Moss Cake!!

Still trying to determine the name of these moss! 

But, whatever it may be named, it is still a nice puffy moss that visually soothing to our eyes... if not most at least for me :P 

The plastic container was used for Japanese snack banana cake, were recycled to plant this moss, and hence I named this Moss Cake!

Polyscias - Garden

Development of this Polysicas - Garden, photo taken on 1 September 2014.

Growth of this plant was great! Overall, it look like a garden with grass and trees/shrubs. 
This shall be its front view for now.

Natural green mosses spurs out on its soil surface making it look great!
But not sure what is the species/name of this Bryophyte.

Polyscias - Gokan Bonsai Style

My very first tried for a Gokan Style Bonsai with Polyscias 

(using those propagated from the main plant that I've bought from IKEA)
Note those wires are just to support the trunks in place and not really wiring/shape the branches.

Comparing its mini multi-petal flower (~5mm) to a large multi-petal flower (~20mm)

Decided to air-layer this mini multi-petal flower breed; after my bold decision, plan, cut the barks, applied root hormone powder and position the transparent containers.
Hope to have 5 of them in few weeks time.

Filled containers with mixed garden soil

Watered them and shall update their 

development soon.. so....stay tune..

Polyscias - Propagation from cut-backs

This is about 3 months of growth from cutting.

The plastic pot was reused (originally from its parent Polysicas).

These are the baby Polyscias from the main plant. 

They were propagated from all the past cut-back of the main plant (between 2-4 months ago).
Now they have new roots on them.

The latest addition (cutted/planted today) is the one on the top-right pot. 

Few of it were put together to form a Polyscias Bonsai.
