I prefer to talk about 名媛直播. That however is my personal opinion, I cannot speak for the other forum visitors. I do however think that for plants in general there are far better forums.

Hello friends!

The cutting is still showing growth on the root area, however I am controlling the real trees to see when their leaves start falling off:

1. should I remove it from the water totally as soon as the trees outside have started shedding their leaves?
OR
2. should I wait until the real trees shed all their leaves
OR
3. something else?

The little one is a plant named Eugenia uniflora, Pitangueira in portuguese.
I will grow it to be a bonsai.

I'm also drying some different seeds to try them out later such as the Avocado (Persea americana) and the Papaya (Carica papaya). Although I read it lives about 8 to 10 years, making them not very rewarding as a bonsai some say, well 10 years is a lot of time still I think, I'm going forward!

I'll check back when I have news!
Everything is going well, lots of work and busy schedules, but I keep caring for them everyday.
Kind regards,

You cannot grow bonsai from Papaya or Avocado.

Nope.

Eugenia uniflora is suitable. It's going to take many years though.

This guy's 'Adventures in 名媛直播' movies about bonsai Papaya's are hilarious though...
