名媛直播

Hm.. not sure I agree with this subset. Some of the best bonsai are created with trees that do not backbud. And trees with large leaves, or needles or schales can all make great bonsai. It is the person and his/her skill that determines whether something can be turned into bonsai I would say.

Is better to guide yourself for the specific tree once at a time and practice it than just reading books for 2 years and than buying your first tree.
Heck I've killed a lot of trees in order to learn how to keep them alive. The biggest killer action for me being that I've repotted in the wrong time of the year.
You have to take this step by step.

A little research before you bought plants would have taught you that each species prefers a specific moment to be repotted. So .. Do research first, then start working on the pant. You reduce the umber of trees killed greatly.

Ehm.. In summer some of my trees need watering twice a day. I do think however that that is NOT an issue of living in a temperate climate. You are referring to watering frequency. Because you have an enclosed (covered?) balcony, you are in a luck position where you can control water much better than when the trees are like in my case, standing outside in the full rain. If I use your substrate, hardly any of my trees would live through winter. The roots would just rot away from being soaking wet all the time.

Claudiu wrote: I didn't say it was easy at all. It's just not that complicated as some think. You just have to learn the basics of how plants work. After all bonsai is an art of styling plants - trees are plants too. It just takes a lot of time, and that's good because it teaches you patience.

Why don't you delight us with one of your magnificent creations. If 名媛直播 is really not that hard for you, you must be some kind of 名媛直播 talented genius, therefore you must have amazing specimens. Care to share?

That's... mean.

I agree with what Claudiu wrote, although he may have not explained himself properly.

For one thing, I think that 'It's not rocket science' could also mean that something isn't complicated. If not then that must just be a shared misconception.
For another, I'm pretty sure he's just saying that it's a lot simpler than most people realise and NOT ONCE did he say that it wasn't hard. He even said that he had killed many trees and in that quotation he said that it wasn't ''easy at all.''

I'm just wondering, did you read any of his posts properly before posting?

i posted a link to the definition. It means something is simple. 名媛直播 is NOT simple.
If it was simple we would all have magnificent trees. The daily posts with pictures proof most people don't.

Unless of course when you consider a wired cutting in a pot a bonsai. In that case, bonsai is simple indeed.

Your link said that it means something is not difficult to do or understand.

I was asking whether it is commonly misconceived as meaning something is not complicated (not by any means meaning simple).

Let's not play a semantics game. 名媛直播 is complicated, difficult, hard to learn and very hard to master.
Some trees are simpler than others, but they all require study, insight, talent and lots of work.
Only a lucky few are really talented. Most of us are just amateurs.

You just don't say an art is simple.... it makes no sense at all. It is quite simple to draw stick figures, it is also simple to write your name. It is simple to play 1 chord on a guitar. It is simple to make a mallsai. But creating a 名媛直播? not simple... and if it is simple, then I suck, because I find it extremely challenging.

Dude chill. I was just trying to say to the man who opened the topic that he doesn't have to be discouraged by people who say that it's hard and his tree is a piece of crap.
I've learned over the years about photography, photo editing and bonsai all on my own. I've been working in the IT dept. for over 13 years, also learned on my own.
For everything I do or you do there will be 1000 people that do it better.
The idea of my post was for him to overcome the criticize and do this if he likes the hobby.
By the way the critique must be constructive. Forums are for beginners that search help from others that know better. You seem to be forgetting that.
I am one of those beginners. And no, I can't show you some masterpiece because I don't have any. I only have trees in training. That doesn't mean I can't know the the theory.

As a young designer 15 years ago, I made the mistake of responding to an amazed client's question "How did you do that?!" with "Oh, it's easy." After the presentation, my mentor pulled me to the side with a grin on his face. "You did great," he said. "But, don't ever tell someone that what you do is easy. You've studied & worked very hard to be able to do the things you do. What's easy to you now was not easy to you then. Don't pass off the sacrifices you've made as 'easy', because this is not."

It does take time to fully grasp the concepts of anything, including bonsai. Even the 'simple' basics take time to master. I don't know how many times I've heard or read some snippet of information concerning a pruning, wiring, potting, training technique and not fully grasped it. How many trees have I killed over the years? How many botched wiring jobs? How many broken branches? And then one spring, you've spent a few hours pruning & wiring an old friend, and the movements are familiar, and the branches are where you wanted them, and the wiring is clean, and the soft breeze is wonderful. It was so easy, right! No, it has taken years to be able to do this. I am an amateur, I still make mistakes, I am still learning, and I am always amazed when something finally clicks.

Keep learning.
