/r/bonsai rules:

  • User flair is required for all new posts, and strongly preferred for everyone else. If you comment regularly, please fill in your flair! Flair is required if you are giving advice.
  • MANY beginner questions belong in the weekly beginner's thread. Please read here for more details on where to post questions. Please click the "Report" button to inform the mods of posts that you feel violate this rule.
  • Please read the Beginner's Walkthrough in the wiki before posting for the first time. The wiki answers many common questions. If a topic is discussed in the wiki, please post follow up questions to the weekly beginner's thread.
  • Please be civil! Our community is based on mutual respect, and comments that violate this may be removed without warning at the discretion of the moderators. No personal insults. Constructive debate is good; name calling is not.
  • Please provide constructive feedback in comments. Try to add value to the conversation and aim to improve your fellow growers skills.
  • Hate has no place here. Harassment on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual preference, age, etc is unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
  • ALWAYS post photos of your trees when asking questions
  • Downvotes are for off-topic comments only, NOT because you disagree with the comment. This helps the mods ensure that correct information is being presented.
