In the previous photo I had already wired a root. I have never wired roots before, weird. The wire comes from down low and stops at the trunk. This is all backwards man.
On fine shohin such as this, I use a special bonsai mix for shohin trees from El Dorado Bonsai. I make my own soil, but this has a measure of akadama in it that I prefer for small trees in Fresno. It gets a little hot here in summer and the akadama will retain the moisture a little longer. Besides.. it is already sifted and just the right size for this little tree, about 1/16" or a little larger.
