Okay, first I am sadden at the loss as well. A tragedy, pure and simple.

The reason for the post is to wonder, out loud so to speak, is there ~any~
guidelines for the Bonsai fanciers to perhaps prevent this in the future?

I would think if not, some of you might consider making one and posting it
where it can be found easily. I know each time away from home can be
different but isn't there any hard and fast rules that must be adhered to
each day, for any kind of tree? Watering, nutrients, etc?

I didn't spend a lot of time looking but I thought there was a list of
Bonsai clubs, by area. This might be good to have, and updated too, if not
already done. Club members could lend a hand, or find a Bonsai sitter I
bet.

I suppose I'm asking for a lot, considering I don't even have a tree but I
really enjoy reading about them and looking at the nice pictures that get
posted at IBC pages and member's pages.

Thoughts, comments?
