May we wish you and yours a very Happy
New Year!
We here
at Dallas Bonsai Garden hope that you enjoy health,
happiness and success in this coming year.. And
of course - some great times in this wonderful
world of Bonsai.
We hope
that we can assist you in jump starting your
hobby and increase your delight in all things
pertaining to Bonsai.
What's
going on here at Dallas Bonsai Garden...
During
the last week of each year and the first week
of the new year we reflect on the previous and
peer into the future of just what you want and
what you can expect from us in 2004.
From
Japan..We are constantly striving to find new
products or products that we may have overlooked.
They turn up in the strangest places. We have
an insatiable appetite for all of the great Bonsai
supplies that we find there. We keep trying to
find new picture books that will help you to
decipher the techniques of the master Bonsai
artists.
From
China. We keep digging for new and interesting
Chinese Figures. Our plastic pots - most of which
come from China have been in great demand this
last year. And NOW! We have found some larger
rectangular plastic pots with trays at reasonable
prices. We will announce this to the world in
February or March.
We will
be starting a different arrangement this month
with a monthly sale page MONTHLY
SUPER SALE . that is on just for that month
and a more static page for surplus items or items
that you may want to buy in quantity BARGAIN
CORNER ..a bargain basement type of corner
of our website. This is all first class merchandise - not
a scratch and ding department. We do hope
this helps persons that have just bought from
us and want to know just what we have as specials
for that specific month versus items that may
be on sale for a longer period of time. You
keep telling us what you want and we keep listening. We
hope your contacts with us are helpful and assist
you in your pleasure of the Bonsai Hobby.
Specials 180,
181, 182, 183, 184 and 185 are new for
this month and will be up only for the month.
Special 182 is
something you need to think about. It's Rainbow
solution. This is extremely important to use
this time of the year.
What
to do this month? This month and February
are hang on months. Try to keep your Bonsai
hanging on until spring arrives. We hear more
sad stories of demise during this time than
at any other time of the year. Why now?
It's
the same thing I preach about all the time. Light
and Water. Our shortest day of the year is December
21 and we ever so slowly add a minute or two
each day to our daylight time. All evergreen
Bonsai need light and they suffer during this
period.
Water.
Our homes during this period are heated and this
drops our humidity to desert levels. Kinda great
for humans versus high humidity days, but it
causes the Bonsai soil and thus the plant to
dry out. Watch your Bonsai and water. Remember,
with good draining soil you can water daily.
But don't let the Bonsai sit in water in a drip
tray.
Again....Happy
New Year! Now that we are back into the normal
chaos of daily living be kind to your Bonsai
and treat it with loving care. It will reward
you for it in many ways..
