lol I see where you guys are coming from, but Cadillactaste, you took it alittle too far! and JEEZ so what that I put where I work on my profile, I didn't expect anyone to see it, and I have never named my shop once on here in a thread, never my intention. I think I was more trying to reassure you guys that I have the knowledge (as far as growing...NOT bonsai trees)and the tools to do a great job. I WISH we could sell tents to bonsai enthusiast, but those are few and VERY far between, probably once every 5-10 years. I have been working at hydro shops for yeears...this is the first one I manage and opened. Unfortunately in all my years working at the grow shop, I have never had ONE bonsai enthusiast...atleast not that I know of! We don't even have a real website yet, let alone trying to sell ANYONE ANYTHING over the internet lol, only 4 months old! So, Im sorry guys, but I just got pretty offended because what everyone was snowballing with was so far from true, Im not even that type of person. but in hindsight I see why Caddy may have thought that, and put connections together that really weren't there.
Timetravel 0 nailed it. I thought I had some bases covered. the light can switch intensity and spectrums also, and I can control temp and humidity.
But seriously, I know where you all are coming from and I apologize. No hard feelings on my end at all! and YES, that was stupid to assume/not even think that you would be able to see what species the trees were from the pics provided. Idk what I was thinkin! my first bonsai which kicked it all off is a Juni that I have outdoors on my back deck at home. and I started my first thread about that one. But I bought that and put it outside riiight before it got too cold, I can't really keep any of these trees outside at this point because it would be such a drastic environment change, even with acclimating, I can see the trees getting F'd up. and the only reason I didn't comment on the elms being outside is that these 2 Chinese elms we have are actually growing the fastest, and the most lush out of any of the trees. So, from my end Im kinda thinking, boy this tree is HAAAPPPPY...why would I change that? but then the other half of me knows that these trees are not all tropicals and are going to require different thing at different times of the year. But really, these Elms are doing FANTASTIC. I can post some before and after shots if anyone wants. Every day I pick off maybe 3-5 leaves dropping off the bigger elm, but for every one leaf that goes, there 6 new ones coming!
Plus, we are kind of in a shopping plaza here, and I would be afraid of someone stealing our trees, or something out of my control happening. I do understand that that isn't always a bad thing, and that these trees are TREES and not other crops like timetravel mentioned. Im so used to indoor plants being indoors, and outdoor plants being outdoors. Otherwise you can bring in uninvited pests, mildew, all the classics. so thats just embedded in me after so many years and growing so many different types of crops indoors. I gotta keep reminding myself that these are TREES. Even the guy at the bonsai center where I have been shopping gave me some shit about growing the elms indoors...told me no matter what we do, all the leaves will drop...Its not that I don't believe him, its just that at this rate, these 2 elms are REALLY taking off under these conditions, I read a quick change in environment can make the trees unhappy.
Over the summers we should be able to plant some of these directly in the ground, or in raised beds, we just actually dumped a load of compost and made a new garden bed out front thats empty and waiting for spring. I think if they are part of the property, everyone would have enough respect to leave it alone. not a real heavy foot traffic area.
Will the evergreen varieties be okay grown indoors over the winter if we take them out of the tent and let them experience a colder temp and lower light? someone mentioned there are people who grow Junis indoors with success? anyone have a good link on this?
And despite all I have said in defense of the Elms lol...what do you guys honestly think? Try to get them to a different environment slowly, or leave them for now because they are growing like crazy? does defoliating ever help a plants dormancy? or is that just used for a better look at the structure and branch ramification and easier wiring?
really appreciate your advise guys, thank you. Sorry these have been so long, I'll try and keep em shorter for everyones sake!
the ignore option going to be putting it to good use!
