# I need some help here friends, I’m debating if I want to try starting…

I need some help here friends, I’m debating if I want to try starting up a bonsai journey or start a bamboo journey. I tried bonsai before but the soil / seeds got moldy so I got discouraged. I’ve never tried bamboo. What do you guys think? As for a bonsai a standard pine style (if I’m saying it correctly) or a Japanese red maple would be fun to try. Thoughts? I already have a bonsai starter kit, wires, and soil for it along with the ceramic pot once it’s time.

If at first you don’t succeed try again 😊 I love bonsai trees they’re so neat

I think in bonsai is a challenge it is so easy to forget to water/  
overwater. Pests love bonsai so you always have to check soil and leafs. I would start with a mungo pine I have one right now and it does well. Though the hardest challenge is patience watching it grow not over wiring or pruning. But the results are worth in my opinion.

Thank you both! I’ll look for those type of seeds 🙏
