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.

Kidz,

Congrats, seems like you went to Min Hoe Yuen already.

This Premna from Taiwan came about September 2012, if i'm not mistaken the sifu said came about 400 pots, and by now i think left about 10 pots only in the 1st nursery of MHY. I bought 1 pot of this also.
It's uprooted style. I manage to propogate 3 more anak from the pruning of the this premna. Easy to grow from cutting so i think you just let it grow for awhile as they grow very fast. When you have a long sucker showing, cut it and grow more premna as it will soon be your bonsai material in a few years.

As Bonsailelong advised, get more to work with. 1 is never enough..hihi

Good Luck!!

Hi Zabel,

You know, we are promoting bonsai as a hobby activity. (not drug)

Bonsailelong,


We are actually doing the same as the junkies.... instead of drugs we promote Bonsai as the "addiction" hihi..

No lah! We are good guys!

It was good to meet up with Bonsailelong and Zabel @ Min Hoe Yuen nursery on Saturday. (Even though briefly).

Thank you Bonsailelong for the boxwood gift. Very kind of you indeed.

I managed to get some bonsai supplies, soil, and two of the little flowering plants Bonsailelong recommended. I think it is the lavender purple star.

We must plan up to make another trip sometime.

or shui mei? XD

zebel, u the bonsai mafia ring leader, bonsailelong the mafia ring master...ahhahahahahaha... LOL

Stephagorn,

No prob, just let me know. I'm always free on Saturday morning,

Haha, i don't think i can make it to sanfong this saturday, i hope G400 and bonsailelong enjoy your trip there, and remember to post some photos if you guys curi curi get to take...

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....

kk, is half table spoon too much? luckily i'm not using it on my buddhist pine yet coz before cny i found the Urea thingy from the supermarket, since the npk151515 was in the store, i lazy go take so use the urea xD
yesterday just put the N15 P15 K15 on my cactus only..

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

too bad, guess timing not right... but never mind there is always next time for 'tea tarik' session.. btw, Sanfong dun allow ppl to take photos of their bonsai meh?

Bonsailelong,

Would like to ask you, as this would be the intial shape for the B.pine.
What would it look like in the final? i mean the goal for this intial shape?
Maybe some enlightement would help me, thanks so much...

The idea is like this.



Then



then



then may be 10 years later...

...then....
