[Closed] Are there any Bonsai experts on here....

I know very little myself.

Thanks for the demonstration 🙂

I saw one yesterday. Or it could have been a big tree very far away.

If you bonsai an orange tree, would the oranges be tiny too or would it still try to grow normal sized oranges?

ISTR they drop leaves if the humidity is too low. I'd suggest you try out a cheap one first.

Don't know about bonsai, but if you start posting photos of your spiders next to tiny trees you will really freak people out. Looks forward to photos of spiders next to perfectly formed tiny trees.

I used to work in a bonsai tree shop in a previous life so i have a fair bit on hands on experience with these.

I would say the most fun, and cheapest way to get into this would be to do a bit of research about what kinds of trees would make good bonsai, then get yourself some soil (research that too), a pot, some wire, rooting powder, and then get a cutting from somewhere and start from scratch.

Getting one thats already done will be more expensive, you wont learn anything about them, all you will be doing is watering and occasionally trimming it, then when something goes wrong you won't know what to do and it will die. Where's the fun in that.

I have a Lemon and a calomondine Orange, neither are Bonsai's, the Lemon is about 6' tall, but the following may help. I have to bring them in during the winter as they are not frost hardy, but they are not happy about it, tend to drop leaves, growth can be a bit leggy as light isn't great.

They will flower and they will fruit, but it isn't very reliable as they have a tendency to drop fruits at the slightest provocation.

I would suggest if you can keep them frost free and outdoors they will be happier than indoors.

Mate of mine runs a bonsai business. It's going so well, he's had to move to smaller premises.

My coat? Why yes, thank you.
