Bonsai -- Show and Tell

Recommended Posts

No worries flora.

I got 3 bags of kleensorb online a couple of years ago because i was having trouble finding it instore also. I figured its light and reusable so it was worth it in the long run and i have noticed the difference in my trees.

Enjoy the show. I wish i could of make it

great work Myco!

Got some bonsai talent here for sure =)

really love that first pic, middle plant (black pot) what is it? love the way it's like (to me anyhow) a couple animals all tangled up together. very appealing to me.

thanks Ghosty I try my best

that one in the black pot is a grafted Ficus Microcarpa retusus :)
which is just ficus microcarpa with microcarpa retusus grafted to the top the retusus has nice smaller leaves on it but is slower growing

its a pretty commonly found plant in bunnings though nowhere near as big

its a nice plant that one I was stoked to find that plant when I started to uncover the roots I was even more happy
I've been slowly revealing its roots over the last 3 years or so
