AusBonsai

Hello ,this will be my first go at bonsai ,will be using a Leptospernum lemon scented tea tree ,bought from my local nursery ,I have given it a trim up and have bought some bonsai potting mix to go in . Does the pot look to big ,is it to big or not . Plenty more questions coming up Thanks John. Have tried putting foto up but it is saying file size to big ,don’t know how to correct it .

Welcome to the forum. Very new myself.

Welcome and it is interesting that you have gone with an Australian native for your first bonsai, so many congratulations for that decision.
I understand that there are some "instructions" in Wiki about re-sizing photos. I'm not the one to ask though.
I hope you enjoy the bonsai journey.

Hello John,

Welcome to AusBonsai

Regarding attaching photos to threads see below:

AusBonsai has a limit of 1MB per image, so we all must reduce our image's size before attaching to a thread.
A good all round file size for images is around 500KB.
A simple free app for resizing images is 'Image Resizer'. Once loaded onto your phone / computer it's as simple as right clicking on the image, select Image Resizer, then select a minimum size around 800px x 600px.
On a Windows PC, i generally use 'Paint', either will work okay.

Welcome, I'm new also but the guys are happy to share their knowledge so if you can't find the answers via a search; ask away

G'day John,

Welcome from another pretty new person. One way I have found to resize photos is to use the default photo viewer in windows 10, right click on the image after it's loaded then select resize. I usually choose the M -2mp option. Seems to work for me, as for any other advice on bonsai, at the point in my journey it would only be misleading

Finally got to downsize the foto of Leptospernum ,what are your thoughts on it .
