How do you currently record your bonsai information?
Sorry if this has already bee covered in one of Brians threads, I have been slowly catching up reading them all.
What do you all currently use to record your bonsai information? Paper notepad?, Excel?, Word Processor?, Text File? I guess I am just curious of all the possible answers. cheers, Brett |

Well I tried it and it doesn't look too bad at all. But yeah, I can't read it al all. haha. It looked as though you weren't saving much information on each bonsai. Is this correct? I guess I am trying to find out what type of information people keep on their bonsai's. Thanks for the link though. cheers, |

bonsai brett , i use microsoft word and record everything i do to my trees, even down to fertilizing, trimming and anything that i feel of importance. I also take alot of pictures and place the notes and pics in a individual folder . I got a really cool bonsai card offline somewhere, can't remember to save my life, but this records the scientific name , common name, last time repotted, and the requirements for each tree. I have attached the bonsai card. i have one of these for each tree.

few years of work
I was aquiring more trees than i could remember so I took an index card box and wrote up a card on each one, names, date and place purchaced, style, likes, dislikes and I have a progression of pics in my computer. I am going to print pics for the cards to preserve data I am about to change my hard drive so hard copy may be better. I need to update I lost a few while in Hawaii, small misunderstanding with the waterer.

Could you list the fields you keep on each card? By the sound of it you just keep a pretty simple list of basic information. cheers, |

field list
I haven't got past the basic needs of each plant I started it out of having more plants than i could keep track of and the tags the plants came with were fading and breaking. If I do something the plant reacts to I write it down but my history is captured more on pics.

I use a PIM that has custom fields. I have the calendar synced to it so I know when I cut, repot and fertilize the trees. plus it allows for pictures so i take a new one each quarter (3 months) of the trees.
