Talking serissa snow rose owner!

Hello ladies and gentleman,

This is the 2nd Bonsai that I have owned and I love it. I look forward to contributing the knowledge that I have gained and would appreciate any feedback on shaping, growing, fertilizing, and repotting this Bonsai.

there is a couple of guys on you tube who really seem like they know what there talking about, just type in "bonsai" and alot will come up. One guy shows you how to start a bonsai from a nursery juniper, I tried it and it turned out great the juniper was $28. Good luck

Default Pruning

Hey Dre, I have attached two pics to show you what stage the tree is in currently. Would you recommend cutting the ends of the branches down to encourage more growth. I'm still somewhat of a beginner and I'm not sure how to prune this tree back when most of the branches have zero growth on them.

Thanks for your previous recommendation!

it looks kind of sick. have you ever tryed watering with some super thrive solution. if you havent do so you can usually find it at osh or any nusery its not a fertilizer its vitamins and hormones. once it look like its sprouting back let its grow this might be a solution if the foliage volume looks to much for the trunk then trim back and watch it grow.
