Check out my bonsai tree

[cranny]

This is a 12yr. old Jap. maple. It's about 20" tall. It has a beautiful full canopy. I just hope I don't end up killing this one like most I've had

I have had 2 of them, notice I used past tense, I killed both of them relatively quickly which pissed me off

Nice i wish i had money and time to buy one...Kind of looks like a pot plant i grew once

does it take a lot of grooming or does it just need watering?

 

[cranny]

Thanks. Yeah, I think where I've been going wrong is the watering and sufficient sunlight. The bonsai guru that I bought it from said it should be watered everyday, not when it gets dry. In the hot summer months, 2-3 times/day. Also, no tree will live inside he said. They have to be outside for the most part. So far so good.

Not as good as I thought they were. The one pic shows one rack, she has another.

That first pic. is awesome. I have a juniper bonsai similar to the 2nd pic. You're right she does have alot of them.

Cool man I've killed a few myself and stopped trying. 2 or 3 times a day huh. I should try again.

I'd love to have one of those.. but i'd never maintain it so it'd look like shit and probably die.
