Also did fall cleanup of my Shimpaku juniper. Unwired it and cleaned up the foliage. Did something new called “live vein cleaning” where you clean off the very outer layer of bark. I love the way it looks after cleaning it, beautiful red trunk #bonsai
Morella californica bonsai Pacific Wax Myrtle Progression from purchase in May 2023, repot in January 2024, now September 2025, one wiring and removal, and pruned on four occasions. Bruning round pot. #bonsai #myrtlebonsai #broadleafevergreenbonsai #pnwbonsai
Short Birds Nest Spruce with massive canopy. These trees (ground cover habit) seem like an easy species to cultivate as bonsai…due to their easy back budding and almost natural/inevitable pad formation. Getting them to spread vertically is a bit of a challenge… #Bonsai #MakeGoodChoices
Ancestor.
A bendy Pinus Contorta in a free from #Bonsai pot from a local potter. This tree was a stowaway in a field collected hemlock I purchased at a local garden shop years ago. A nice bonus! About 6-7 years old now. #MakeGoodChoices
The local #japanesefestival was today at @mobotgarden.bsky.social and I love seeing the #bonsai every year. The food vendor situation was a shit show as always, sadly. And the merchandise is 80% anime stuff that can be found anywhere. But! The bonsai are the best 🌳
Today was such a nice day to spend on Labor Day. I went to the Saint louis Botanical Garden for their Japanese festival and had such a nice time. The botanical garden was so pretty, and I got myself a few things. #japan #laborday

Looks like a fig tree gone bonsai♥️
When I did some research earlier in the year I was given the suggestion of using an onion or orange bag or the foot of some pantyhose to hold the substrate and then tie the moss to the outside of it. They also told me that the shape gets better with practice and that it comes down to how it’s tied
Thanks you, really appreciate the compliment!
Awesome, excited to see what you create!!! Mine have always turned out more of a pancake shape, lol. Hopefully I’ll get some good sheets of moss and can try again, saw some hanging one that I really want to give a try.
Indeed, gonna go harvest sunflower heads before the birds get them all and then find a cool spot until trees need their second watering Hope you’re having a wonderful day
Good Morning Keyser

Rosa filipes is ideal for growing into an old tree, which it will quickly drape with pale-green dangling trails and clusters of small white yellow-centred flowers. I can only describe the general effect as lacy. #gardening www.kiftsgate.co.uk/kiftsgate-ro...

Great place to get pumice on the super cheap is landscape supply yards. Think I pay like $10 bucks a yard, I have to sort and wash it but I’d be doing that anyway
Important for conifers to slowly move them from their original soil to new substrates adding in a bit of the old each time. For pumice the ultra fines are washed away and the next size up I use with some sand for sage and plants like that
Yeah I add very fine chopped sphagnum moss, bio char, bark, coco core, lil pete, lil used coffee grounds,some ph adjusters depending on species (usually fine chopped pine needles for low ph trees, dolomite magnesium or lime for high ph trees) sometimes pea gravel as a weight ballast if needed
Pumice with minimal organics really does help keep roots cool, silica is wonderful for that. It definitely needs to be washed well and sifted otherwise the fines can cake up drainage
There’s a fair amount of folks down south of you in the Cascade ßonsai Society that use nearly 90% pumice and a couple that are 100% with wonderful results. Personally I hover around 80-85% as we get some gnarly high temps ‘nd im not always (do to health) able to water 3-4 time a day.

