Thank you, you just taught me that I have been improperly caring for my Hawaiian Bonsai for the past 2 months. You have changed my bonsai's life for the better.
Not sure I understand “A new shoot will point in the same direction as the leaf immediately below the cut.” By “leaf” do you mean the “bud”? So you can do a hard prune on a long branch, and can choose the direction of the next stem by locating a bud (yes?) in the direction you want, and then pruning like ¼” or 1 cm above that? Thanks!
Thats correct, its about the bud. Make sure to cut a few mm away from the bud so it doesnt die back - and only prune back hard if the bud looks strong enough. I usually dont cut back too hard.
Thanks for the info. I just got a dwarf umbrella plant for next to my desk where it gets no natural light. I have set up a LBW Grow Light which has adjustable brightness and a 4/6/8 hour timer. How long should I have the light on it and at what power level? If possible I would like to have it on 8 hours just so I can look at it (i have a bunch of crystals in the pot too and like the way the glint in the light. Do you have any advice? There is a video on my channel of me planting it and where it is placed. Thanks!
HELP A BEGINNER!!!! I acquired 4 wild trees from the very hot and dry west Texas climate. They were junipers and pinyon or ponderosa pines. I don’t have any specialty bonsai stores around me here so I made my own bonsai soil using some potting soil we had left over, sphagnum moss, and some perlite for drainage. I’ve got them in bowls with good drainage and have been watering them at least every 2 days if not every day. The summer temperature where I’m at ranges from 26c-40c (80f-105f) and all of my plants on in direct sunlight. I’ve noticed some needles starting to brown on a couple of them and I would hate for them to die. If you have any information to help PLEASE send it my way

Perhaps post your question and some photos on our forum, at: www.bonsaiempire.com/forum
What would be a standard soil mix?
Hi Hector, see here: www.bonsaiempire.com/basics/bonsai-care/bonsai-soil
Hi, I have a channel bonsai in VietNam. It is Hogita. Could I reup some clip from your channel?
very interesting videos. Is it allowed to reupload videos on my Bonsai Empire channel on my AndiPoe TV channel??
Thank you in advance
I have one of these that's a little bit bigger and every time I put it in light the leaves seem to Go white
It likes light, but perhaps not full sun at midday - partial shade around noon til 4pm would be ideal.
👍👌🍎
Thanks Bruce!
Why the tree in the middle of pot,its not good in optical balance🤔 where is the perception of eye looking ? Maybe need repotition to right🤔
