I purchased my first bonsai the early part of June of this year! Lucky Bean Bonasi, Had to have it since I'm italian and has some significance with the lucky bean. Take a look!

What species of plant is this,looks like an Avocado Treelover - County Durham,UK, Zone "8/9"   Pinkdamsel  My Weather Posted on Monday, October 01, 2007 - 06:13 pm EST :    Hi Larry, Castanospermum. Can you share any light on this? BTW - the beans at the base have dried recently. I don't know if significant or not.

It was a great fun to plant it! I don't know how does it grow right now cause I gave it to another friend:) Amanda1 - dolnyslask, Zone "?"   Nojazz  Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2008 - 01:58 pm EST :    Hi, I am new here. I "accidentally" found this looking for something else. Nice to meet you all. I am also very new to bonsai. Questions, questions!! Anyway, I bought a ficus. I dont know why kind of ficus it is. I have used its picture here. Any suggestions on what to do with it?? Do I try to "style" it or leave it be?? I welcome your thoughts. A.

Ask your friend you gave it to how it's doing and let us know. A pic would be nice to see as well. Hi Angela, Welcome to Gardenbuddies! Really neat ficus bonsai. I would let it be, love the entertwining on it. Just pinch back a little on new growth. I water my bonsai once a week, but I think watering would depend on what kind of plant you have. Others?

Sorry, I havent been back for a short while. Life is busy. What kind of bonsai do you have? I have to mist mine a couple of times a day because the leaves dry out. Needs humidity. Misting really helps. Nice to meet you!! Nojazz - Kansas, Zone "zone 6"   Nojazz  Posted on Tuesday, February 12, 2008 - 10:41 pm EST :    Nevermind, I see what kind of bonsai, Duh!!
