Just wanted to show off my latest pre bonsai / start a progression thread.
Picked up this bougainvillea from the bargain table at a big box hardware/garden store. $10 which was 50% off.
I've placed it in a plastic tray with holes on the side, which is placed on some pine bark (just a filler to hold the tray higher) then a fine pumice substrate (im working on getting better bonsai soil). its in a large plastic tub so i can move it inside each night throughout winter.
Not too sure on my plans just yet. I think i might just watch what happens during next spring/summer and learn abit about it. I might plant it in the ground and let it grow, but if it's growing strong in the tray, I might leave it like that.
