Hi all,

I'm a relatively new active bonsai enthusiast. I've liked bonsai since my schooling days. Had a few trees through the years, but sadly not enough focus patience and dedication, so the trees never made it.

In 2010 my interest in bonsai revived when I started propagating some South African seeds of what we call the camel thorn tree for the purpose of making them into bonsai. The end of 2012 I started active work on some of the young trees. That is where the bonsai "bug" really bit me and turned into a passion.
For the last 3 months I've just spent collecting tree material an educating myself in the techniques of bonsai. I did some initial first styling of some of the trees I thought could handle it.

I found this forum while searching for places to buy bonsai supplies(wire, soil, etc.). I'm really glad I did as none of my friends are into bonsai. So there is no one to share my passion with. I just spent 2 hours reading this entire thread and am glad to join you all.

So, now there are 5.

Ill post some pictures of my material and work soon.

shui mei also need 5 years to grow it before training it to be bonsai right? XD
saw lotsa shui mei in the nursery i bought my buddhist pine last time

uhh that's kind of true. .maybe I'll just repot it next week then after cny only I'll see what can I do with it

while i was repotting it..found white thingy underneath the leaves of the buddhist pine. out of curiosity, i went wiping it wif my fingers and oh s**t it got crushed and black/red liquid splashed out on my finger..after repotting it i go wipe it with wet tissue this time and i think it's aphids..spent the whole afternoon wiping all the leaves 1 by 1 

Great Bonsai. Personally, i love to plant bonsai too. mine not so big one. the max is 1.5 ft due to place constraint.

for my bonsai, i adopt microspray misting system and drip system which help me to save watering my plants. you guys using any watering system? trying to share Hydromate Irrigation System. visit: www.hydromateirrigation.com

no wonder..since the day i bought it i didn't put it under full sun coz these few days always got strong wind and i scared it might break the plant if blown too hard xD
gonna put it out tmr

hey guys, i am also just new to bonsai but i have planted some sui mei from seeds many many years ago. to be honest, i just let it grow and without any care. But recently, i have repot them and prune them but didn't train them yet.  Actually donno how to train them

but i bought another sui mei bonsai from semenyih there last weekend.  i hope to learn more from u guys by reading all the post you guys posted here and also will do some study online

Welcome Jootat,

If i'm not wrong, we plant them in a deep pot until we get the bonsai material we want, trunk size..etc.. then we repot to bonsai shallow pot by pruning the root for training.
Trunk and nebari first , then the upper part, branches and shape/style later when you got a good base.

Am i rite Bonsailelong?

Hi, newbie at bonsai here.

Just purchased a maple bonsai during the weekend and was wondering if there is any sifu who could guide me on how to take care of this bonsai?

My bonsai the leaves seems a bit wilted.  I'm putting it indoors currently, will be shifting it to outdoors on weekends cause weekday no one to take care of it.

Just watched this documentary last Sunday, on a Bonsai sifu called Shinji Suzuki.
Great inspiration you can  get from this . But most of the great Bonsai here is more to Japanese black pine , or the 5 needle pine which are truly beautiful.
One more thing is a giant 7000 years tree there in Japan.
WOW!!
