What are some of your Aha! moments? Moments where you saw, read, tried something different, or just finally understood an aspect of the art, that lead to a moment of joy or an increase in confidence in your abilities as a bonsai artist.
One of my instant ones was after trying to get wounds to heal on trunks long term by slowly healing over, I made an uro on one, and the tree was instantly transformed into something attractive with potential vs. a prebonsai with an ugly wound.
A slowly learned one for me was in the early days, I would lose trees in the spring to fungal issues not fully understanding what was happening. I read about systemics and applying lime sulfur as a dormant spray and that changed all my future spring growth for the better.
I’d love to hear some of yours.
