How would I go about reducing the leaf size? As well as, if I wanted to make the tree shorter... would trimming it at the red lines be too aggressive? ( I'd try and propagate the trimmings....)

I gathered that much from how large the foliage is! Had it been a dwarf variety styling can be considered. I just don't want it to look ...silly!

Or.. not so much ;) haha I've been looking around the web for a few weeks researching the how's and what's of my jade I got last summer. It wasn't happy in the room with a western window, and dropped quite a few of its leaves. And the remaining ones were starting to go soft. So, I moved it to...

I sure have been active in the tea house lately... But! I have recently come into the ownership of quite a beautiful orchid! I've been reading up on it the past few days and have learned quite a bit. I've already ordered a better plastic pot for it to go in. As the one that's holding all the...

Behold, Nala the 16+lbs queen on 9x13 pans! And our newest edition Juno, albeit not the prettiest dog...I think he's pretty stinkin cute. Last but not least, Travis (with Juno) the lab.

I thought about that. But I'm still a sissy when it comes to the idea of starting with seeds. One of these days I'll experiment with them :)

Well these are what I came home with! Tomatoes: brandy masters, Sakura, big beef and sunrise bumble bee As for peppers : chocolate habaneros and apparently.. Ghost peppers. That's actually interesting. I wonder why a little under watering makes a hotter pepper...but! A tip I will try out...

Well, I have been dawned the task this year by my family to try growing some tomatoes! And some habaneros upon request of my brother. ( maybe ill dry them and make crushed habaneros flakes! ) I'm heading down to my farmers market to grab some baby tomato plants and various other goodies...maybe...

Is it bad I think the bug looks pretty? At least my college is being useful for something! Will keep a look out here in Centre

It looks beautiful. Somehow I'll get my hands on one someday..

I have such a soft spot for cacti and succulents. But Where on earth did you get your Adeniums? were they local in your area? I've been dying to get my hands on one! But the idea of online sellers still scares me :)

Got her down to 40. Figured since it's a farmers market I could support the old lady. DANG IT. Should have asked her for it! Haha I considered that. I knew it was much too big for bonsai. It may just turn into a lets-try-to-not-kill this plant for me. From what I've read about jades they...

this is a 12 year old jade at my farmers market. Asking price is 50$ It's quite large..well over a foot both directions Think it's worth it?

I just saw a fairly large jade plant in my downtown farmers market! Thinking about picking it up... If only my stat class would end sooner.... Hope it's still there when I am finished! Nice looking plant

I went in for a 101 class cause I clearly had no idea what I was doing.. And with the awesome help of Gary, I came out with a tree! I got to learn all the basics of tools, trimming, repotting, all sorts of care and wiring! Now. This thing by no means is a master piece, I think of it more as a...

I've been looking to get my hands on one of those for a while! Where on earth did you get yours?

thats literally the situation I am currently in. Getting ready to finish my BBH degree at PennState, and then off to nursing school. while working weekends.. im just waiting for the day I have a nervous break down and shave my head like Brittany Spears.

I know how you feel, i never feel like I have the time or inspiration anymore! I also really dig your second picture.

I've been in a sketching mood recently (after the purchase of a new iPad Pro and Apple Pencil ..and a very long hiatus of not drawing..) and was wondering if any of you Nutcases draw/paint as well! I'd love to see some photos of your art work! I saw this ugly looking bonsai in my grocery...

while picking up my quince the other week, I found this Chinese elm ( or so labeled by my nursery ). It wasn't selling, so I got it pretty cheap, and figured why the heck not. So I bought it. I'll be attending my first bonsai class in less than a month at natures way in harrisburge. But in the...

If you mean covering the roots back up, I did that. I didn't want to leave them exposed to the air.i just wanted to take a peek a what was under there. :)

I cut off the top 3 inches of the pot, and pushed some of the soil away to see what I was dealing with in terms of the rest of the roots. It has a little bit of a flare, it may not be the prettiest, but it's a start!

I love your shimpaku, it draws my eye nicely, oddly it reminds me of a women bending down to grab something. Maybe I'm just strange but beautiful job!

Oh my goodness, I completely read that wrong then. Thanks for clarifying. I know these are neutral to acid loving plants, what kinds of mixes do you guys like using for your acid loving plants? I've been reading around on the site and many people seem to opt for akadama, lava rock and Kanuma...

Line here at the blue line? I'm willing to do it, I'll commit and get a good pair of shears today. So scary, but also thrilling!
