Season 6 Episode 21 - Bonsai Height Reduction, Plan Variation and Soil Mix Expectations

The impact of the trunk on a bonsai cannot be underestimated and there are things  we can do to make them appear more powerful or dynamic. In this podcast I'm talking about height reduction. There are two techniques I use and I discuss the factors you need to consider when using either of them. All of our bonsai have a plan and sometimes they do not develop as per the plan. So I've come up with a 'Plan Variation Agreement'. And if you're planning on changing your soil mix then you need to listen to this podcast. Bonsai is about so many different processes and the soil is just one piece of the puzzle.
