my one year bonsai.

 

Fig 1: One year old 'Kemuning' repotted in two inches high bonsai pot.

This is one of my first small pot bonsai which I care most. I've used 2 inches high bonsai pot which I bought from the auction sale just for RM 10. In order to maintain the humidity of the soil i've mixed the common soil with compost type of soil. The latter soil helps to retain the water composition inside soil (it traps an amount of water for quite a long time). 

 

Fig 2: Displayed without moss decoration.

Beside, I've decorated the soil surface with a little bit moss community to enhance the appearance of the bonsai. Honestly,I can't wait to see it in the next 2 years,and so with the others.

how to make a cut?

figure A: the branch before cut

figure B: the branch after cut

This observation was done by myself. If you want to make a suitable cut on a tree branch,make sure you cut at the exact area in order to produce the new desired branch. In figure A,this is how the branch before cut and in figure B is how the branch after cut. The important to make cut at the exact area is to produce another 'double-branch' on the edge of the cut making the branch to double at both left and right side. The cut was left for 7 days.
