Bonsai basics
I have a coleus plant that I brought in for the winter and put in a south window -- I've done this before and coleus do really well like that.
Ok, so I cut back the plant considerably and it's now about 8" tall with what has become a woody stem about 1/2" diameter with a LOT of new growth starting to pierce out of that woody stem. So, I guess, in essence what I created by my cutting back the plant and not letting it flower, is bonsai? I know the process can be complicated in it's technique but can it also be as easy as what I just described? I did google "coleus bonsai" and yes, it's a plant that will work. I wonder what other plants (not bonsai trees) will do this? Other colorful annuals for example. ? |
