Any reason you repotted the procumbens? It does not seem like the best time of year. However I will say it is healthier than most home depot mallsai I have seen. Hopefully it makes it.
You know, I probably could have /should have waited. This one actually did not have the glued rocks on top. More gravel like top dressing. So that was good.
However, I guess my experience with this type of novelty bonsai is that the soils used are not great. Sometimes Gawd awful. This soil actually seemed ok. Very loamy and lots of bark used. Still thought it was Retaining water longer than I like.
So I did replace the soil and comb out roots.
Always trying to see what I can get away with.
I received one much like this last year as a mail order Christmas gift. I believe my Mom got it on Amazon from 9-greenBox (wince!).
Anyways it came completely dumped out in the box. Completely ignorant to bonsai, I just Arranged the pieces back in the pot and pushed the soil back in, and the pebbles on top. The soil looked like potting mix, and the plant like cuttings shoved in a plastic bonsai pot.
furthermore, I re-potted it again that winter (into a pot I liked better).
To make thing worse, it stayed inside all winter.
This plant is still alive and healthy-as far as I know. Maybe it will kick off this spring-but I don’t think so. I’ll try to find a current pic.
In other words, Just an over eager newb with a insatiable appetite for destruction.
