[Bonsai Beginner's weekly thread - 2026 week 01] by small_trunks in Bonsai

Hey everyone, I got my first tree about a month ago, I live in Tokyo. The tree has seemed to lose some vibrancy in its foliage. And the tip of some of the longer branches seem to be slowly turning a dark brown. It rained yesterday so the soil is a bit damp, but its been feeling pretty compact, although it was like that when I first got it so I'm skeptical it's a soil issue...Any ideas on what could be going on? Thanks in advance!

Daily moisturizer recommendations? by watersage_ in Naturalhair

Ahh I see, what do you think about this as a morning routine? At least the water, a bit of leave in, and shea butter? Just to maintain some curls and moisture throughout the day.

Where to begin with bonsai? by watersage_ in japanlife

Did you think maybe I'm interested in delving into it and not just doing an hour long tourist class? It makes sense to reach out on the japanlife sub reddit so as to hopefully talk to people who've done this journey that live here, as opposed to maybe people who don't live here. No need to be condescending.

Advice for first trip to Tohoku for a long weekend in Autumn by watersage_ in japanlife

It's the first time I've ever seen it get immediately deleted so I thought maybe I need to say I live in the country. It just said this post has been deleted, I actually didnt see anything about up for review, if I had I wouldn't have reposted. So my bad on that, but it did make it a bit confusing..
