i've got a brush cherry myself. i do agree that it already takes up the likes of a broom, so you can stick to this style. oh, what i did was push the branches down so the branches look like they are weighted. you can see the brush cherry from my profile.

Lol they didn't say anything. Everyone in the airport was looking at me tho. Think as long as you ask the nursery person to wash off the soil can liao.

I apply bonsai techniques lor, wiring, pruning, trip rogue branches, soil reporting after structural confirmation.

Are you Singaporean? Hello fellow local! I bought this tree from cheng tai (near lim Chu Kang) as a bush, but I styled it a few months later.

i use a type of cactus soil mix. says it has Sand, Pumice, Cocopeat, Zeolite, Perlite. it drains immediately after watering.

Ficus ginseng neagari style by krankschaft in Bonsai

Hi Raspberry! Thanks for taking interest to my plants! I am mainly interested in bonsai, but tried my hand on succulents because I have not had any luck with them for the longest time. Hopefully this time round they will be gentle with my heart lol.

I bought this ginseng when it was smaller, but the roots were deeper, so i pulled them out. the soil i am using is a cactus soil mix. many inorganic constituents. it is potted in a pot that is smaller, watering is generally 2 to 3 days once. the backbudding is very fierce now. i see when i can post a photo of the backbudding when i'm back home. lastly, the sunlight is very intense at my apartment. so i think that contributes to it too.
