| I am not into bonsai, though I have been keeping a Ph. n. Henon in a pint container for over a year and will continue to occassionally put small rhizome divisions into pot to attempt to establish. At least I claim I am not into bonsai although I am trying to bonsai bamboo, without putting any true effort into it. Chris |

| Chris, Sounds like indirectly you are bonsiaing,(is that a word?) a Ph. N Henon. I am growing Buddah's from seed and now I am definately going to try to bonsai it. Buddah's would look great as a bonsai. I have some Ph. Nigra but would have to wait til it shoots,(after this winter, if it shoots)to see if I can try that also. I would think bamboo would be difficult to bonsai due to it's fast growth rate, but oh it is so beautiful in those bonsai pics. Good Luck. |

| Keeping it in a small pot seems to be doing the trick so far. Time will tell. Sizing up of bamboo is an opportunity issue. Room to grow, Room to get big. I haven't even considered root trimming at this point, but expect after this summer it probably will be. Chris |

| I do some bonsai. Mostly japanese maples, but some bamboo also. I find dwarf bamboo the best to use. Link below is a pic. of one I made. |

| This isn't my photo. I saved it a while back from some website. Not exactly bonsai, but it has some of the bonsai appeal. This is Bambusa vulgaris "Wamin"

| I brought forward the thread I think you were referring to. It is "Bonzai? small variety". Hope this helps. |
