Hello everyone,
I am new on the forum and I have been interested in starting my bonsai adventures for a little while now. I have been doing a lot of research online, reading, and watching videos. My adventures started with the idea for an indoor plant for my office at work and home. I quickly realized that the lack of water when I was gone from work did not make this feasible (the plant at home made more sense). I have recently almost finalized my decision to start with conifers (Juniper/Pine) to grow outdoors in the Colorado (5A/5B) climate. I feel this is a better option to start in such climate. Nonetheless, I love constant greens of conifers and appreciate the full canopies I have seen.
I will be purchasing my first junipers which are a few years old and at a reasonable price. I will include one Bonsai juniper to see the end and continue the attractive appearance. I will also start my adventures by adding a few pre-bonsai junipers to my purchase; thus, allowing me to use my artistic side, appreciate the process of wiring, potting/creating my own trained juniper, and simply have more junipers to work with.
If any of my plan is not the best idea, I am open to other options.
I wanted to introduce myself and thank you all in advance for allowing me to join your group. I hope to learn a lot from everyone and soak in all the mentor-ship which may be offered to me.
Regards,
Zan
