BONSAI Club/Advice Info Needed
l...@indetech.com
Bonsai organizations that may exist (for instance, a world-wide society of
enthusiasts, or just a local club in the San Jose, CA area?)
Also, I have a specific question for anyone, anywhere who knows about Bonsai:
I will be taking a 3-week vacation at the end of this year. What should I do
to care for my bonsai plant during this time? It's a small-to-medium sized
juniper. I also have another one (forgot the name) that flowers.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!
-Lynn

Just make sure that they get enough water, not too much and not too little, just
like you always do. This of course means that you will have to find somebody
you trust to come and water them.
good luck -- john van de wouw

There's an e-mail group interested in bonsai. Here's where to write
for more info:
BONS...@FOGHORN.PASS.WAYNE.EDU BONSAI DISCUSSION LIST
This list has been setup to facilitate discussion of the art and
craft of Bonsai and related art forms. Bonsai is the Oriental Art
(Craft?) of minituarizing trees and plants into forms that mimic
nature. Everyone interested, whether novice or professional, is
invited to send a note to:
BONSAI-L...@FOGHORN.PASS.WAYNE.EDU
This list will be maintained manually for the moment. I hope to
setup a LISTSERV for it later in the future should demand require it.
In your subscription note feel free to include information regarding
your interest in the hobby, and any other information you think would
be of interest.
