Hi G400G400

These 2 pots of Huang yang of yours, I propose you combine them together.



I hope you can get what I mean.

This is the idea of the combination.

Hi G400x2

This Huang Yang seen to have survive through a disaster, and therefore suggest you give it a disastrous cut.




The idea is try to get it into a shape something like this.

It rains like nobody's business here too.

As long as the pot holes are not blocked, Huang Yang can take a lot of water.
this the time to add fertilizer to let it grow and trim and grow and trim and grow big fast!

I've yet to have enough time to trim all of them nicely, so some look messy.

(Ooop! Hope we are not monopolizing this topic in Lowyat.NET)

Today is Selangor Sultan's Birthday and so is my Bonsai Day!

This's something I've been waiting to do for some times.



3 pieces of cake.






Done with some green to the soil too.

Friendly speaking I don't know.

Over here there are bonsai nursery selling bonsai from few RM to 5 figure RM.

I only like to go to bonsai nursery to observe the shape and the type of trees they have and buy a pot or some wires.

Hi G400x2

Here's another suggestion to your Huang Yang



Sorry, I don't have any Huang Yang of this suggested shape to show this time.

I'll train one in the near future.

Buxus..buxus...buxus harlandii

It's just too must rain and all my Huang Yang simply enjoy growing.
Here's some messy, thick foliage Huang Yang photos for sharing.




Another "Doom" under development.

Can't remember exactly how old is the oldest trees, probably more than 15 years.

Thanks for your applause.

Huang Yang need as much as water as possible but not blocked drain hole and water stagnant within the pot.
In your case I think is the soil mix as well as the fertilizer.
Like I suggested earlier, change the soil and apply thin N46 solution weekly.

Don't know exactly what's the chemical that you are talking about.
I usually spray sulphur solution to the barks to prevent small ants from making nest in the gaps.
May be the one you are talking about is the colourless wood preservative that use to brush over the dead wood part of the bonsai which can be bought from hardware shop.
I never use that on my Boxwoods.

Hi Bonsai Kaki out there, why not post something or photos of your bonsai to keep this topic rolling!

FiCUS

I never like ficus until one day I got a chance to walk along a street in Sezuan China with 2 rows of gigantic ficus bonsai which simply gave me a terrific great feelng.
since then I was wondering I could one day plant and train at least one pot of ficus to become such a size without drawing RM from my pocket.

Too sad to say, I think I never be able to success.
If any body have any ficus bonsai story to tell and experience to share, I'm sure every bonsai kaki here will enjoy that.

In here, I show off my ugly hamper ficus bonsai which I started 2 years ago and looking for ficus sifu to comment.

Bought two and a half years ago, first time bearing fruits and fully defoliated.

Plant from a cutting.

Trying to create a mini one.

On the rock?

Cascading

Picked from a road construction site 2 years ago.

Hi G400x2

You got some good bonsai materials.

Hope You don't mind I give a little of my suggestion.

An apex is the first rule of bonsai.

Cut all at one side and eventually be trained into wind swept style.

I would say, buy one which already got an initial shape learn to maintenance it as it grows.
You will eventually get the " kick " and start want to have more and more.

Please post the blow up photos.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR! &&&& THIS WORLD WILL NEVER END!

My one and only Purple Smoke Bush - Cotinus Coggygria
Propaganda from a branch cutting 4 years ago, re potted recently in a 50mm height
pot which is actually cut from a portion of a large pot. Trimmed and partially defoliated.
It will need sometimes to recover before getting back the beautiful thick purple foliage.




(I've seen a stunting gigantic Purple smoke Bush bonsai in a famous bonsai nursery but
unfortunately no photos are allowed. Anybody got the experience of bonsai of this species to share?
I'm looking forward to learn more about it.)

This is my Juniperus Horizontalis. More like a garden plant than a bonsai.

This tropic was started on Aug 2008. Quite of lot of interesting photos and many skillful bonsai kaki started posting.
Then it became a free commercial place. (I was also one of those involved)
The editor issued warning.
Then...... quiet....quiet....
Well, who dare to say we Malaysian are not money minded.

At this point, I would like to say " Let pull up our socks again and show others that BONSING is our interest and hobby."

Making money is another chapter ( the most important chapter) in lives.

Happy BONSAING for all bonsai kaki out there.

Thank you.

Thanks for supporting.

It's Sunday, and the world has not ended as per the Maya's prediction.
And my "bonsaing" goes on irrespective others are interested in this topic here or not.

This is Malpighia Emarginata commonly known as West Indian cherry or Acerola or Balbados Cherry. Dug up from my bonsai material nursery ground.

The stump is hardly 50mm in diameter...

...and disorder branches. But there's simply no space for it to stay on that ground any more.

Big bushy plant, has been in the pot for 2 weeks and sure be able to con't to grow....

...big chopping..

First shaping .... The pot might be too big, but will let it grows for sometime to recover before changing into a suitable one.
