2021 Dwarf Chrysanthemum Bonsai Thread

[Pitoon]

I thought it would be nice to see each others progress with the dwarf chrysanthemums. I just potted up and wired 'Crystal Falls' into a final sized pot. As soon as the side branches extend a bit more I'll start wiring those as well.

Feel free to post your progress pics

Home Depot is my favorite store to go to.

Home Depot is my favorite store to go to.

I think he hides in there. The workers always ask me 'Can I help you find something" and I always answer "My husband" and I get a blank stare.

Busy weekend. I didn't have a chance to do it yet.

I just pruned a little more on mine. Still deciding which branches to keep and their placement.

 

[Carol 83]

Sorry. Still mulling over pot options. I only have one good candidate.

 

[HorseloverFat]

I don’t own any..

But I AM obsessed with flower petals... like... embarrassingly... sooo I look forward to updates here!

 

[Carol 83]

I only have one good candidate.

Just did a quick inventory at lunch. Two @sorce pots will be utilized. The other two get lesser quality pots.

Here is a few of mine. Nothing fancy in pots, just what I had on hand. The will get moved as they get styled.

Nice! I like that idea with the upside down pot.

Nice! I like that idea with the upside down pot.

After struggling with the first one I thought there must be a better way. So simple an idea.... but I can be simple. Did this 2 minutes before I took the picture. It will be fun watching the leaves flip over. Now I want a device or a training pot that you can adjust the angles on. Maybe a hanging pot, possible sphere like.
That is the main reason I posted this. I wanted to show the upside down pot but decided it belonged on your post.

Everybody planted in oversized pots.

Nice! I'll post some updated pics of mine tomorrow.

I need to get some wire on the last one in the @sorce pot. Didn't have time when I potted it. We had to go to HD to get a shower curtain and I snuck a Calamondin orange in the backseat while he was roaming around.

@Carol 83 did the hubby get lost again?
