I can't afford one either for that matter. My next cell phone will have a camera so when i get it I'll be able to take some photos of all the neet stuff I have around here. i am eager for everyone to see my swamp trees grwoing in my aquariums. Bald cypress, water tupelo, swamp apple, and mangrove trees make wonder bonsia like displays in aquariums. Oh well, could have, would have.

If we are talking about
the same thing, then it is not native and most certainly invasive.
I would love to see your bonsai swamp trees!

As an ecologist here in Georgia, I enounter bald cypress and swamp tupelo all the time, but of course they're not bonsais.
So, to bring this *wonderful thread* back on-topic, how did you come to the 10% charcoal in the soil mixture? Was it experimentation, or just a guess that worked, or you read it somewhere?
