Anyone Have Bonsai's?

[KaraKW]

I have a Japanese Juniper Bonsai that I received for my birthday in January. I love it, but it sure is devilishly high-maintenance! I'm currently having some problems with it, but have been working with some "bonsai" experts on another board to remedy them. It ocurred to me that there might be some "bonsai experts" here on the DIS! Anyone?

No, I just wanted to tell you that I think bonsais are cool!

I've never dared try it!

My brother gave me a bonsai when I was in high school. But, of course I killed it

Last weekend I went to a Bonsai show here in Houston. It is an absolutely amazing artform. Good luck to you!

I'm going to need all of the luck I can get!!

First, the "experts" on the bonsai board suggested I alter my watering regime. So I've done that and NOW I notice little spider webs on it --- ACK! Spider Mites -- the BANE of bonsai's!

Please send some high-powered gardening pixie dust my way; I'm going to need it!!
