HOW do you avoid TWO challenges faced by most Bonsai Beginners/Hobbyists? Today, Jelle and I discuss my BIGGEST problem with creating a Juniper Bonsai. This links to a UNIVERSAL problem that can arise when developing ANY of your Bonsai…especially as a beginner. As usual, a few laughs, as we discuss and demonstrate how to overcome these with ease
