Using plants and materials from my bonsai collection, I create an African kopje landscape. The trees are Serissa foetida bonsai, styled to look like African Acacia trees. Today's update is my Aloe bonsai.

It proves that even though sometimes, your tree has to look like a stick planted in the ground, with patience and good care, you can have them look proud just like the big boys out there.

Really enjoyed watching how you build this landscape. The sand roadways were a nice touch but I wanted to ask if there was any need for concern about the sand working its way down into the root system and causing problems with roots/drainage
@TheBonsaiZone7 жыл бұрын
I have done this technique before and when I re potted the tree, the sand stayed as a nice layer on top of the bonsai soil. When the sand dries out it is a little more difficult to water, you need to wet the sand first and then you can water as per normal. The sand will actually draw moisture out of the bonsai soil up to the top layer of sand, it seems to keep your bonsai soil at a nice humidity level.

Great idea and even better execution. I feel that as this landscape grows and you get the chance to refine it, it may soon become a real showpiece. On a side note, do you think that using worm 'wee' will be beneficial and sufficient fertilisation for my bonsai trees. I have a worm farm and have been wondering about it.
@TheBonsaiZone7 жыл бұрын
The worm castings are very good for the garden and may be of benefit to the bonsai as well. The fine particles may tend to clog up the air spaces in the bonsai soil, but I'm sure a layer on top of your planting wouldn't hurt. Some people put organic matter in tea bags and place these on top of the soil as a natural fertilizer. I would try it and see how it goes!

Check out LA Nolan's youtube channel. All his trees are growing indoors with grow lights. kzfaq.info/love/UPnojoIz0Nrjet9XzGBD3Q Most trees should have 4 hours of daylight per day, from a sunny window. If you don't have a window, you might have to use grow lights. You can get LED ones now that are a little cheaper to run.
