Hi,

I'm Zabel from Melaka. Just got interested in Bonsai a few weeks ago.
seems like only Bonsailelong and G400G400 left from this huge forum of bonsai mania..lol

ok first, i'm a guitarist and my hobby is playing music, then now (i think my age is catching up) i'm into bonsai..

I'm inspired by my friend from work, a 55 years old guy who is a bonsai lover since he is 30. some photos of the bonsai he started in our factory's smoking area using recycle toilet bowls...

The best thing is, i'm very interested so i go ask him where i can get it. I mean the bonsai. Where to buy and see since he is a otai in this.
He answer me he don't know, and try to avoid answering. haha..
so i will have to search for Bonsai myself.

Hi, zabel8484

Your shui lian hua is an interesting material for bonsai, if you control its grow and reduce the leaves size,
and when it comes to the stage of maturity and flower starts blooming, it will be just beautiful.


[attachmentid=3224347]  By the way, how much you paid for it ?

The fruit is edible. Each of the ripen fruit is said to contain vitamin c equivalent to an orange.

Wow, to have a place like bonsailelong to grow bonsai is simply amazing, I only have a small tiled area to put bonsais, and yet my wife still grumbles all the time i bring in a new collection.lol..

I just bought a boxwood after inspired by bonsailelong and g400g400's post on it previously. I potted it to a bonsai pot and i have cut almost 40% of it's root. don't know if it's ok becoz it won't fit to the new pot if i don't cut it.

And need sifu sifu sekalian punya advise.


This shui mei doesn't show any growing after i drasticly prune it after repotting.because it's too bushy and it's out of shape.

user posted image

what type of bonsai is this? i bought for 10 ringgit and prune it, now it's showing new shoots.

These are my shohin shui mei project, just potted them.

Bonsailelong's place is great, but the cleaning have to be done lol, anyway the series are very interesting.
Bonsailelong, have you ever thought of writing a book on your knowledge and photos for bonsai? if yes, maybe i can co-develop.PM me if you are into it.

So i have repoted the boxwood as per bonsailelong suggested. how to know if it's back to good condition?

they say is limau. now got red limau and white bell flowers.

Awesome, 52 pots!!

Big ones coming? Did you buy a trained 100% bonsai or you buy bonsai materials?

i'm thinking of visiting sanfong this week since they have a sale goin on.
Maybe visit Bonsailelong on the way home..fingercrossed

I just did my count, just realized that i only have 2 pots to be consider as bonsai, another 7 more are still trees i guess. not trained yet.


Added on December 30, 2012, 5:14 pmoh ya, i got these 2 before i really know what bonsai is about.

g400g400,
lol.... i agree with you, i think i'm going to buy some ready bonsai ...hahha
now you poison me 1st...

bonsailelong,
No harm in writing book on tips and photos, just as a share among bonsai lover, doesn't have to be grand masters to do so. Since master don't let photos , why not do a book of collections and tips from bonsai lover to another. i write guitar lesson books for my students and i don't need to be a pro.. anyway new tech allow us to print books with very low cost. we can sell it to bonsai lover at cost just for the love of it...
anyway just a thought, coz i'm currently still working on a series of lesson books on drums for my school's student. hahaha if you ever thought about making a record or collection for the book, just let me know..

can't wait for my sanfong trip...haha


Added on December 30, 2012, 10:00 pmg400g400,

sanfong nursery got facebook, go add it.

this is their facebook video ad for the sales
