So i gained a lot of interest in Bonsai since i was like 14, which was a year ago,yes..im 15...
Great... That is, in my opinion, a magnificent time to start learning and growing Bonsai. Fallbacks might come, just don´t give up. This hobby/art has a very strong tendency to reward those who persevere.
I attempted a sage bonsai as we have a good size sage plant with an old-looking trunk,accidentally killed it because i pruned too many roots,
First lesson... Please, do learn, do study, do your research, etc., before doing anything drastic to your trees/plants. Your success rate will increase exponentially if you sit, think, study, learn before acting or executing an irreversible technique over your trees/plants. Patience and time are the name here in this art/hobby.
and now im trying to train a Juniper Squamata into an informal upright style,only thing that i've done was remove all the foliage that was blocking the view of the trunk.
Again... Same advise as before... Idem
I'm having some difficulties with deciding what branches to remove,some branches are still pretty thin so removing them can reduce the problem with styling it in the future.i will post a pic soon and any advice will be helpful..cheers!!
Post a picture indeed. There isn´t much we can do without a photograph... Just one thing... Based on several previous posts that we all at some point have experienced, please, do make sure that you are keeping your Juniper outdoors and not inside your house/apartment/flat. If you do, please, do bear in mind that that is a Juniper killer issue.
Hope this might have been of help.
