The journey of my Casurina Bonsai Plant

 By George 

This was the casurina I got
from Ravindran's farm in  Jan 2019

Did some pruning and wiring
to give it some kind of shape

The weather is nice I thought 
I should re pot my casurina 😊

Iam using a old used pot and have used
a net to cover the drainage holes

First layer broken bricks...
the advatage of broken bricks.. 
you use less soil...
broken bricks retains water...
third it gives free growth for your roots

Next layer sand mixed with small stones 
advatage is good drainage and
free air pockets for free growth of roots...

Removed the plant from the growth pot
ready to placed in the bonsai pot.

Use a axe saw to cut off excess
soil/ roots to fit into the bonsai pot

After trimming the excess roots
place the plant in the bonsai pot,
before that select the front side of the plant
before filling the pot with bonsai soil...
take your time and view the plantin different  views
and if you happy then go on to next stage

Last  I have applied some fungicide
on the cut  branches and than seald it with fevicol ..
this is to ensure that no decaying  takes place
while watering  the plant...

Now the plant  is kept under shade  for 7 to 10days..
when I see new branches and fresh needles appear...
then I will bring it into full sun..
