Bonsai #1#2

Hi there all, I have been growing some plants for a while now & finally could start my love of these . Here are my first two sorry for the not so good photos.

Nice work. I’m a little concerned about the polished pebbles in the substrate though.
I Believe it makes for a less stable environment.
I used pea gravel with some of my first plants and had issues. IDK.
Looks pretty though.

Some people will probably come along and tell you to plant these in the ground to grow them out, but honestly if these make you happy then keep doing you. We need more people in the hobby and less newcomers that get chased away.

That being said, the first tree looks like a Red Maple, a notoriously difficult tree to make into a bonsai. Still could be fun to play around with though.

Try to add a generic location to your profile so we can better assist with care tips, and welcome to the party.

No, that's definitely a Red Maple. You can tell by the petioles.
