I had wanted a juniper bonsai for so long, and was really excited when the plant nursery down the street from me got a large collection of them. I went and picked out a fairly young bonsai, but they had some that were older than 80 years and amazing looking (not to mention incredibly expensive).
Mine died, and I figured I had killed it, even after sticking to the directions at closely as possible. When I went back to ask them what I did wrong, turns out it wasnt my fault. ALL of the bonsais they had there had died just due to the climate.
Try putting some acrylic paint into the cavities and youâve got nice colored type. Use a rubber block to squeegee the face clean and let it dry. Just an idea taken from a friend whoâs an old school architectural modelmaker.
