Wrightia Religiosa

Wrightia Religiosa

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.

Polyscias - Garden

This photo was taken on 3 August 2014.
It was planted 3 weeks ago (12 July 2014) during a cut-back session. 
3 stems (without root) were buried horizontally onto the soil.
I was surprised to note that there were moss grown naturally on the soil surface, just over 3 weeks!

Sporophytes were seen growing on the mosses beneath the trees.

Along the growth of this main Polyscias, some of the cut back were propagated.
And of course those left after today pruning were also propagate into many small plants.

Polyscias Bonsai


This is my very first Polyscias

Decided to buy this plant at IKEA today


Plant just reached home :D



Re-potted into a selected pot

Final view of the project


From this very first Polyscias, it was cut back after 1.5 years of growth. Those cut back stems were used to propagate to form several other new bonsai.
