One of my greatest fears is that when I’m no longer part of this world my wife will sell my bonsai tree collection for what I told her I paid. 😜😂🪴🌳💚

I started a “swear jar” for when I tell people about my bonsai trees without being asked. 😜😂🪴🌳💚

I let this Portulacara bonsai forest get very leggy all winter and spring to thicken and strengthen the trunks. It became so dense that I could barely see the trunks at all.
The bountiful pile of cuttings is the result of today’s styling session, and I am VERY pleased with the result.
The shape, density, and RoR (roots over rock) are turning out better than I’d hoped when I started this project several years ago.

(For scale, the custom Samarkand bonsai pot is 12” across the long part of the oval.)
