Manzanita training, styling, and keeping alive help
Ok, so after reading some posts about Manzanitas I realize I wasted $30 on one. I don’t have much experience with bonsais at all and now I read it’s one of the hardest specimens to keep alive,…if not impossible. I could need some help I think, hehe :)
I have attached three pictures for you to look at. Please give me advice on how to train this and how to cut it back. Can I reduce it to ¼ of its original size without killing it?
Can I put the cutoff branches in soil to make them grow new Manzanitas? (I have growth hormone) After spending $30 it would be nice to keep some of the cutoffs.
I have read all the posts here on bonsaiTalk about Manzanitas and how to keep them alive. But if you have any tips, please tell me!
Thanks you,
Robin
