Then I got a bonasi plant while i was in the hospital for elbow replaced surgery about 3 weeks ago. Please don't shoot the messenger! ;-) Growing any plant from a seed does not make it a bonsai.... Not that there is anything wrong with watching a seed develop, but be prepared for a long 10 year period before you might be ableto turn your seed into a Bonsai, In the mean time, I suggest you do a lot of reading and join a Bonsai club if there is one in your area. Creating a Bonsai from Nurserey stock is one of the ways to go and learn. There is a home course on the home page of the IBC which ou could follow. What help or advice can you give me. It has 3 plants,do I keep all 3 in pot. On the booklet with it it's called a Bloom-Rite bonasi. Any help would be helpful . I have wanted one for some time,but afraid if I got one I would kill it. The first thing to do is to identify your three tree planting.... Right now it's on the kitchen counter by a window and doing ok I guess. Want to bring it in the frontroom but not that much light just a picture window facing west with a tree in front. The best lighting is usually southern exposure. Would that be enough light ? Depends on the type oftree you have. Have you ever heard of a rock water fall and a Bonasi put together ? Yes, and that is one way to give your tree more humidity. Again, it depends on the type of tree. Just thought it would be neat and relaxing . I have along way to go to get to that point, don't I ?? Bonsai can be quite relaxing... The sound of water is a wonderful addition, but learn the basics of horticulture. Then the basics of Bonsai design. Read, read and then read some more. Stay with the IBC and read. :-[ Good luck, and welcome to the addiction. Carl L.
