Hi. I'm new.
I recently got this cute little boxwood for like 3 bucks at lowes and wanted to see if I've gotten any of this right so far. I've already chopped a few branches, divided it from what was an entirely separate plant (
so yay two for one), trimmed the roots very lightly and then stuck it in a "bonsai" pot.
Honestly my biggest question would be suggestions on how to style this thing but I'm sure that I've already gotten a couple things wrong. Anyway rather than overload you I'll just leave you to look at the poor thing and feel free to post anything that comes to your mind. Sorry that I don't have the best images of it but my frog was home today and I don't like to interrupt it while it's relaxing for the day.
Japanese Boxwood (that's what the tag said) about 10 inches tall.
Close up of branches, trunk, and nebari.
Close up trunk and nebari.
Thanks.
