first off, let me say that i am 17 and live in arizona and even though im very new to bonsai, i absolutely love it! and think its something id love to do! i used to have a chinese elm, it was my first tree i got from my parents for christmas in 2006 and the tree was 4 years old! but it died!
i just want to know every little thing theres is to bonsai! i need to know good books too! i have one book that ive read backwards and forwards a million times its called
"The Bonsai Workshop" but more to the point, i bought 3 types of seeds from ebay not too long ago.. i got
desert rose, t
rident maple, and
japanese maple. im sure a few of you are already thinking.. wow..
arizona climate +
maple bonsai =
death.. well i think that if i can care for it enough then i can make it happen.. heres what i need to know (and ive tried looking all over the internet already for some answers but couldnt find anything)
1. is my dream of growing these plants into bonsai a reality? 2. how do i plant them, what care do they need to grow from seeds,fertelizers?.
3. what type of soil.. thats pretty much it. i did hear a rumor that the desert rose, from a seed, needs to have a heater underneath it?? or something like that... anyways, please help me out with growing these! id appreciate it!
