Hello Bonsai Nut,
For years I have been interested about bonsai, had a few, but never the right conditions. Now that I live in a proper place with outside space, I am getting more serious about bonsai.
My plan is to buy a few cheap trees to learn, and grow seeds/propagate from cheap trees for the long run.
Trees I currently own:
- Chinese elms
- Ficus
- Boxwood (still in nursery pot)
- Fukien
- Adenium
- Maples (collected around a few weeks ago)
- Juniper
Seeds I have purchased/planted/in the fridge
- Pomegranate
- Cotoneaster
- Japanese maple
- Oak
- Olive
- Crape Myrtle
- Ficus
- Dwarf Umbrella
- Chinese elm
In the past I have tried seeds without much success, but it is relatively cheap so I am trying again. Any hint or advice would be appreciated, especially about the soil you have been successful with
Also I am planning for an Air layer of a red Japanese Maple. Nursery stock is too pricey, seeds are uncertain... so no choice. If you have an advice on air layering in zone 5b without being able to water the air-layer, that would be much appreciated
I will post some pictures when things grow!
Cheers
