| 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 2006.
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.
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.
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...
