___Hello again gardening people. I finally have a picture of my last bonsai ___ It is a varigated cypress, about 7" tall, & about 8 years old. I started it as a cutting & used some rooting hormone to help things along. For the last 3 years, it has lived as you see it on a shelf in a covered porch. It rarely receives direct light & as most bonsai do, requires regular watering.
___I found bonsais left outside tended to naturally aquire moss spores & grow moss over the soil; this even if I spread gravel or rock. The gravel serves to keep the soil from washing away during watering, it helps the soil retain moisture, & it adds visual interest to the setting.
___Well, I tend to run on. Just make yourself small & have a seat under my little cypress.
