Bonsai-how-to: Flowering Bonsai Trees

bonsai-how-to.blogspot.com presents a lovely gallery of charming flowering bonsai trees you can grow from seed.

AIR LAYERING IS A TECHNIQUE TO MAKE ROOTS GROW FROM A BRANCH ON A TREE. (MY APOLOGIES FOR THE POOR QUALITY VIDEO AFTER THE FIRST SECTION-THE RESULTS OF THE SECOND SECTION ARE CLEARLY SEEN AT THE END)ONCE THE ROOTS HAVE SPROUTED, YOU CUT THE BRANCH OFF BELOW THE ROOTS AND PLANT IT AS A BONSAI. THIS METHOD IS GOOD FOR PLANTS THAT DON’T DO WELL WITH CUTTINGS OR SEEDS, AND IT GIVES YOU A NICE THICKENED TRUNK RIGHT AWAY. I HAD BAD LUCK WITH THIS METHOD WHEN I LIVED UP NORTH (PHILA.) BUT I AM HOPEFUL THAT THE TROPICAL TREES HERE IN FLORIDA WILL TAKE TO THIS METHOD.(***PLEASE VIEW PART 12 ABOUT THE WARNING ON HANDLING SPHAGNUM MOSS BEFORE YOU WORK WITH SPHAGNUM MOSS***).
