  • i am a beginner and have started a North American Redwood, Giant Sequoia, Plum, jade, Honeysuckle. i am curious why you tie the plant down to the pot? i live in costal southern california and am looking for a club in the Ventura area, or, are there on line clubs that would provide guidance? i appreciate any help. rvanr@att.net

  • @qwiigley Nice collection! I tied them down to avoid accidental toppling. When you just recently repot, the roots still do not have a good hold of the soil, so it is quite easy (specially for a taller tree in a shallow pot) that the plant can just "fall" out of the pot by a strong gust of wind, by neighboor's cat walking by...etc. I am not familiar with the South Cal region, but I would imagine there is lots of clubs there, the climate is excellet!!

  • I think the trunks should be separated and re-arranged. You have to two trunks directly behind two others, and you can't see them. They are nice specimens though.

  • @spadalino good point, when I was repoting it, I noticed that, and I try to rotate it at an angle so we can see all of them, but still not very successful. In my next restyling, this will be taken care of.

  • @oboeobo suggestions and constructive criticism are alwasy welcome. May I know where exactly you suggest to air layer?? Are you suggesting that the trunks are too tall?? :)

  • @TheBonsaiStudent Fantastic! If you are still up for suggestion, perhaps an airlayer is in order?

  • @oboeobo sure ! I will take that as a request. Tropical bonsai material are hard to come by where I am, but I am alwasy looking. Recently, I've been checking on the ficus benjamina in all the nurseries, but cannot find a good speciment yet, will have to grow my own from a little seedling, that would take some time :)

  • @shartmen1 just keep prunning, every time, after flowering, just prun away the flowers and a little bit of the foliage
