‪@BonsaiYEAH‬ started this challenge where you have to create a bonsai with a budget of $50. We were challenged by ‪@FrostBiteBonsai‬ so we visited our local garden center and found a decaying bonsai material! We turned the challenge into a rescue mission. Now, we challenge ‪@SamDoeckeAussiebonsaibloke‬ !

Great job, Sensei. Bought a nearly identical ficus today. Making a round pot for it. Need time to gather defoliation courage.

@Bonsai Science For the most FUN and creative in challenge so far. But this out of the more than a dozen I have watched is closest to a "true" Bonsai straight after the challenge

my 9 year old son did something like this. I was picking up an order and he found a Ficus that was in severe need of help. We ended up getting 2 for the price of one and they are both starting to show new growth! spent a total of maybe $38!!

I knew as soon as I saw the tree it would be a windswept. You should put it up for auction after it gets established, that is going to be a nice tree.

Kind of surprised you didn’t go for a shallower pot, but I suppose it wouldn’t have been in the $50 budget assuming that you put ~$25 into the plant and $10-20 into the soil and everything else. I’d love to know what your creative thinking was in that respect, given the limitations of the challenge

@WeareTheBonsaiSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! the pot came with the tree. I looked for the best possible tree, and thought I could make any pot work. If I would have had money left over I would have gone into a shallower pot for sure.

@cartilagehead6326 2 жыл бұрын

@@WeareTheBonsaiSupply I understand. I think we’ve been to the same chain of store and seen the same kinds of ficus and Chinese elm bonsai. Do you think those pots can work well for something like a semi cascade/cascade? Maybe a small azalea? I saw an elm that I might end up buying and I’m trying to think of what I’ll do with the pot. Right now I’ll probably just stick a cactus in it. :P

It's a fun idea, might have to suggest it as a club activity on our Facebook page. It's a bit early here yet although could kick it off with a deciduous tree.✌
