Wrightia religosa Super Shohin: Chalenger of all age.

This Wrightia tree only 04cm high (1.57 inches), 12 years trained. Japanese hand-made pot, very small bronze statue.

thats great, love it.

Outstanding! What´s the best way to keep mames or these type of small shohins alive???

You can water several times per day if they need it. That tends to be impractical for folks who have jobs, etc. Several small pots such as this can be placed inside a tray which is filled with Turface or similar product. Partly bury the small pots in the Turface and keep the Turface moist. This will prevent the small pots from drying out so quickly. Small roots will grow from the bottom of the pots and these can be periodically trimmed.

Awesome, thanks! I´ll try it out. My previous mame attempts weren´t successful.

Vietnam is a country with tropical climate. Sunny, so to mame tree may be enough water, I have to dip into the water tray. fertilization 1month/time. As you can see in the picture below is how I take care of little trees:

Your trees are looking really good, Vinh. Every one of those is delightful.

Thanks Fiona, because I really like the creation of each tree is one of my different designs. That makes many styles of the trees.
