Bonsai is an art form that takes place over a long period of time. This workshop will deal with establishing a plant and plan for shaping them over a 4–6-month period. A second (optional) date for a check-in workshop will be planned for autumn. We will clip grown foliage and readjust wire at this time. You can also send update pictures or questions to instructor’s email [email protected] at any time.
The second part of our workshop offered is for anyone who has a bonsai they would like to bring in. A ficus, schefflera, or mystery plant you've been thinking could use some sprucing up. We will advise the best care and styling in a group setting so everyone can learn. This part of the event starts at 6:30 but all are welcome to sit in at 5:30pm.
This entry into our series is the Ficus Puteolaris, or Rock Fig. This species is native to North America, being found from California to Mexico. This is a very uncommon species of Fig to find in the greenhouse. With its caudex and heart shaped leaves it is a perfect candidate for a bonsai. It will look much more mature earlier on. This Ficus also does better in partial sun which makes it great as a houseplant. We're very excited to offer this rare variety and share it with you!
Included in the session is 1 6” bonsai pot of preferred style and color, 1 bonsai plant, wire materials, and bonsai soil.
