Thanks, ya I love this small tree. Are we going to get a video from you anytime soon? Keep up the bonsai. Don’t lose heart - play the long game. I appreciate the love.
Nice trees man.... What kind of soil do you use? Im from Kelowna and I'm not sure to use potting soil or inorganic bonsai rocks seems to hold no moisture.
Great question. For this tree (%50 peat, 45 perlite and 5% worm castings) lots of organic. Now I use this due to cost of akadama and pumice and because I’m not at my house throughout the day and the tree could dry out too fast. I’m super wary of all other soil mediums (lava rock, turfus, etc). Also to consider is tree in development (want faster trunk growth, growing new branches etc) then a more organic soil mix would be preferred. Hope this helps you get on your way. I also use peat as it lower PH as my water is high PH. I’d recommend some organic soil, particularly if you are newer to bonsai. But I wouldn’t plant in just potting soil.
Looks great in the new pot. Very nice raft my friend
Thanks, I like this container a lot. A little wide for this tree but still good.
Nice!
Thanks!
Holy cow, look at that thing! Look at the movement!! New pot looks awesome. Can't wait to see where this one goes. Cheers Chris!
