joorsh Forums Junkie Registered: June 2003	Re: Bonsai plants Mon, 28 February 2005 13:27 I've only been into them for about a year or so. It's so much fun! I started out with a regular little bonsai - pre packaged kinda jobby. All pretty much done for me. All you have to do is water it. After a while it started growing so I had to prune it, and then I started training it a bit, and trying to grow moss on it. Here's how it's going so far: The ugly coat hanger is just a temporary training device until I can wind some wire around the stem properly. With my second one I started trying to give it that windswept, flowing off to one side look. The moss hasn't taken as well as my first, but it's looking pretty good otherwise: Then I started messing around with a gum tree. I found a sickly little weeping gum hybrid that was stunted at my local nursery, so I picked him up for like $3. I've only done a very slight prune on him and exposed the roots so far. Once that settles, I'm going to prune it right back, and grow it on a small rock next to a little rockpool. Here's it so far with just the roots exposed: And for my latest creation I'm trying to get a sucker to take hold on a rock. I put a little bit of scrub next to it, and I'm hoping both will take root there. there's a few more pics at http://members.iinet.net.au/~josh_and_sarah/ [Report message to a moderator]