Sweetly in sync...
One of my oldest “ #bonsai ”…but the trunk’s a mess and had thickened into reverse taper before I got it. It barely qualifies…but in 8 weeks…it will be a showy beast of yellow, orange and red. I have tried to move it toward a path of legitimacy…but will instead just appreciate it for what it is.
Maples can be ornery like that and unless you’re able to thicken the trunk below the best option that’s worked for me is to create a leader from the next lowest branch below the inverse. I’ve been told that if you can keep all the branches in and above the taper “weak” it can help trunk catch up.
Thanks
This #lichen a tree lichen Preforming fractal magic. subtle changes in colour Pale browns and cyan Burnt edges. wobbly ribboned lobes that loosely remind me of overlapping Japanese temple ‘Shide’ (folded zigzag paper) found on bark of an old tree on the ocean road where I walked my dog #FungiFriends
Lookin’ good! If I may ask where did you find your soil cup and does it help?, I’ve been using a feed scoop for years now and have been thinking of upgrading recently
My most presentable tree, a small Hinoki Cypress, cleaned up from a long and too busy year. Moss removal, some minor cleanup of branches/foliage and right side pulled down with raffia. This one was little effort and repotting/final shaping to come next winter/spring. #Bonsai #MakeGoodChoices

I like this old tree because it seems to be saying, "Behold, the moon!". 😁 Happy #SkySunday!
Discovered the most beautiful place yesterday, it's the Japanese bonsai garden in Ferch, about an hour's drive from Berlin. They have a little tea house there that serves dozens of kinds of Japanese tea and sweets. 🍵🍡

Nice beech forest refinement, appreciate you sharing it @sidpavey.bsky.social I got a great laugh when the person watching your vid with me gasped and squealed with your first cut then replied “but why?!?” ‘nd when the video ended they said “Oh, now I see, but it felt so drastic” L0L

Indeed, adds pressure and in some odd way also makes decisions easier, as I just asks “what would they do?” Certainly added to an inner layer of glass is the longest lasting yet if I ever do it again in the future I will for sure ware a full respirator, a simple mask (or bandanna) doesn’t cut it.

My display bonsai at the Okinawan Festival, an upright escambron with mountain viewing stone.
I’ve used them in my soil for a few special trees, that I’ve dedicated to individuals that are no longer walking in this earth as a reminder of who they were and what they meant to me. Also used cremation ashes in a blown glass urn on top of color that I made for a patron his mother after she passed
Like a bonsai tree, prune your connections to unleash the fury of solo growth. #SolitudeRevolution #PruneToThrive #BonsaiMindset

🔬 Bonsai-Pflege trainiert nicht nur Hände, sondern auch Kopf & Herz. Wer täglich 15 Minuten bei seinem Baum sitzt, stärkt Achtsamkeit, Stressresilienz und Fokus. Kurz gesagt: Bonsai = Meditation mit Blättern 🌱🙏🏼

If I add any more trees im gonna need to get me a mixer for substrate and an auto sifter to classify pumice. I appreciate his “bare bones” approach, just starting keeping up with his posts. Thanks for your posts, that’s how I found his channel

Seems you’ve turned off your chat option, this is what I attempted to send summarized: The biggest tip is to have a background that feels like nature but at a low opacity to help one feel like in a garden or woods, etc, and also highlights your product and info pages
Thank you so much, thinking I may even go down to the coast and do some driftwood hunting. I might wait till the holiday weekend has passed just to avoid all the people
Sorry to hear that 🙁 I can say that it will make average temps feel so wonderful, I was amazed at how comfortable 90 could feel after days in 100+. Kinda weird Stay hydrated and I hope that there’s nice breezes that accompanies the high temps
Big improvements, got a lot to shift yesterday and feels like the weather is going to be nice to us today. Not a huge fan of appointments but the climate controlled spaces were a nice reprieve from my norm. Actually feels nice to bounce back this way and getting my head to follow. Thank you 🙏🏽 💚💜💚

Summer. Bonsai.
If you’re misting the moss daily watering them once a week and a lil more when flowering is probably good, maybe a bit more frequent if your house is very dry. Also a humidity tray helps both the moss and orchids immensely.
Orchid Kokedama | Orchid and Kokedama Tips Hi @bonsaizen.bsky.social Relatives bought this for me last wk - Phaloenopsis / suggested Light (low light) Water only once per wk, Spray only when totally dry. I thought I should water it more than once per wk?🤔 #orchids #kokedama #orchidtips
