Bansai growth question

[Chipie]

Umm... the GARF Bonsi that I had grew on my 1" by 1" dick in about a month.They really dont start to have good growth till they have a nice strong base!

:lmao::lol::lolspin::lol2:

HAHA

My GARF is actually not that slow of a grower. A few months ago i took a single polyp the broke off when i moved my frag and it is now incrusted over the entire plug and starting upward. I would say the main frag is also a medium grower

:lmao: my GARF has actually been a pretty fast grower as well (I run T5s). I started with a 1.5" frag and in a bit over a year it has grown into a nice tree that is over 5.5" tall and 6.5" wide at the top.

It seems to take a while getting established, then it starts to encrust more than grow upward. Then there's a LOT of beginnings of branches, then it seems like the next thing you know you have a good size colony.

Just give it time. If it browns on you at the beginning, that's normal too. It will color back up over time.

I agree with this, it is what my GARF Bonsai did.

I also vote for Thread of the Month...nominated for funniest thread.:spin1:

Hope that fixes it!

Best typo ever

 

[rbredding]

AWESOME TYPE-O....


we all make mistakes, the only reason we all find it so funny is because we've had similar type-o...

LOL don't be sorry about the typo, it made my day. And i'm sure it did the same for quite a few.

Too funny. My wife was wondering what I was reading that had me laughing so hard. It's only funny because it has happened to everyone.

 

[bugg_zy]

I know this thread made my day. And good luck with the growth! I want to get a garf myself someday so this is good info.

 

[Scott-CapeCoral]

Well it's been growing a little bit since I first stated. Encrusting like an encrusting monti.
Hope it turns upward soon.

Next question is, Does a real bansai have the longer lanky branches only? Or could it also look like a tricolor acro too?

 

[rigleautomotive]

why is it now every question has connotations,lol

 

[Scott-CapeCoral]

Why is it you don't capitalise the first word in your sentences?

Why is it you don't punctuate the ending of your sentence?

Carry on now.. bye bye.

 

[Scott-CapeCoral]

Here is the 3 inch I picked up at the Lfs. Not 100% sure if it's an actual bonsai, or tri-color?

 

[Scott-CapeCoral]

Here is the small frag on the actual bonsai. It turned a brownish maroon but as you all were saying it will color back up soon? The polyps are very bright green like the other, but retracted because I am picking it up in the picture. Does this guy look like a real bonsai?
