Taiwan Bonsai Creator Association

Posted in Interesting Websites by Adam

I am a frequent visitor of Min Hsuan Lo’s blog. He is probably my favorite bonsai artist and definitely one that I look up to for inspiration and ideas. He has written a few posts showing many pictures of fine bonsai from the Taiwan Bonsai Creator Association’s 11th annual exhibition. It took place between the 5th and 7th of July 2008.

Looking through the many amazing photos of the trees they all seem so perfect and almost unreal even.
I tried to pick the best part to post on here for you to look at but they are all as good as each other. So here are the full list to the photos:

Make sure you check back his blog often because he does some very neat stuff there!

Beautiful Indoor Bonsai For Sale In The UK

Chunky mame bonsai (update)

Posted in Misc. by Adam

A while ago I spoke about my new mame bonsai which needed training up.

I’m glad to say it’s going perfectly and could end up being one of my best looking bonsai to date! It’s still very small (about 2-3 inches) and is putting out loads of shoots. It’s had time to grow through the spring and summer and is looking pretty good. Have a look for yourself!

Wind Dangers

Posted in Weather & Seasons by Adam

Wind can be a dangerous mistress for your bonsai! Today in the UK we are experiencing severe gales of up to 70mph. This can be bad news where your bonsai are concerned.

- If you have monkey poles you should make sure that the pots are either tied down or place them on the floor while it is windy.

- Try to place exposed trees in more sheltered areas to minimize the risk of damage

- Look above for rotted branches in full sized trees. These can easily snap off in high winds and crush a poor bonsai!

- Resist the temptation to bring the trees indoors as this can do more harm than good with the extreme change in climate.

- Finally… Go and find a big open field and fly a kite in it.

Bonsai Gardening Secrets

Posted in Misc. by Adam

I’ve received an email from Tony P asking me for detailed advice on how to produce a nice looking bonsai. He is completely new at it and does not want to spend a lot of money on an old one and would prefer to do it himself. In his words

tell me all you know so that I can be a master

Well unfortunately there is a lot to say about learning the full art of bonsai and becoming a master! However there are many different secrets to create on old looking tree without having to sit around for years waiting for it to grow. I bought a fantastic ebook called “Bonsai Gardening Secrets” a little while back which taught me a lot of new tricks. Although I did know quite a few of them already from studying bonsai for the past however many years!

The book is also perfect for beginners as it gives a full A-Z guide full of everything you need to know about bonsai. There is also two interesting free ebooks with it at the moment which I didn’t get when I bought it as the offer wasn’t on at the time. :-(
One called “The Guide To Indoor Bonsai” and the other called “Your First Bonsai Tree: A Buyer’s Guide”.
