I just aquired this little cutie for my first tropical bonsai and I'm hoping someone would be able to help me with these questions:
- What type of BRT is it? Samanea saman or Chloroleucon tortum and how to tell the difference? Thank you for the lesson @Leo in N E Illinois, I had no idea there are different species of BRT
- Would it beneficial to transplant the tree at this time to a better soil? It will have to go indoors for the winter and in my experience, plants with poor soil struggle severely over the long Canadian winter, so I was wondering if it's best to put it in something more "breathy"- bonsai soil mix? Right now it's in a nursery pot in potting mix. I just put the plastic pot iside one of my pottery pots for stability
- Do you think this tree really is 4yo? That's what I was told, but seeing some huge cuttings and trees out there, I'm just not sure why this one is so tiny. I do like the miniature of it, some of the branches are as thin as a hair, check out these small leaves
