I’ve recently become enamoured with bonsai.
I think the thing I like about it is the time; it takes a very long time to grow a bonsai from scratch. It takes sustained effort and care, thinking ahead, planning, and waiting. Sitting on your hands.
It could be a cool thing to leave to the next generation; not that I plan on having a next generation, but just in case it’d be nice to have.
I ate lots of noodles today because the canteen was on strike. Extremely annoying, let me tell you… The menu sounded delicious too.
Better luck next time.
The Fiverr payment is gonna take 2 weeks to clear, and I’ve already spent about half the tutoring payments… If I keep with the tutoring, I’ll buy a subscription to the tutoring website to see if i can get more students. That could be cool.
And with that, I’m off.
What bonsai where you looking at? I’ve seen a few pretty small leaf maples.
The pottery requiered is interesting as well, as the roots need containment, and restrainment, but good hydration too
I’ve been looking at a bunch of different species and styles on YouTube. This video specifically I thought was amazing! So many amazing works of art.
My first searches were fruit trees — I thought cute little apples and pears would be super cool — but I found them a little underwhelming.
I’ve really liked cascade and semi-cascade styles.
Maples are beautiful; I’ve seen a few that just looked beyond stunning, just unbelievable. I’ve also seen a lot of juniper bonsai.
