Hello everyone, I finally found a good Bonsai Forum.
First of all, I just recently got into the art of bonsai a few days ago, after I was at a local store called Target(big corp store like walmart) and saw a Chinese Juniper(which took me awhile to figure out since on the tag it said assorted lol).
Well so far this is what I have done.
1. Condition from store: Moss around the base, and glued rocks.
2. Removed most of the moss, and also removed the top layer of glued rocks but left the top still covered in the large grit, but unglued.
also for more the link in my sig is the index for all the pictures.
I have a few questions about my plant...
1. I'm planning on replanting it since I dont trust the soil target put in it is good draining and as healthy as it could. So on the 20th of jan, a local bonsai nursary is opening up, so i plan on taking it to them to help replant it if they can. Think this is worth it?
2. Right now the temperature in colorado is pretty extreme, from very cold to mild. So I plan on keeping it indoors until it starts getting warm. Think this will kill the plant? I have a good lighting setup and humidifier in my room to keep the humidity up and good lighting with flourecent lights, the only thing i cant really change is temperature. any hints?
3. I'm Looking for some ideas on some exotic indoor species that would be tropical and yet look unique, like the japanese red maple or something, if you could post pics and name off some species I would greatly appritiate it, or even link me to a species guide for the best indoor bonsais and with pictures.
Thanks.
Glad to be a new part of the community and hope to someday soon start helping others. Thanks.
