The propagation success I didn't expect with Pine Bonsai

I started with one Pine Bonsai and now have four, all from propagation. The process is straightforward once you understand styling with the front and viewing angle in mind from day one — something I picked up from trial and error rather than any guide.

I display them in a seasonal rotation on display when looking its best which shows off deeply personal relationship between artist and tree at its best. autumn colour on deciduous species before leaf fall is when they're most impressive. drying out and death from missing a day's watering in summer has been my main challenge across all of them, but it's manageable now that I know what to look for. A genuinely generous plant if you let it be.
