This was originally posted in the TESTING forum. That is ONLY for tests of loading photos, or videos or messages -- not for messanges and pictures for which a reply is hoped.

Since I didn't see this repeated in any other forum, I've moved it to a more appropriate location.

Looks like you are keeping it indoors and TOO wet.
It needs:
More light
a bigger pot
and better soil

Once you put a tree into a bonsai pot you will slow the growth right down, if you want to develop your trees further it would be best to grow them in a larger container until they have reached the desired height/thickness then put them in a bonsai pot to refine the branches. If you use a very free draining potting mix then you can feed the trees heavily which will really speed up the process.
Hope this helps

thanks jim for removing it. i did realize that last night when i post it. but i cannot change it since my internet connection doesnt allow me to do that.

also thanks, billy. yes, i think it need to be outdoor because it will grow more new shoots there. but the problem is i cannot put it outdoor because i live in a hostel. so i just put it at the window. all the shoots are directing towards one direction only. so i always need to rotate it position.

craig,
thanks for the advice. i also had consider that for a long time. especially for my 2nd tree. and now i think i will put it on the ground with its pot. premna root is very quick to grow. it will always penetrate through the pot holes whenever it have chance. i think that should help it grow faster.
or, is it not ok if i do that??

That would be fine but if you could take it out of the pot that would be better.
There are some very fine Malaysian bonsai artists, do you have a local club you could join ?

glad to hear that i can do that as i cant let it be in the ground because i always transport it.
yes, i'm going to join 2 clubs here. but still got no money yet to be their member.
but for now, i already making friend with the other club members so that i can learn from them.
here is my other problem. as a student, i'm always busy with my assignment and also cannot afford to always traveling to the members house.
that is why i'm posting here, so that i can get some direction in bonsai training.
we love bonsai. my in training bonsai Icon_biggrin my in training bonsai Icon_biggrin
