K, sorry, a few quick questions 
Have a nice day |
Hi Irish, It can be temporary or you can leave it that way for the rest of its life if you want...No the trees don't have to go back into their pots afterwards...But you could repot them to increase your trunk size...
I water mine with....The Hose!...New fangled contraption I know and it doesn't compare with a $500 bonsai watering can...But it works well enough...
The soil is the secret...Its called Muck...There are many recipes...But mine is 50% fresh cow pie-to 50% clay....It should end up with a plasticine quality to it...
Clay is packed with nutrients and prevents the tray from drying out too fast...
Bonsai is full of illusion..Much like magic...
If you like those scenes run a search in google images on Chinese "Penjing" and "Saikei"
It'll blow you away!
Happy growing Irish
