I did a photo shoot with some of my trees and this one is refusing to change colors for fall lol I am in Alabama and it’s been unseasonably warm so it may end up just dropping them at some point with no show colors.

Hello. I'm very new to caring for plants. I just got this bonsai 6 weeks ago. It's starting to brown. I have it in the sunny window 6/8 hours a day and watering/fertilizing it according to the Planta schedule. Any ideas on how do help it?

Hi there! I’m new to the bonsai matters community and had a question about my bonsai tree ( believe it is a ficus microcarpa ginseng). I had a go at pruning her as she had two long branches with a few of leaves growing but made the shape very awkward. Is this okay and is there any tips to allowing for a bushier look? Many thanks :) (also note I’m having a go with propagation with the branches I trimmed off!)

Has anyone tried their hand at kokedama? I've been brainstorming what to do with this spare moss I have. And I just live the look of these guys.

Hi everyone, I’m sorry for the info dump. I’m a total novice to bonsai and new to this group, but I’d like to start getting into it because I find it fascinating. I wanted to know how do you start a bonsai project, I have a lemon tree which I’ve attached below; my mother gifted to me and it was in poor shape so I managed to get it looking a bit better. I live in Belfast and I get full sun on the balcony where it stays during summer; I think it’s west facing window. I believe I have it in an all purpose potting, citrus soil and a bit of mulch. I haven’t repotted it since I received it; so it’s in its nursery pot. I’d like to maybe repot but not sure what you all think. This is its most recent state. It has more leaves now. I want to know how I can make a bonsai out of it, how if so and any tips and tricks I could learn from. Also any advice or suggestions for soil mix, pot mix, and techniques would be massively appreciated 🙏

I fertilized my bonsai right before leaving for a 6 day trip and came home to these 3 new VERY long skinny branches of new growth. Is it normal for new growth to come in so thin or is it a sign of not enough sunlight?

Hiya, this plant was given to me as a gift, I am wanting to learn how to look after it properly as a beginner! Would anybody be able to help me identify what type of bonsai it is? Thanks ☺️ 🪴

Hi everyone, I just started getting into plants and I got me a bonsai tree, I’ve always loved them and found them unique. I got a window seal planter for multiple different succulents and I didn’t know if it was OK to plant the bonsai tree among those succulents compared to a smaller pot. Thank you:)

I just got a bonsai’d money tree from Home Depot. She’s isolating but I need to repot her into something with drainage and some air flow. Should I use well draining soil designed for bonsai or my standard soil for house plants?

Some cuttings from this guy from when I first got him from a Bonsai class where we trimmed and potted. Can they stay in water or should I pot them?

Can someone give me some advice on this, please? My husband has had this bonsai for a couple of years. We moved to Phoenix from CA where I told him it’s best to have it as an inside plant. He told me I should just take care of it. In my opinion, it doesn’t look very healthy. I actually repotted it into more of a bonsai mix soil. and when I went to misted some of my plants, I noticed that there was some mist that landed on it and I saw these webs. What are they, how do I get rid of them? If it’s OK and it’s nothing to worry about. I’m just gonna have to CPR it into good health. Thank you for all your advice. Much as needed.
