What’s your latest Bonsai related purchase?

Saw these soil sieves on Amazon.
Like the fact these actually fit in the top of a bucket without falling off or into the bucket.
I've always disliked the typical bonsai ones with the replaceable screens since they don't fit in the bucket as well and the screens fit kinda wonky.

those are perfect. i was just thinking of getting some 5 gal buckets with lids
 
Technically for bonsai...as since relocating my trident clump. It has to much background static. So I ordered a three piece rusty screen to go behind it. Lake living so cattails and a heron. I'll set it up to the left of the rock...but it will be behind the trident. Screenshot_20250713_165223_Samsung Notes.jpgScreenshot_20250713_185231_Studio.jpg
 
A Holly with fabulous "globe-ish" leaf-clusters, where the mature leaves curl downwards (cannot remember the name just now) It may not make a great bonsai, but I couldn't leave it at the garden centre all on its own. :)

It wasn't root-bound when I checked the nursery pot, so I combed them out and dropped it into a shallower pot. It's "in hospital" for a few days before I put it in full sun. Will be fascinated to see what the branching is like when I find my gloves....

Got this little Barbados Cherry from an Ebay seller. Never had one. Know a few who grow them in this climate. The grower is in Florida and it is potted in a mix of sandy loam and perlite. It may need to be watered a bit differently than all my other trees. Needs some trimming.

A couple bus tubs as they are well recommended on this forum...
I missed the recommendations but, coincidentally I had purchased a bunch of them several years back thinking they might be useful in my new hobby. I even purchased some lids and bought some drainage tubs where the bottoms are pre-drilled with a bunch of holes and they are made to nest inside the deeper tubs.

I absolutely love bussing tubs and also highly recommend them. They’re not only useful for things like soil mixing, repotting, fertilizing, medicinal soaks, rehydrating, and doing “The Bonsai Shuffle”, but they are fairly indestructible.

While not technically MY purchase (it’s from a gift subscription), my newest ‘bonsai thing’ will have to serve as my purchase picture tax:IMG_1815.jpeg

I signed up for that as well.
