| It's a little etiolated - the growth is too spindly. More light's needed for it to grow well. |
|
| cactusmcharris: You are right, but I do not have any more "Window Spsce".... Maybe i will try it outside. Here is a photo of a Jade bonsai in small pot. It does not fall over (top heavy) because all the rocks in the pot add weight. |
|
| Another jade bonsai....This is one that I wacked the top off about 6 months ago. |
|
| This aloe wants to go for a walk far from the pot. |
|
This Gollum jade was my first attempt at working with a plant to make it look like bonsai.  This one was a branch growing low on the first one that I cut off and rooted.  I like seeing my jade plants in a tree form and frequently whack them back to fatten up the trunks. Mike |
|
| Nice plants Mike,,,,,,,,,here is my "FINGERS IN A POT" |
|
| More fingers ( with red nails )...Is this the red horn tree I see talked about on GW ???? |
|
| Another Crassula Ovata bonsai in a shallow dish ( from Asian dollar store) The pot that is,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, |
|
| Calif, cool little plants! How big is your 'fingers in pot' Jade? I wish I could tell if what you've got there is red horn but I can't tell them apart unless they're RIGHT next to each other, lol. Even then it's iffy. Thanks for sharing pics. I could look at these guys all day long, it never gets old. Antoinette |
|
| :::: hookilau::: The "Fingers in Pot" is 8 inches tall from bottom of pot to top of plant. Here is another tiny pot with a aeonium hawarthii......The plant is a tip cutting from a large 15 year old mother plant grown outdoors. This plant roots easily. |
|
| Crassula Ovata. i like to put plants is smallish pots. |
|
| Can I call this a bonsai ??? Hope it will stay small. |
|
| Aloe bonsai ??? This is another tip cutting from a huge plant. This pot is about 4 inches wide. |
|
| Gasteria has 3 pups on each side of the main plant. Anyone else going to post photos of succulents is shallow pots ??????? I would love to see what you are doing. |
|
| Another dish of jade. |
|
| "Spider" aloe seems to like the indoors and is showing new growth. |
|
| Loved the pics!!!! Calif, the spider aloe looks great in that little pot & definitely seems to like what you're doing. I see some of the planters are re-purposed, did you drill holes yourself? Mike, loved your pics too =) I love to see plants in their natural habitat of other folk's homes. I find it challenging to find suitable display opportunities for them (with good light)as opposed to warehousing. I wish I had a room with windows like yours! We have unfortunately located windows =) I'm still trying to figure out how to work with them. Here's some random pics for ya =)

| Hookilau::::::Great photos. Love the skull- good for Halloween. I see you like the top dressing of aquarium fish tank pebbles. I use them often too. |
|
| Calif, I acutally kind of like the spindly look of the first one. What kind of succulent is it? Doesn't look like a jade... - Jw |
|
| Yes, I'm curious too...so is Entree the crayfish, who's naughty enough to be the sole inhabitant of a 55 gal tank with the exception of Buddha & a single clam. Darn invert. Antoinette |
|
| ::::: Jwdb and hookilau::::: First photo is Aeonium Spathulatum. It is described as a "woody shrub" Here is a photo from the Internet (Huntington ),,,,, |
|
| Not a true bonsai but I've been playing with this A. obesum seedling for a few years trying to make it look like a bonsai. Antoinette I love your little crayfish. My son just set up an African cichlid tank. Maybe they are aggressive enough to cohabitate with a crayfish? The fish in his other tanks would end up as crayfish snacks. |
|
| Karyn true bonsai or not, looks really great! Rina |
|
| Not to show off...but here's on I potted up today Euphorbia subpeltatophylla  |
|
| I don't know which I like more, your pots or your plants. Both are always strangely beautiful. |
|
| Caudex :::::NICE !!! That shallow bonsai pot and the rock makes for a great presentation,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Looks like a windswept tree,,,, IT IS OK TO SHOW OFF. Sure have enjoyed you past posts. THANKS. |
