I've got a Satsuki azalea, and I'm a bit confused about how often I need to water it now that it's June and getting quite warm.

After a few tries, I think I've figured out why my bonsai apple tree, a Malus 'Evereste', isn't fruiting. Could it be too much fertilizer? I'm worried it might be affecting the blooms, which should turn into apples.

Just repotted my juniper into a mix with akadama, and I'm not sure if I'm using too much. It's holding moisture a lot longer than I expected, especially with the warm weather right now.

I've had my Ficus retusa for two years, and I swear figuring out the right lighting has been the biggest challenge. It's like every room has its own opinion on how much light to provide! Initially, I had it sitting by a north-facing window,...

Last summer, I decided to re-pot my Acer palmatum (Japanese Maple) into something a bit more fitting. I originally had it in a plain terracotta pot, but I wanted something that really complemented the tree's delicate structure and vibrant l...

Started Shin Deshojo cuttings back in early April, looks like I got some strong rooting! Potted them up in three inch pots with small grain akadama. Used Hormex 8 rooting hormone and placed all cuttings in a pot with small grain akadama ins...

I'm working on a trident maple right now, and man, those roots can drive you nuts. I bought it two years ago, and back then, it just looked like a tangled mess. I didn't know how critical it was to start working on that root flare, or nebar...
