Ooooo good luck

 

I can't offer many tips as this is a new one for me too, when it arrives it does come with a care sheet specific to your tree though. I wanna see some pics when it arrives

How long did it take for yours to arrive ?

You guys might find this video interesting. My own experience with Bonsai has taught me that Beech don't respond well to my care, have had two lovely ones that just died overnight or so it seemed...

Loved bonsai for many years and this thread is getting me watching all kinds of videos, gonna go and start a bonsai form a nursery juniper as this appears to be the easiest way to get started...watch this space

My little Chinese elm arrived today.....in a 3ft tall box! That was to do with the fancy bows,ribbon and balloon on a stick it came decorated with! (It was a birthday present ) It came from Bonsaidirect according to the box.

 

I'll post a pic tomorrow hopefully

My dads got one of my larches I started 16 years ago and it looks pretty good now ! All the ones I have tried to look after and keep indoors seem to die , the out doors ones i gave kept faired better.

Chinese elm usually last me a few months I over water or under water can't work it out! .. You can bonsai anything though it just takes time, the larch above is good testimony to that!
