#ficus bonsai

And a few other views from my art room this morning.

1) Ficus bonsai that I obviously haven’t done much training on

2-3) Two of my Hoyas that quite love being in this room; got them as 4” pots about two years ago and have had blooms on both

4) Variegated string of hearts, some vines have lost the variegation mutation

I just got a ficus bonsai tree and a juniper bonsai tree. I LOVE these little trees. They bring me great joy and peace when I look at them and care for them. They make my world more beautiful just by existing with me. I am very thankful for them.

Andy’s photo shoot with our new ficus bonsai

Yeah, here’s the progress so far of my little ficus bonsai which uhhhh currently is not looking much like progress because a draft this winter caused total leaf drop... it’s still green wood though and hopefully will soon put out new leaves.

Some of these photos may look out of order due to some trimming I did here and there to keep it from going too wild... I got this plant initially as a 2 inch “fairy garden” plant from work and as you can see it was trying to crawl out of the pot. I grew it in a deeper pot at first because I really wanted its trunk to thicken.

Which it did! A lot. I mean, dang it thicc and the trunk is also slowly turning a silvery color. The first picture was taken ~July 2015, most recent leafy picture was early October 2016. So it did a lot of growing in the past year and at one point had a wild amount of leaves. A big contrast to its currently nakey state.

I did fertilize it a few times also but I have no clue what with or what strength. I’m not sure whether to fertilize it now or after it’s started regrowing leaves though...

This is Wrigley and he's one of the most beautiful trees i've ever seen! Such an awesome grocery store find, all i did was give him a small trim and put him in a pot!
