名媛直播

Back in February I was talking to a friend who is into growing herbs, and I told him I've been reading about 名媛直播 and was getting ready to start with the hobby this year. He told me 名媛直播 are really hard to take care of, and that he had a 名媛直播 given to him as a present that seemed to be dying. He showed it to me (he had it indoors...) and it was a mallsai. The Procumbens Nana was dying, some branches were dried and definitely lost and a lot of the foliage was going brown and there was little green on the tree. I explained to him, that from my Juniper's book the tree shouldn't be indoors, and it was probably already dead. He gave me the Juniper, and I told him I would try to save him, and give it back to him after a few years if it survived. I thought it would be a great learning experience, and it was free material.

I took the tree with me, and immediately put it outside so it would get its dormant period. Took care of it, mist it twice a day, watered every now and then, and cut everything that was definitely dead. One of the branches closest to the trunk was half broken, and it had green and brown foliage. I read online that using crazy glue on a broken branch can help it heal, so since I didn't have anything to lose and the branch wasn't brittle (still alive) I glued it.

Once early spring arrived, I proceeded to re-pot the tree, this was risky cause the tree already had been through a lot. However, the mallsai soil had glued synthetic moss and rocks on it, and wasn't very good. The tree was also root-bound, with large roots circling around it, so I guessed that if this tree would ever had a chance, it needed to be re-potted. Shadow spot, mist leaves everyday, the tree started to recover.

Today, the tree shows good color, and it has new growth, even on the glued branch. However, the glued branch does not look very strong. My plans are to let this tree grow wild, untouched for this season or maybe even two, until it recovers from almost death. As you know, I am very inexperienced, so I hope that with your help, we can turn this resurrected mallsai, into a small cascading bonsai.

Unfortunately I did not take pictures of the tree when it was given to me. But I do have pictures from March, April, and today of course. I will post them as soon as I get home!.

I have some on my phone from early spring, end of April, when the tree started to show new buds. Circle in red, the glued branch.

I would definitely let the little guy grow free for at least a year, though two might be better. Keep it fed, and it sounds like you have the watering down. I believe you also don't repot junipers every year, even when they're small, but look into that. Considering its near death experience, I wouldn't repot for a few years either way.

Great job saving it!

hm.. The picture you show is after the repotting? It looks very wet, and algea-dominated already. Be very carefull watering this. Alternatively, consider planting it in the ground for a few years, so you get a bit more volume n the plant.

It is wet moss, not algae. Picture is right after watering so that's why it is so wet. The for the input!

It does look sort of like "wet moss", at least it's not moldy. Hopefully it's not raining every day, like here.
Like we tell everyone, Junipers like it on the dry side.
I think it aught to turn out right nice.

Not that you can do anything today, but what is your soil content? It is important.

3 laters. Pumice, mid fir bark, and only at the top organic soil for shrubs. It doesn't matter. The tree got stolen, so there won't be any updates on this. Isn't that stupid? Why would someone steal this. It will die in the following weeks.... I have much nicer bonsai, whoever stole it is an idiot. I don't know what to do now thoug, I don't think I can grow bonsai, to much work to get then stolen.

Don't let it discourage you. You can work on something more suited to indoor until such time you're in better position to have outdoors. Keep studying and learning.

oh man; what a drag...

thank them, don't give up

I might move all my bonsai to 5 gallon pots next year and keep them there until I move somewhere out of town... They won't steal if they are in heavy pots. It truly pisses me off, I honestly don't know why someone would steal this, and they're obviously going to kill it I doubt they can take care of it. When humans in a developed country steal an undeveloped, young $5 plant on a 3$ pot I lose all hope for humanity. Seriously, this is not something they can sell or eat. The reason it was stolen was because they probably thought my bonsai (which are all undeveloped) were "cool", and just wanted to take one, so they took the smallest one. Get in my property to steal a plant, risk yourself to steal a stupid plant. There is nothing special about humans, nothing, we are the worst species in this planet.

Look on the bright side. Apparently someone found the pot and plant pretty enough to steal.

There is nothing special about humans, nothing, we are the worst species in this planet.

Interestingly, humans mostly mean 'all other humans' with above line.
