Ahh, awesome then. So both bougs are back on. One doing better than the other but I have an idea to deal with it. I know which is which now, the rough start one is doing the best so far. I'll update them soon.

That looks really cool. I like the bark on that. I didn't really realize what ivy can look like. Now I have to go looking for pictures...

The foliage is a dream after owning a Virginia Creeper as well. Walter Pall has a lovely specimen and shared photos at the end of my post. Take a look for more stunning specimen. https://www.bonsainut.com/threads/a...parthenocissus-tricuspidata-experience.27870/That looks really cool. I like the bark on that.

Just finished reading the post. I like it
I like the Boston ivy that you have created in such a short time. It's very different but still looks amazing

Well, possibly not a traditional term for bonsai. But a tasty morsel to look upon in my opinion. Like looking at a plate with steak...a tree can spark similar admiration of where it is...and where it will go. You just don't actually eat it.

I partially defoliated and wired one of my Bougies today, real happy with how that went. No broken branches or even a crack. Hopefully it will set in before the next round of updates.

So I just put the one from the update thread that had die back up top into an actual pot. I managed to raise it a bit in the process, still not overly sure where I'm heading with this one but I think I will defoliate it and get a better look. Also added a little zeolite to the soil mix simply because I have some.
Not much to look at for the moment really. Blooms aside it's still ugmo.
The other one I will hold off repotting for as long as I can to give time for a branch to set which is guy wired. Plus I'll watch and see how this one takes it first.

I had the same problem with mine and I was always questioning myself... But it died on me and now I'm free of worries.
However, I'm thinking that it gave up the ghost because it knew I didn't like it and this makes me feel a little sad.
The bottom portion of the trunk was worst than yours... it was like a woman's silhouette

Before the die back from winter I had a clear direction with it with some reasonable branch structure in place already, now that is gone so it is a blank canvas, I got an idea but I guess we will see, the other boug is on track though, I know where I'm going with that at least.
