I'm not sure if you got what I meant:
The guidelines for all species on the BB site are mostly identical. While they have a page for every species, the guidelines are generic ones and not specific for the species on that page. Simply create a page for a species, copy/paste to next page of other species. I never use that site whe I'm looking for specific care guidelines.

you're right.. I didn't get what you meant. I looked up Bonsai Boy and realized I was thinking of Bonsai4me. My mistake.
Bonsai4me seems as though it has some good information. I looked up info on mugo pines and read an honest opinion on when to repot. It was refreshing.

So pay better attention when you advice certain websites. Bonsaiboy is a website related to a webshop selling crap. Bonsai4me is one of the best non-commercial sites out there.

Or else, for the same price, this amazing impression of a real, ancient tree in nature:

I was sitting on the toilet when reading this. I was in a stuck situation for 10 minutes, if you know what I mean. Seeing this picture helped me getting the job done.
