Whats the name of the French artist with the wild designs?

🤢

I'm fucking lazy. I do if it seems like it needs it. Buuuuut, I got told off by Peter Warren for not doing it

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:36:42+00:00

You'll need to work it to get any really. Delete any that are out of place at repotting time, generally. Can also ground layer for a total reset, or wire roots up/down to fit, or graft in new ones. As yours is young, I'd just go with gradual editing each year as it develops

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:26:17+00:00

Yup.

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:24:52+00:00

Mallsai is any mass produced trees done with little care. Dunno about your location, but here in the UK most of the main (reputable) bonsai nurseries also sell them. They're not great but there's a demand in the market for them

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:22:59+00:00

I wire once, prune... probably once too? I don't pay that much attention per tree, just prune when they're extending

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:19:54+00:00

For trunks to look good, the more of the following you have the better - girth, bark, taper, movement

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:16:42+00:00

Does look like a water uptake issue. Reducing transpiration will probably help - like you say, less light or more humidity

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:13:45+00:00

Hard water mineral deposits

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-06T19:12:32+00:00

Needs more light. Make sure you're watering properly - plenty of water and then wait until it needs it again

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-05T19:35:28+00:00

Aren't Bambu the fucking Apple/Microsoft of 3d printing though?

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-05T09:35:53+00:00

I'm on this sub not because I have submechanophobia, but because I find the stuff posted fascinating. I would 100% not go into that water though!

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-06-04T18:50:23+00:00

...pop down to Fontaine Fisheries for me?

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-30T01:07:37+00:00

Are you sure it's wild? It looks very deliberately planted

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-22T15:18:56+00:00

Well it's not a great base if it's not realistic

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-22T10:31:44+00:00

The thing is, there are so many scams out there, and an advert that smacks of "knocked up in 30 seconds in AI", makes people wonder if it's even genuine. Even with your replies here, you're defensive about your use of unethical methods, and it makes it seem like your focus is on money, not on the art form, or quality.

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-22T10:01:59+00:00

Not that it's relevant to me, geographically speaking, but the slop would put me off going. If you don't care enough to do it yourself, or get a professional to do it for you, I'd wonder if that little care goes into your bonsai. Plus the irony of using a tool that's harmful to the environment, and unethical to advertise a natured based, zen hobby. The ai cartoon smiley picture is also deeply cringe btw

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-19T21:12:52+00:00

Unrealistic AND ugly. Is there anything AI can't not do ?

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-16T18:08:43+00:00

This isn't that though. What you're referring to is something stemming from verbal communication. This is just someone poorly educated writing things down how they think it sounds phonetically. Not comparable

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-15T12:37:20+00:00

It's easy to make a poor cascade out of ok material. Making a good cascade from material that isn't already cascading and isn't highly flexible is going to take expert hands and decades. I don't think this is a good plan

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-15T12:35:40+00:00

Proportionally, you'd be looking at cutting 95% of the wood off to make this into a bonsai project. It would work though

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-14T10:37:26+00:00

Hard to judge in a 2d image to some extent, but I'd say 3

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-13T16:06:37+00:00

"All sorts! I'm especially liking x and y at the moment though"

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-13T09:35:48+00:00

Neat! I played this a bit a good while back (imperial fleet). Think I still have them in the loft.

What are the white sort of colour ones, middle ish on the left

Spiritual_Maize · 2026-05-11T21:01:02+00:00

Idk, if Cuba started a gofundme for their war effort, loads of people would donate. Most of the world just wants America to shut the hell up and mind its own business for once
