"Tray Scenery". Popularly known from Japan as Bonsai.

Pén jǐng has replaced the old colloquial term of pén zāi which literally means "tray plant" from which the term Bonsai is borrowed from.

Pén jǐng is just alittle different from Bonsai in that Pén jǐng is more relaxed in letting the hobbyist be more creative with containers and shapes whereas Bonsai is more strict with muted pot colors and tree shapes.

I've been dabbling with Pén jǐng since I saw all my brother in law's plants he had in China. I've got a Jade plant I'm training and bought a Chinese Elm and a Fukien Tea tree that were already trained.

I then decided to retire my one MJ mother and figured I'd do something with her. So what say you?

I kinda dig bonsai on all plants.. I have a jade plant I have been working on for the last 2 years she is a big gal now and I just cut her down a bit last summer..
I dont have any really good bonsai containers which I think is about 50% of the work..

have love Japanese culture since I was a kid..

I got some wicked lsting going on right now but not really sure you'd consider it Bonsai-ing.

Your mother plant looks nice.:smile:

I wonder if its better to start this from a seedling or if a clone would do for it?! Lets see what google tells me.

Sorry I got busy last night.

So far this is what I'm working with, from left to right the Chinese Elm, Fukien Tea, MJ, and the 2 different style jades. It was hard to find a cool tray for the MJ so I got a diamond tipped drill bit and made my own. That there is a chic casserole dish. :bigjoint:

I bought the first 2 trained and I'm doing my own training on the last 3. I've had the first 2 and the leaning Jade on my windowsill all winter so they've shed some leaves. I've had the MJ and Y Jade under a CFL.

Hopefully I don't kill her. :eyesmoke:

Also lastly, Mods not sure if this is possible but I'd maybe like to keep this is as a grow journal and was wondering if it could be moved over to Grow Journals?? Thanks for tuning in and dropping out. :D
