Hi Protonwira, Welcome !

First time in this forum we have someone from Vietnam. Thank you
We are a group of newbies in bonsai and learning from each other.
There is no great master like those in the ibonsai forum.
Please feel free to post your trees here no matter what sizes or shapes and share with us,
I'm sure everyone here will wish to know more about bonsai in your country.

Hi Proton Wira, welcome to the club..

I saw this in one nursery in Melaka last saturday, Oasis Nursery , 1 normal garden nursery but sell big shui mui garden plants and also the limau rawit, and i saw this plant too. i think got about more than 10 pots there. Seems old. i ask the onwer , she is selling at rm50-60 per pot. can be made into med size bonsai..

Thank you guys
I will post some of my trees later
btw, what is the coconut fiber black soil component?
Tks

I'd like to share some of my first desmodium (blue bells) with natural deadwood.
Still in training progress.
This is one of the most favorite species in our country ( beside Ficus benjamina, wrightia religiosa , Antidesma ect)

umm, should i style my buddhist pine now, or wait a while more? finally got rid of the aphids.. used soap solution to spray on it last time, did it twice, didn't kill all of it but reduced it.. used fendona solution to spray on it once and tadaa, got rid all of them btw, the fendona solution i got it from my parents, they use that to spray their room last time coz the room got infected with bed bugs

and now busy with the juniper dy. sprayed it with fruit peels solution. not sure what it's called but in chinese, my grandparents call it "xiao su". they just put fruit peels into a bottle for many many months, don know much about the detailed instructions to make it XD all i know is it smelled real sour, really really sour.. it smells nice but after a while, i'm sick of that smell. hope it works and won't kill the juniper

some pictars of the buddhist pine

Main component - coconut fiber, burnt soil, burnt husk, humus soil and minor amount charcoal powder.

Btw, how's your Indonesia imported buxus harlandii doing? You got it recently or have been with you for sometime?

Hi Protowira,

Wow! What awesome materials you have!
Desmodium, especially with natural hard wood is something that could hardly be found in our country.
I understand that many temperate tree species can be found in your country, can pine species bonsai also
be commonly found in HCM city areas?

You can twist and bend your Buddha pine at this stage as it's still young.

Went to Sanfong bonsai nursery again on my way home from work today.
Added a young sticky like cucur attap (Beackea frutescens) to my collections.

Here's how it look like.


Done up some wiring and bending works to the branches and repottd it to a bigger pot.

.. be blessed to grow well

i really envy, you can go to Sanfong every weekend.... nice cucur atap... how much you pay for it?

RM50.

what type of soil do you guys use for bonsai? mine the water can flow through well but it doesn't seems to dry up..i didn't water the plant for 2 days but the soil still felt wet
not sure what type of soil i'm using, it have some broken red bricks chunk on top of it if i didn't water for a long time

Hi everyone!!

Super Sunday indeed!
I have the whole time for myself today as my wife is on training and my son is with my in laws...so ultimate Bonsai day today beside of a 3 hours company bowling tournament today...

What i did today is changing a Asam Jawa material to a larger pot and did some shaping on it..


This is the one i bought from MHY last 2-3 weeks...


Made the pot change to a larger one and the trunk twist..


Finally the branch shortening tech and a scalene triangle look on it...


so i think it's only the wait from now.......
2 years? 5 years? Bonsailelong?

So i think it's time for a few more asam jawa from MHY and giving them my $$$$$$ today!!!!

err, what size of wire u using there? my wire around 2 to 2.5mm, so hard to spin around the branch..did that with my juniper last time and scratched off lots of loose chunks off the trunk

Hi Zabel,

Wah Lau Ye!

Plant your asam jawa (Tamarid) on the ground that will definite be faster.
