Re: Crape Myrtle Bonsai Beginner
It's a simple shrub to work with ------------- grow and clip.
However, to fatten the trunk, you will need to ground grow.
You can make a bonsai soil mix, place the plant on a tile [ for the radial root effect ] and put into a colander.
When it is well grown in the colander.
Place in the ground. You can mix about three feet in the ground as freely draining soil.
Allow to grow.
How tall a plant do you want ?
1 to 6 inches is the general guideline for trunk to height.
Until.

Yes thay can make excellent Bonsai, Fast growing and hold shape really well. Leaves reduce nicely.
beeter suited to larger sizes as the flowers are on the end of the new growth and if you want it toi flower, then you need to let thos shoots extend which will look untidy on a smaller tree.
Plant in the ground or larger pots as Khaimraj suggests to grow faster then style
