I haven't been on in forever and, in fact, just created a new account because my old one was so out-dated. I thought I'd update everyone on the progress on my bonsai. The first is a bald cypress I just got. Since, I have planted it in the ground in the pot so the roots will grow out the holes and, eventually, thicken the trunk. The second is a ficus benjamina that was huge and spindly and in a regular pot. But I recently did a transplant, as you see in the picture, a partial defoliation later, and it is doing very well, now! The third one looks aweful, and I know. I had just done a hard prune and it took a while for the new buds to break, but, since the picture, they have and it looks MUCH better! Any comments or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks for reading!
