Whilst not being a recognized Master in the art of Bonsai.
I do think I have over the years picked some valuable knowledge. Which I do like to pass on, so it will help those that are just starting.
What I know I pass on. In other words what I know from what I have done.
To pass on knowledge you have not proven is in my thinking supposition.
In this line of thinking, it can cause an awful lot of flack from people that read it.
Then pass it on without proving that it works. My advice is to try it if it works then pass it on.
Most responsible posters on this forum. First ask where you live, to ascertain what hemisphere and what growing conditions you are likely to encounter.
If I personally do not know the species, I will not comment. Like for instance Fukien tea. I have never grown one, so I would never comment on it.
If it is a Melaleuca or a Ficus rubiganosa I will.
I have grown Juniperus varieties with success in a hot climate so I know what to do.
I have knowledge of Satsuki azalea's in hot conditions. I have not grown Larch so I would not say what should or should not be done. I lost a Spruce after 12 years though one day of no water.
I know what killed it so I can say.
I have grown many different variety's of trees from cuttings both large and small. So I can pass on that knowledge. I get upset when a person asks the same question 5 or more times on the same subject.
Obviously not learning. Then passes on knowledge to others!!!.
This is just my opinion so take it for what it is worth.
