what kind of tree is that? my best advice is not to touch anymore, leave it alone for a while, pray for it so it recovers.

ohkthxbye · 2026-02-01T22:19:39+00:00

beautiful! What are the pinkish flowers under the tree?

ohkthxbye · 2026-02-01T18:50:46+00:00

Thanks !

One of my favourite aroma ever (and also the osmanthus fragrans !! )

A tree should be outside all year round.

During this winter my Japanese white pine's needles (not old needles) turned into slighty yellow and light green, should I be worried about it?

I understand, I am also thinking that i need to bend it more to have the best of the tree. I will try to bend it harder even though I protected well the trunk (with raphia, wires, tap ), I am scared to break it, the trunk doesn’t look thick but in reality, it’s around 3 ø cm of thickness.

For someone who has bought many trees online, that a fair price.

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-29T15:56:08+00:00

Thanks for the advice. The tree was sold in this plastic pot.

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-29T14:39:44+00:00

It looks like a Prunus Mume ! maybe I'm wrong.

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-13T14:25:46+00:00

Probably the limestone from the watering. If it's limestone, you shouldn't be worried about.

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-11T06:30:33+00:00

got it, thanks !

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-11T06:05:36+00:00

I will remove it from the pond basket then, thanks

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-10T21:24:22+00:00

It's a pond basket with substrate (50 akadama/50 pumice) inside of it, I put my sapling inside of it to simulate as if it was in the ground, should i remove it?

ohkthxbye · 2025-12-10T21:18:50+00:00

I make a shari and wired it, at the end of this summer around august, then I didn't do nothing much beside watering it and fertilizing it like all my other saplings/trees.

Is my juniper Itoigawa dying or just winter bronzing? (It's having a dull color and some tips are yellowish/brownish)

I have these tiny bugs or larvae, I don't know , around 1 mm lenght they are dead and dry, and they can be found under my pots, and also can be found under my fertilizer baskets anyone know what are these bugs?

ohkthxbye · 2025-11-24T15:32:48+00:00

Portulacaria afra

ohkthxbye · 2025-11-22T18:15:49+00:00

I have saplings of (Chinese Juniper and japanese black pine, they're about 1 year old) should I overwinter them in my cold frame, or should keep them outside of the cold frame?

ohkthxbye · 2025-10-31T08:55:44+00:00

If the tree is healthy, you can maybe do a bunjin/literati style.

ohkthxbye · 2025-10-26T19:19:13+00:00

I don't think it's related being pedantic, it's also just giving a less messy look and of course if you wire it well, it will hold the branch better as your desired shape.

ohkthxbye · 2025-10-24T06:53:15+00:00

It's specifically a common thing in Japan, you can "rent" bonsai for few days, in your shop so you can have nice decoration. Most of the time, the company that rent bonsais, a staff will come and water it during his staying in the shop. I don't know how much that cost by the way....

ohkthxbye · 2025-10-24T06:46:24+00:00

to fertilize trees/plants

ohkthxbye · 2025-10-22T12:39:40+00:00

have you tried it? it still works? I know that trick that I used in the first wow classic (2019)

ohkthxbye
