marke hi all see help from pictures under help for beginners. i would appreciate comments suggestions and hope that other beginners will post their bonsai pics here

cptplanter im lost on the site, i even deleted a message that was sent to me...

You'll get used to it... :)

The best button for browsing new posts is "View New Content" :)

Robyn I recieved a Black monkey thorn as a gift and i am not sure how to look after my tree so it will survive

Basically, it should be kept in full sun and should only be watered once the soil has almost dried out fully.

Ok, another thing i have shoots that are coming up around the tree should i pull them out or let them grow?

If they're coming out the soil or from the base of the trunk they should be removed.

Teuneman I just realized, I visit this site more frequent an with more exitement of some possible new content than i do with my Facebook.

LOL that's classic. Bad timing tho with winter coming up as most activity I reckon will cease... Spring here we come!

Forgot to mention that it sounds like we have the same mental problem ;)

Me too- here allthetime...

wearsbunnyslippers Hi Everyone!

ola...i like bunny slippers...makes my feet all warm and fuzzy...oh no wait thats brandy...brandy does that...

LoL @ JankoosHey Slippers! Long, long. Long time - good to see you back!

Hello. Hope the bunnies are synthetic otherwise it's going to be a sad Easter.

Trojan nice weather

Yeah, big storms in our area - blew over one of the smallish trees in my garden and knocked several of my bonsai off their perches.

Sorry to hear that.

it's all good - it's now just a "stick", topping off at waist height, in fact just below. Smells like an opportunity to convert it into a bonsai! Just gotta convince the wife :)

Sounds interesting, when is it?

Saturday 31 March. Workshops with Roy on the Sunday. Prices TBD, but the Sunday will be more expensive.

The April/May edition has a great article on Trunk Development.

scotty Hello to all, their is a bonsai collection up for sale , 20 years old.

I wish I could make it! Stuck in KZN.......

Jankoos Hi guys...please have a look at my post in the forum and ensure my ID of the English Myrtle...

ok so i was wrong...it is a chinese elm

:)

josh hay all can anyone help me by telling me what are the pros and cons of moss in your bonsai pot

Thanks stickman

If the moss is on the soil that is fine. Where it should not be is on the trunk, this can cause it to rot.Geoff
