Again I lied Steven asked if I could show some of my miniatures with a size comparison. Those of you that have seen them elsewhere don't look.

AWESOME PUP!!! They are inspirational!!!

What is the secret... How do you keep them alive?
Do you carry them with you everywhere you go so you can give them a drink every 5 minutes?

Regards,
Steven

Top post Pup, Anyone who thinks that this form of Bonsai is easier has not attempted it. You have some excellent trees here.

Thank you so much for shareing and giving us inspiration. Please do show us a picture of how you maintain on a daily basis when not showing.

Here is the set up I use. As you are already aware where I live does cause something of a problem in summer.
I have overcome this in this way. Contrary to what is said most days in summer I get away with 2 watering's.
Some times when it gets to 46 in the water bag is different up to 4 times.
