Hey everybody,

I am Stefanos from Greece, and I am new to the 名媛直播 hobby. I started training a ficus ginseng two years ago, which is still alive and doing very well despite my bad techniques. Recently, I decided to add more species to my collection. I bought new trees and still searching for new ones. So far, I have:

1) A ficus ginseng: My first buddy, recently transplanted. I'll start feeding it with organic fertilizer once a month.
2) A small olive tree: I want to transplant in a bigger pot (without touching the rooting system) using a substrate of 75% pumice gravel and 25% peat.
3) A juniper: I carefully pruned it to see its trunk and decide the next steps.
4) A Rhaphiolepis: As far as I understand, this guy is not that suitable for training. I don't know what to do with this one. I need your help with that. Try turning it into a bonsai tree, or leave it to evolve into a shrub?Thank you very much in advance!

Hello and welcome! Some comments that you may or may not know yet:

1: the challenge to this tree is to get a good looking nebari. Nigel Saunders have a few developing in the right way. Sheck his wood carving teqnice on Youtube.

2: when slippotting into bigger container its best to shose similar soil mix as the one the tree is growing in right now.

3: Nice material! Take it to a bonsai workshop near you and get help from experienced bonsai artists for initial styling.
