[IBC] Tropical Trees 2
 
Hello and Good Day to All,
Leslie,

I have grown the Silk Cotton from seed [or rather
it grew itself,there are trees nearby]and from
small plants just pulled up.

The sandbox was just pulled up.Rainy season.

However,I normally grow anything from the wild
in a 1 gallon or so pot,to re-start the fine roots
and build a "core".
Without leaves.
Then it's just lift and re-pot yearly,reducing the root
mass all around by 1 to 3" depends on what I see
as a root mass.

They both handled living in a 4" pot very well,but the
results never merited a bonsai container.
Until later.

*Oh,the silk cotton plants can live in less than 1/4" of
soil [ like the small yellow fruited guava.].I have had the
seedlings grow to 2' doing this in abandoned pots.

Thanks Khaimraj,

You probably grew them from seed I know, but how tolerant were they of

rough
treatment in a bonsai pot?

Leslie
