outside my pool screen. It will get morning sun, mid day shade then bright blast afternoon, if its not raining

Thank you. I discovered a VERY root bound rootball with roots wrapped around the trunk so Im glad I didn't just slip it. It was a mess - I only cut one branch down by one segment and took off the dead wood. Since I want it to be a slant style. I went ahead and angled it in the pot that is...

Slip pot,?.. I saw a you tube video of a lemon tree in a colander...inside a bigger pot packed with potting soil around the edges.... Is that slip pot.. I don't have the supplies at the ready so it's going into a bigger pot for now on a slant but standing straight. Then I'm going to swap shop...

I have a nub near the base. A bit of nebari quality perhaps

After washing out the roots i found a girdling root that i tried to unwind but broke so i cut it clean and this nubby section is the nebari that is here.. SO Shoukd i leave that exposed or pack soil around it???

So I just want to clarify... Cut two tall branches to be more like the left branch in heigh at the section or in between the nodes.?. Quick draining soil, rocks ?. Should I used any potting soil?. Colander style?. .with potting soil around edges?.

So put it in a bigger pot??? It is quite rootbound

I found this bottle brush today and think I got a good deal on it for $5. Should i put it in a bigger pot? Top it?? Its in a 6 inch pot and is 40 inches tall. I'd like it to be slanting style but open to ideas

I'm not 13 ... But haven't figured out how to edit that

Bet it will repair nicely

I checked at Miami Bonsai FB page and saw ALL of their bougies get the moss treatment... Maybe I can relocate it onto my black olive?...

We checked but they had their monthly meeting the day we purchased so we have to wait until next month...

Cream dwarf! Thank you! I bought some soil from the grower. I'm going to open the bag tomorrow and check it out, I did purchase from a highly regarded grower in Homestead FL. Miami Bonsai so I have a bit of trust that the solid should be good but I'm going to investigate more.... Thank you all...

Wow thanks for the tip... I'm going to call around tomorrow and find a club, I heard Fort Lauderdale has a good one so I may call them to see if I can get some repotting assistance...

I have no experience with repotting but I do not like the pot that the plant came in.... To handcrafted for my taste so I need to find a class or someone to assist me with that but figured I had plenty of time for repotting but I will search a pot for the replacement in advance of the inevitable

thank you! No fooling around now that I've taken the plunge and purchased a few trees, I got a black olive, Fukien tea, small juniper as well as the bougainvillea and realized that while I have great love and respect for bonsai and have been moved to tears by them, I've never had any and now...

Ordering Chinese takeout -- thanks for that simple tip, it will help while waiting for the water meter to arrive

We actually purchased the tree at Miami Tropical and a bag of their soil so we may avoid that ride from Boca for now. Our northern exposure means we don't need much chlorine in the pool so we are not thinking it is chlorine but obviously it's a consideration. Does anyone use leaf Shine...

Its been outside since we got it. Getting many hours of sun but since it is raining here Ive kept it under cover outside only watering it when its dry The substrate is unknown to me but i purchased from a reputable grower that is located in miami and hard to get a hold of. The gravel appears...

I purchased this bougainvillea last week. The clerk took the tag with genus and species on it off without me realizing so i dont know the type of boug that I have. The leaves have been yellowing and dropping off. We live in south florida and are keeping it in our screened pool area that has a...
