Anyone grow bonsai trees?

[Juniper]

the whole plant collection

i wanna see how many plants make $5,000 - $10,000, like you said... and I also have some plants, so I could use some ideas

 

[Shockwave]

Ok We dont have much in the way of ideas as of yet. Currently living in an apartment, we get the house in May. Perhaps around July I can post some pics of what we've done though. Hafta see how it goes though.

Oh, not all of her plants are currently in the apartment. Some are out for temp use. She lent her orchids out to one lady who was having a party, some weird big bushy tree thing is in a friends place for a while, some are in her office.

To be honest, we have WAY to many of the damned things.

lol... that sounds great. I wish I had the space myself. I have only a tiny window sill loaded with cactus and some flower plants. But I'm gonna move out soon, so I'll be sure to think about a space for my plants when I look for a place

We got really lucky. Our apartment now has a sunroom. The last tenent took the deck, covered it and then glassed off the outside wall. So, its a big sunroom. ASnd ou house we're getting the wife specifically asked the builders to make the basement a sunroom. So, that'll be nice. For her. I get tired of being attacked by plants that are by every damned chair I sit by.

Haha... good for you. My friend's mom is in the plant business herself, and she's hugely successful, she has 3 shops downtown and she even caters to those parties. So I guess your wife must be successful with her plants as well. Its nice to see people being so successful doing stuff they like.

 

[Shockwave]

Yeah, if only I was happy doing what I'm doing. Got the successful part down, just not the happiness. Ah well....Pays the bills anyways.

 

[Juniper]

At least you got one out of two.

Ok, heres some pics of her plants. Alot of these are swap outs so dont look too good right now. Also, this isnt all of them. I didnt bother with ones in the kitchen, bedroom or bathroom. And some of her other ones are being used for temp plants right now.
Also, my deck is a mess. please dont mind it. Its one reason we're getting a house, we're just simply out of room in this apartment.
Anyways, onwards!

hey these are cool! your wife is very patient.

you should see my friend's house, there are tons of cacti everywhere, I think you'd be complaining more.

Glad you liked them! I also forgot the ones by the fireplace :s
Ah well, theres so many its hard for me to keep track of them all. Alot are doing so-so right now. We're also gettin two big azz palm trees later this week. Guess who gets to move those in :s
Ah well, at least it keeps the house purdy

 

[Juniper]

I love Bonsai. I used to have two of them, but I left one out in the sun to long, and it damn near died instantly, frickin AZ heat.

It's been a long time since I had one... I think it's time for another one!

What's a good indoor bonsai? Id really like something leafy, but they generally are outdoor plants.
