Hi all, I am new and trying to pick up this hobby and slowly learn. I bought this tiny bonsai 3 months ago, and now it has grows out of shape, but I am not sure what to do next. What I did in the past months, is just changing to a bigger pot, with holes underneath for the water to flow. And water it every 2-3 days.

I do not dare to start trimming(right term?) because afraid if I did not do it correctly might get the branches infected, or worse Dead. Any basic advice can share with me? If I decided to cut off all the leafs (botak), will it be ok? And for the copper wires, they are shaped by the shop when I first bought it... Any idea when do I need to redo the wire myself? I don't know anyone or friends who interested in bonsai, so I have to find out myself and hopefully learn a few things from master sifus here. Thank you all.

Hello all bonsai buddies. Bonsai exhb in Melaka this week..maybe can go togther?

hi, im looking for a really small sized bonsai, say, 15cm in height.

i want to put it into my terrarium together with the other plants. any idea where i can get them? online/offline nurseries?

Haha.. Hello all..
Just came back from Sanfong Semenyih..
Got me 2 bonsai.. a Santalia and a Bebuas..
I already have one Santalia and a boxwood at home.
Need help from sifus here on how to design my boxwood.
Currently look like Majlis tree by the side of the road.

Later I will upload picture..
Thanks

OOhhh..

Almost forgot..

Below are the 2 bonsais I got from Sanfong last week:



Need to change the soil for the Santalia as reminded by the towkay.
The leaves not so green anymore and you can see the veins on the leave..

I like both form of the trees.  Try to get the bebuas to produce more leaves i suppose.

Any tips on what is the best soil mixture for the Santalia?
I bought the japanese red soil from the shop.. Thinking of mixing the red soil with the mixed black soil bought for my adenium.
Any mixture of fertiliser for the soil?

I am thinking of getting a bigger square pot for the Santalia.. any thought on that?

As for repotting, I notice quite a chunk of roots came out from the 2 holes under the pot.
Is it safe to trim them??

I will try to documents the process with my phone cam and share it here..

Peace Out
