My new baby I created. Any comments greatly appreciated. Sorry about the focus on the phone camera. I used a seasol bottle for size comparison.
Cheers
Rae

My grey hair is my solar panel, as with the leaf on the bonsai is theirs.

Re: Buxus bonsai
Hi Rae,
Difficult to make out, but looks like the start of a nice tree. The last picture I assume is the back of the tree, but can at least see the structure. Would leave the tree to recover, if you re-potted, before doing anything further.
Once you see new growth would probably look to lower right branch (working from the back - last picture) and form a branch to the left as well from the branches near the current apex when they grow. The tree at present appears flat, and most the foliage seems to point towards the front. I am sure this will sort itself out, with a bit of wiring once branches start growing.
Good start...

Re: Buxus bonsai
Hold phone steady while taking photo. I can understand wanting to show off your creation but those photos are really just a waste of space. we can't appreciate what you have created at all from them.Any comments greatly appreciated
Also note that Rae likes blue pots.
