Seedling
Hello! First time poster and pretty much a beginner although I do have a green thumb and am not unfamiliar with caring for plants.
I was gifted this big olive branch which I want to root and turn into a few smaller bonsai (2 or 3 from the fat part) but I am unsure how should I cut it up for best effect and would appreciate some help!
This is the whole branch, roughly 5.5 feet long (pen for scale).
The lower thicker section I am mostly interested in
Lower section other side
Where I was thinking to make cuts
A) (3 bonsai)
Or this
B) (2 bonsai)
C)1 big bonsai + 1 small bonsai
What do you all think? Do any of these options look good? Would you move the cut lines?
I have no real style in mind, still very much a noobie and I need to learn more about that so if you have any thought on that I'd love to hear them as well!
OR would it be a better idea to just root the whole branch first to see where new growth emerges before deciding how to chop it up?
Please help I really don't want to mess up this beautiful branch!
