Hi there, meet Leona, my dwarf umbrella bonsai! Does anyo...

#DwarfUmbrellaTree
1ft to light, direct
4โ€ pot with drainage
Last watered 3 days ago
I just planted 5 of them.
Yep I have bonsai and I have full size dwarf umbrella trees. I love them! โค๏ธ

I have at least a dozen. They love being pruned so I always have props going!
@SuperbRaspfern I havenโ€™t propagated them before, Iโ€™ll have to look into that!
@SensibleFrogbit Absolutely! They are not the fastest to grow roots, sometimes it can take 2-3 months to actually push out some roots but they root well once they take off.

I do recommend always using water prop method. I have been unsuccessful in soil they always rot, I think because they take so long root ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. Next time I prop them, I'll do sphagnum in a closed box and see if that helps the push roots out faster. But they are fun to prop you won't regret it because they are really neat trees. โค๏ธ
@SuperbRaspfern Thank you!
Marv is my favorite:))
