The Mini Bonsai Challenge: A Triumph in Tiny Trees

[@joegarland4885]

Interesting Ryan I will be absolutely gobsmacked if they survive mate, I will be happy to be proved wrong. Nicely done with the pots though they look ace mate.

Thanks Joe M8, you and me both fingers crossed they do buddy ;)

Excellent, Ryan!!! Thank you for accepting the challenge. The stands are a masterpiece in themselves.These will look great come spring. In the summer outside, I place the thimble in styrofoam to keep them from getting to hot. I keep them out of the noon day sun, just morning sun. They do dry out fast in the summer time. Up to 3 or 4 times a day to water them.

Thanks for the idea! i will have to get the wife to watch these while i am at work in the summer, they dry out quick ;)

[@peterwhitehead34]
