Variegated Serrisa Bonsai, How to Maintain!

Post by constablebonsi »

:gday: Guys,

Any clues on what to do to maintain a Variegated Serissa Bonsai?
I've been reading books and have had many different approaches on how to maintain them... :reading:

Would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks! :tu:

I don't trust Bonsai, they are a little shady.

Hi constable, I *had* one a while back, lesson I learned was not to trim back the roots too hard and or bareroot :crybye: Apart from that they shape fairly well clip n grow or with wire, though the branch structure grows fairly straight with longish internodes, so lots of foliage trimming. Good luck :tu: and don't be afraid to post a pic :fc:
Cheers, Ryan

Also, if left to its own devices the foliage will grow quite dense.
