How does your garden grow?

Let’s talk plants. Whether you grow a lawn, flowers, vegetables or potted houseplants, let’s hear about them.

I grow Bonsai trees. A bit about them, for those that aren’t familiar with them;
1) It’s pronounced “bone-sigh” not “banzai” (which is a Japanese battle cry.)
2) Bonsai roughly translates to “tree in a pot”

I grow both indoor and outdoor plants. My tropicals live inside until mid-spring. Then I put them outside for the warmer seasons. The outdoor plants are native to temperate climates & stay outside all year. Here are some of my indoor plants;



Top row, left to right- Weeping ficus, variegated ficus, Umbrella tree.
Middle row- 2 aloe plants & a little cactus
Bottom- far right- Baby Jade tree,

My son tries very hard to grow (keep alive) Bonsai trees. He’s getting better at doing it, he is even able to prune and shape them now. A lovely hobbie if you can do it.

@CBLindsay It takes time to learn and inevitably, a bonsai grower will lose a tree or two along the way. My advice is to just get another tree & try again, when it happens.

I can grow most anything.....except bonsai. They just don't like me. And I want so badly to have one.
