Looks like a kind of advance Technic, and at least your bonsai won't dry up while you are away.

Hi elmer,

Can you post photos of your misters and show how it works.

I'm planning for a down down south trip at spring season and can't reliance
fully on my neighbour to water all my bonsai for me for quite a long period.

Hi g400

I've a suggestion to solve your problem.
Bring 3 - back-bags, put the packed bonsai in them carry one at your back and one with each hand.
I'll send you to a commuter station in UPM or Bangi which is further down from Kajang which will have less people boarding the train.
You can save your taxi money to buy another pot of bonsai.

Sorry, It's just a joke hope u don't mind.

Please post some photos including close up one.

Is your Buddha pine getting enough sunlight?

yip, but too busy for the whole day, will try post something tomorrow.
Zebal should have some good stuff to show off.

Hi guys,

Remember this air layer done on the 01/01/2013 post 333.



The result is just as expected.



The roots should be able to develop into a ball like shape in another month's time before cutting and planting
it into a pot.

Bought 3 pots of bonsai materials in Min Hoe Yuen yesterday. Bought another black pine, a Lavender purple star and a small Brazilian rain tree. But
the nursery owner called it Asam Jawa.

The purpose of buying another Black pine is to try out whether air layering can work with black pine in our climate or not.
This is it, after the whole process of air layer works, and instead of using plastic sheet, a small plastic cup is used to contain the soil material.

.... and now just wait...

My little " chee wei " - a specie of the Malpighia family has developed a lot of flower buds
and will have a full bloom in a couple of days's time.
I've decided to give it a "snake" like semi cascading shape before the flowers bloom to mark this lunar year of the Snake.





..Happy Cap Goh Mei.. and the celebration of CNY ends

Hi Kidz,

Wow! you really mean business

That's a Premna imported from Taiwan.

First is to keep it alive in your environment. Premna can expose to 100% sunlight but requires sufficient water. Water it at least once a day.
In your case I suggest your keep it in an area where it has at least 70% of sunlight first, maybe 1 month later move it to a full sun area.
The soil is moss mixed soil, will decompose and give nutrient to the plant, so it's good enough for at least 3-4 months.
And no fertilizer is needed for the time been. If you feed it now, you will get the leaves growing bigger. Over feeding can result leaves turn yellow and say
"bye bye" to your plant.
And I think the other plant you though is anak is a kind of succulent weed that always come with moss mixed soil.
The only thing that you need to do now, is not only keep it alive but also keep it in shape. (As the branches grow, it will run out of shape.)
Prune back, at the joint areas as shown to keep it look the same all the time. At the same time, get another bonsai material to work on, one is
always not enough.

Don't forget to bring a couple of 4 figure RM along.

Hi Kidz,

Can I ask where you're staying?

Hi Infrasonic,

The fertilizer you bought N15 P15 K15 is a real strong one.
Hope you are not putting too much on your Buddha pine or it will also....

For just one Buddha, half a spoon is too much, that could be the reason your tree leaves became yellow at the edge.

The idea is like this.



Then



then



then may be 10 years later...

...then....

Wow ! Good

Any instruction given?
