Well after the trauma of Rootie having grubs, I was a little worried that other bonsai might have the same issue. So when I noticed a little hole in Buddha’s soil, it was off to class!
But a clean bill of health was given to Buddha. Wiring came off (as it was just starting to cut in), a little bit of orange wire was added to a low-hanging branch and the OK was given to the salve that was applied in the initial re-pot (too much stretching created a little snap, but the branch is still alive and kicking!!
So all good with Buddha, just keep moist and out of the cold, harsh elements (cold snap currently hitting Sydney!)
