Yeah that was kinda the idea I'm pretty sure my landlord is gonna spray it with killer if I don't mess with itIt should be removed from by the foundation anyway. Did it up at the right time and cut it way back and use those two growths at the base shown in the red circle that Vin highlighted. It should come back growing wildly after the chopping....assuming you collect some roots. Just have fun and learn from it. It may end up nice looking with a well gnarled base.
Just looking for something to mess with to cure winter bordom
. I'd like to see all the leaves along with some of the soil cleared away from around the base.
I am unfamiliarSounds like you might need to check out the Red Pot Challenge
Try and get at least 6 - 8 inches of roots around that area in red. You'll probably need to remove some on the right side but even then leave some of them if you can get them in the soil after you bring that side up. Once it recovers you can start removing them one at a time over a period of time. Good luck!Well at the very least I get some practice on actual work and I'm not spending $ on something I'm going to butcher.
50/50 mix to start off with. Good drainage but lots of organic as well. I sift the fines out of garden soil.Would you suggest getting it into Bonsai soil immediately or start it off in a standard nursery pot with potting soil?
