Raselia (not sure with this name)

When i purchased a small plant from nursery stock,, nursery man was saying "RASELIA" (the name of this plant) , though i like the plant with almost triangular shape , four branches and good looking pink flowers.

After that i had put it in oval shape small mud pot , while that i was searching the details of this plant and the actual name of this plant , but i did not get it from any where and not even from the internet.

After two years again this is the time of repotting so, i have select a same shape but smaller in size ceramic pot and repot with rich soil and cowdung mixture, during that two years i had done heavy prunning to maintain the shape and to develop good remification in all four bunches. So, in this two years i have never seen those pink flowers again.

This plant is looking good with exposed roots and traingular branch arrangement. I assure you in coming two years i will make it perfect bonsai. We can say this is "exposed roots style bonsai", but mainly i do not follow any particular style of bonsai. I just follows five basic rules of bonsai....

1. Triangular branch arrangement

2.Good nebari

3.Artistic natural look of a bonsai tree

4.Good tapering of trunk

5.A beautiful Apex

Adenium

This gorgious looking ADENIUM (desert lily) is around 10 years old plant. Normaly in the BONSAI world, "Adenium" is not consider as bonsai plant, but our city "Ahmedabad" is next to desert so, this plant is surviving better than the other plants. In our city maximum tempreture goes up to 48degree in summers and rain during entire year is just 30 inches.

Where "Adenium" lives happily with lots of flowers every year. I am 99% sure that in Ahmedabad city every bonsai lover will have this plant , even most of the nursery men consider this plant as BONSAI PLANT. So, we are enjoying with this.

When i purchase this plant it was very slim and trim with age of around two years, i had just put this plant in a deep mud pot. After that we were enjoying it's beautiful flowers for 3 to 4 years. Than after i realized that it's codex becomes very big and i have to do something so, i transfer this plant in big cement pot (which is in the dark last picture) , till that i was not aware to see it's codex beauty in the cello ceramic pot. But our master had given me a hint to repot it in the oval shape ceramic pot with giving triangular shape.. so, i had done it. (see the second last picture).

After 1 month of repotting in ceramic pot i had chopped all the branches, and new suits came quickly after chopping within 20 days. I had put one more small adenium with this , to show big identity of that big adenium. Even this idea shows the concept of MOTHER AND BABY plant.

I am hoping to see it's flowers again in this pot. and at that time, i will click some other photes and will show you.
