BONSAI EASY NEW METHOD # 32-REVISIT TREES FROM BEFORE

[bonsai9723]

Hi chadtx254, I checked it out and I believe you are correct. It certainly matches the leaf pictures on the internet. Thanks for helping me solve this mystery!!! Interesting that they make great bonsai. Jerry

Hi, Thanks for the clue. I will look it up to see if it matches. As it came from such a dry climate I didn't know if it would grow here in the humidity.

I think that might be a Texas Ebony tree/shrub. I have a bonsai one and a landscape one. They are cool trees.

They are in a container with water and some rocks in the bottom. I consider them neither "Lucky" nor "Bamboo." I think I tried them years ago in sphagnum moss but they died quickly. Let me know how the soil method works. Jerry

Hi Tara, I have heard, and have, "Lucky" Bamboo, which is not in the bamboo family. It merely has a slight resemblance to true bamboo because of its segmented stem.I believe they have to be kept in water, and not soil. I add small amounts of Miracle grow periodically. The ones we try to keep in the house don't do so well (I think from the air-conditioning) and I end up taking them to the "Hospital" shelf on one of my bonsai stands. I took some dying pieces out there and they are now thriving.

Hey there! I had another question. As far as your bamboo... I have a lucky bamaboo that i was told to put in dirt. I will get random shoots in the pot i now have it planted in?

[bonsai9723]

Hi, Yeah, I think I would wait a little. Good luck! Jerry

Thank you for the information,

the sprouts are only about half an inch to an inch tall.

[bonsai9723]

Hi, Thanks. This system works really well for me here in Florida. It also worked well for me in Philadelphia. It's prime time for growth down here, and everything seems to be doing well. Jerry

great video, its validating to see that ALL your bonsai look incredible, keep up the excellent work.

[bonsai9723]

How big are the sprouts? I am not familiar with Blue Spruce, but I would guess if you are going to replant them in Sphagnum moss, they need a fairly well developed root system, and the growth should be vigorous. Better to wait, than to rush things. Jerry

[NickBowers13]

I got a cup full of Colorado Blue Spruce with potting soil that said you were just supposed to put it into the refrigerator for a month and then water every other day. So i have done that and have about 13 sprouts, and i was wondering when i should re pot these.

Thanks, Nick

THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION!

to be more precise, pinching the buds off removes an auxin named IAA responsible for apical dominance.
