Now is the season when poor watering causes pockets of dry soil in the pot. The roots in these pockets will weaken and die, <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">compromising</span> the health of the whole plant. The roots that are healthy will be near the top and sides of the pot. Here they will be more succeptable to drying and freezing.<br /><br />On the other hand a well hydrated plant should survive a hot, hot day; <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">desiccating</span> winds; or a variety of other ailments. The bonsai will grow more evenly, the nebari will form nicer, and the leaves will remain more lustery.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-13819246203173106942008-05-13T09:51:00.001-07:002008-05-13T09:54:05.994-07:00Pothole Bob's InviteEveryone is invited up to Bob's house to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">veiw</span> his collection.

If we pre-order plants through Russel Nursery, then we don't have to worry about permits and brokers and too much volume.<br /><br />The Heritage catalogue is posted on the webpage under featured websites. On page 40 there is a list of common bonsai species that Heritage grows.<br /><br />At the meeting there will be someone collecting pre-orders for Russel Nursery/Heritige Seedlings. The final prices will be 3 times the wholesale price plus tax. This springs' $5.99 acer buergerianum (trident maple) will be next spring's (if pre-ordered) $3.75 acer.<br /><br />There are some conditions. They cannot bring in Oaks or Pines this year. As well, they must order in bundles of 25. Yes, this means dispite the reaserch you did into the ginko "chi chi," unless together we get 25 ordered, there will be no ginko "chi chi."<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-71620222968485092492007-10-09T10:18:00.000-07:002007-10-09T10:20:25.222-07:00Whack and ChatJust a reminder that all members are encouraged to bring trees to whack, and to chat it up.

I just removed these wires this week. <br />One of the whips is <em>very</em> wire scarred. I think it is going to go into the garden to grow to a point where its currently mangled trunk won't matter.<br />The other tree is fine. I took off the wire at the perfect time to keep the marking to a minimum, but the tree is holding its place.<br />The tree has grown one set of branch about 5-6 leaves before they were trimmed to two; then they have budded and leafed but are only at 2-3 leaves.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-74084690349590968912007-06-21T16:24:00.000-07:002007-06-21T23:33:41.593-07:00Wire off ChestnutTook the wire of my horse chestnut today.

My bonsai soil dries out enough to water daily. These trees I will have to move into more shade as the seasons pass. The plants in nursery soil have to be watered daily even though they are not dry. If they are not watered daily when warm, it is difficult to re-wet them. Watering them so much causes worts and mushrooms to grow - because of warm, wet soil. Guess what else grows well? Bacteria and molds which kill trees. But it is that or a sure death with dehydration.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-15738350944489223092007-06-04T21:16:00.001-07:002007-06-04T21:18:45.959-07:00Trees on saleAt cannor nursery next weekend - the 9th and 10th. 20% off everything in the store, both locations.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-75851943961813117562007-05-31T15:33:00.001-07:002007-05-31T15:40:07.422-07:00Jinn and PaintingIn detail painting, one often uses different toned colors in a layering <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">fashion</span>. The most obvious example is painters who make <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">ceramic</span> pots look like old and rusty metal pots. The use a dark red all over, then several lighter reds - applied less over the pot then the previous layers as to see the previous layers, then the silver on top of the reds - to make the red look like rust and the pot like metal.<br />So in jinn, especially on big jinn, why don't we start with some darkened lime sulphur, and finish with the whiter?<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-8440569520821747222007-05-30T14:50:00.000-07:002007-05-30T14:56:05.934-07:00Lime Sulpher-ing Jinn (deadwood)I applied lime sulphur today.

There are three numbers on all fertilizers, like this 10-10-10. These numbers always stand for nitrogen, phosphorus, and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">potassium</span>. These correlate to leaf growth, root growth and plant health.<br />If one is diligent with their plant, one can feed one's plant any plant food whatsoever.<br />However, if one is poor at plant care, even a perfect nutrient mix can weaken or kill a plant.<br />Fertilizers are made of salts, which <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">dissolve</span> in water. The plant is salty too, usually more so then the nutrient solution. When the salty water touches the salty plant, all the water involved (and the nutrients) go to the saltiest area. <br />When the plant is salty, then the plant absorbs the water and nutrients. <br />If one is over feeding one's plants, then there will be an accumulation of unabsorbed salts in the soil. One day this accumulation will result in the water/nutrient solution to be saltier then the plant. In this case the salty water inside the plant will be drawn outside the plant by the salty water/nutrient mix. When this sad thing happens, the plant will dehydrate, even though it is surrounded by water.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-35065511129073005052007-05-22T09:16:00.000-07:002007-05-22T09:27:16.487-07:00Gardening Literature and Sick PlantsThis is a rant.<br />The Otho professional garden problem solver, one of the largest books (and most comprehensive) for solving plant problems, suggests this as a remedy for juniper root rot.<br />"When replanting area, use plants which are resistant to root rot."<br />When one is talking about their 20yr juniper that was grown from seed, this answer is utterly useless.<br />Another fellow, on the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">internet</span>, discussed a maple disease he called tight bark syndrome. He claims that it is not a well know disease, because people who have infected plants tend to discard them. He argues that as long as people consider maples cheap and easy to replace, then maple diseases will remain common. <br />These are problems the plant health <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">professionals</span> are not interested in because common tree buyers don't love their plants - they love things about the plants.<br />We love our plants.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1861783362767505581.post-53432040689514627922007-05-16T14:27:00.000-07:002007-05-16T15:01:14.576-07:00Hardiness of Boxwoods<a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_VmJSqSEgomI/Rkt-wDR5mQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/n0wBcmGC7lo/s1600-h/DSCF8096.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5065281569887459586" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_VmJSqSEgomI/Rkt-wDR5mQI/AAAAAAAAAAw/n0wBcmGC7lo/s320/DSCF8096.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I have reduced a 3 gallon (8" tall, 12" wide) potted boxwood (16" bush diameter) to a 6.5" tree with a dozen leaves, with a 4" round <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">rootball</span>.</div><br /><div>It looks great.

Just a large piece of wire on the trunk, in a sort of S shape. Today I noticed a <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">smidgen</span> of wire biting, so I removed the wire. Where the wire touched the tree, the bark was grey. The tree also sprung back, or didn't take, about 35% of the bend.<div class="blogger-post-footer">webmaster@victoriabonsai.bc.ca</div>VIBC Bonsai Personhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09864496309617353805noreply@blogger.com0
