[SgtPilko]

Nice chilled easter holidays here in the UK. Satsuki "Nikko" repot out of a plastic trainer and into ceramic required a bit more underground surgery than usual with some thick roots getting in the way .


I needed a teip to the garden centre which then can lead to temptation down the acer section... This one drew me in as it is not grafted, bit of movement, triple trunk and decent base under the soil to develop. Never heard of the variety, Green Seed?

This looks VERY AI generated!

That's the joke.

Unrelated Fagus grandifolia ground layer pics from yesterday:

 

[Goodbrake]

Checked on an air layer I set up late last year. No roots yet, but definite callus formation. Wrapped it up again to check on in another month or two.

Another day, another repot.
Incoming rain held off today and had a small window before dinner to get one done.

Mugo, very leggy. I need to get on this one and get it stronger and back budding.

Blue Rug Juniper (from work)

From original container to terra cotta and 1:1 organic and pumice




The straight trunk provides a formal upright. Branches will mature and be angled down in the future. Biogold + liquid fish fert is what the tree will receive. Makeshift fert bags from cotton mesh, zip tied and anchored into soil with 2mm wire.

Last year, I started bonsai with 1 juniper procumbens and swore I would only have 1. I think the number is 26 now

 

[ShadyStump]

I think the number is 26 now

ONLY 26?
Pretty sure I have that many on just ONE set of shelves in my living room right now.

I am very curious about the toaster.

I am very curious about the toaster.

The toaster is probably the robots friend so it doesn’t feel lonely

I got my first tree in a beginner class in 2022. The instructor mentioned he had about 300 trees and I thought he was absolutely insane. Less then 2 years later, I'm already up to about 120

 

[19Mateo83]

I'm already up to about 120

They add up fast

Now for some real nerd stuff
I collected some moss at work today but I didn’t get to do any tree things today because today was aquarium day… Yay…. Did a 15 gallon water chance and scrubbed some algae. Did water testing and adjusted my supplement dosing pumps.



And now all is well

I am very curious about the toaster.

Plan is to use it for its head . I am going to have to really scrounge for pieces to use as the eyes etc. . Very cheesy toaster mostly plastic so it will require some engineering to attach lol

Lol , made my morning

 

[19Mateo83]

Planted a seedling from a atropurpurium in the yard.

Not bonsai related today. Cleaned up some bushes, cut out dead branches and volunteer trees in this area. This pic is one reason I love spring in Georgia. I'm sure @Dav4 misses this!
