Comments (2)Wiring it won't help it grow any better, more light will, and you could rig a fluorescent fixture 6" above it (them) to run 14 hours a day, using 35-40w Full spectrum bulbs, from Oct. thru March. That will straighten them up alright, but to me half the fun of bonsai is seeing the different, interesting routes the trees take on their own, and not wanting them to all look like soldiers. However, in your case, that one does want more light, but because it's genetically maybe geared to being a bit taller than the others, but needs maybe a bit more light, you're seeing a more exaggerated lean on it compared to the others (or maybe they'll do the same thing in time if not given more light)....See Moremy sage sprout has wilted
Comments (1)I am sure it is too late to help your particular problem, but for the future, I will comment. When you transplant seedlings the plant will often need to be tented to be able to maintain close to 100% humidity to prevent wilting for a week or two. It is best to also keep them out of direct sun for a few days. This of course will vary depending on the species. Al...See MoreTri Colored Jade Question
Comments (13)My variegated jades get these marks too. They live in the g/h and get watered with rain water, very occasionally with tap water as I get a lot of the natural type! I draw the shade cloths on extra sunny days to keep the temps down. Can't say that the climate is overly humid here as we don't often get the high temps, occasionally there are 'muggy' days as they're referred to over here where the atmosphere is laden with excess humidity, but nothing's lasts more than the odd day.

Comments (0)Hi guys, I'm a newcomer to this drought-friendly cutie - Haworthia Cymbiformis var. Obtusa (hopefully that's the proper identification for this little girl). I decided to grow her simply because I can’t stand for those chubby leaves and what she is called in Vietnamese – “sen ngọc” (the lotus of emerald or jade lotus, probably due to the translucent greenish shade of the foliage and the leaf texture). As I’ve done some researches on this species, I’ve learnt that she is classified as “winter growers,” which is quite errrr when growing her in such a tropical area as Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam (this is where I live). Although this cultivar is fond of partial shade to total shade, she was displayed in direct sunlight at the flower shop, which makes me really confused as she is looking fine (here is a photo of her roots). Furthermore, the soil in which she sits is quite compact since it is comprised of potting soil (I guess) and rice husk. But that did not stop me from repotting. Here is my mixing components (would the mix be porous enough for her to thrive and be happy?) 1 part of perlite/pumice (really I have no experience on telling their difference) 1 part of the soil I’ve mentioned above 1 part of akadama (as I see many apply this to their succulent mix) I also let her nestle on the east-facing window sill (here is the place), which is led by morning sun for an hour and a half approximately. A different angle I still wonder whether she can receive sufficient sunlight in such a condition. I’m also concerned about whether I should have her sunbathed once every 2-3 days, with direct morning sun. Additionally, I always turn the air-conditioner on to 24°C at night. I plan to water her once every a fortnight, but I don’t know how much water she needs as some websites suggest that it is enough when water is seen running out of the drainage hole of the pot while others say it should weigh about one third of the total weight of the pot and the plant. Please give me some suggestions, advices, and comments as I really want her to be with me, happy and healthy. Thank you in advance!!! P/s: Here is what the florist whom I bought her suggests me taking care of her: “Sunbathe the plant in morning sun (from 6am to 8am) for 2 hours everyday and water her twice a week.”...See MoreUser
