Sowed some seeds on 4 October...8 of them actually.
It's of a plant whose name I've forgotten. Need to check it up again. It was a long (almost scientific) name...:D
They're supposed to germinate in 2-3 weeks...fingers crossed that seedlings will sprout!
===============
FIL gave me a pot of bonsai a week ago. He also gave me a small pot carrying 1 desert rose baby plant. Bigger than a sapling but not as big as a full-sized plant yet....
Hope these 2 pots hold out well on my balcony!!
===============
I've a small ficus ginseng that I'm intending to make my first bonsai with. Noob attempt.
For my bonsai soil mix, I used the following and I hope it'll work for me....
5 scoops - akadama and kanuma soil mixture
5 scoops - organic compost
4 scoops - volcanic soil
3 scoops - sand
3 scoops - perlite
2 scoops - potting soil (about 1/3 of this was coco coir)
I've mixed the soil already and prepared my pot. All that's left now is to remove the plant from the pot it came in...clean its root ball, maybe trim some roots if needed, and then transplant it into the ceramic pot I prepared....
Will find time for it this Thursday when I'm on leave...
