Question by tyler: Im interested in growing a bonsai tree and i have a few questions that i cant find answers to. Pleas help?
Okay any advice here is completely accepted that being said…….
1. I have recently found an interest in bonsai. I have watched a lot of videos and read a lot of articles but none have answered these questions. I went out and clipped a branch of af a crepe myrtle tree (very pretty when in bloom) i figured i could grow roots on it by setting it in water for a few weeks. Will this work? and if not how can i make this plot to where it does work?
2. Where can i get supplies for this project ( I live in Irving Texas just north of Dallas) Supplies like the pot the soil some of the wire mesh and wire. I don’t have a credit card so i can’t order online.
3. Are Crepe Myrtles indoor or outdoor trees, how often should they be watered and what ind of climate do they originate from. To be frank, where do they originate from.
4. And last but not least. I wish to tap into you creative side. I have to small branches of it i was thinking i might be able to at some train them to twist around each other is this or is this not a excellent thought if not what should i do with them?
For all you help thank you in advance.
also any tips you could give me would be greatly appreciated
