Wow Bullytaro!
All your plants look great!
Nice roots in the first picture.

You do have green thumbs. Whether the plants are under water or above!

ficus make great bonzai, especially when the aerial root are encouraged to grow and thicken to fuse with the trunk butress.

Re: Bonzai - Gardening

I once had over 150 bonsai in my back yard.....some only inches tall (mame) and others 2-3 ft high....some valued at only a few dollars and a few valued at over 10k ... some in tin coffee cans and some in rare tokoname or albright pots valued in the thousands

Nice bonsais! That second one reminds me of the root that the little girl in "Pan's Labyrinth" put under her mother's bed. Or the Mandrakes in "Harry Potter".

Re: Bonzai - Gardening

Booze, I mentioned this before in the hobby thread, but I don't know if you caught it. If you come to ATL for MACNA, you should check out the monastery in Conyers. They have some really amazing stuff there...

Re: Bonzai - Gardening

Bullytaro, your trees are beautiful! I wish my thumb was half as green as yours, I manage to kill the hardy ones too...


Gotcha Booze, but if you happen to be nearby, they have a pretty extensive collection that makes for a really nice tour. They don't really talk about that too much on their website.

This guy has a few pics (you have to have a google account...)
