I've talked about mother bonasai in the past, and now I present her to the readers of 420Times.com.
I started her about 2 months ago as a clone off a plant that later turned out to be female. So, as a clone, I let MB grow 3 nodes, and topped the fourth.
I then coaxed and trained the 6 laterals to ray out fairly evenly from the center, and then cut their terminal node when they reached about 6 inches.
Meanwhile, I used iodized copper bonsai training wire to coax her into a weeping willow shape. Now, I have about a 6" mother that will produce up to 6 clones per lateral if necessary, AND, she can be easily kept in 1.5' of vertical space in my bonsai/cloning chamber.
I can't use the image button in the post editor to get them in here and using tags doesn't seem to work (or I'm doing it wrong)
So they are in the gallery under plants with the keywords mother and bonsai if you want to searc them. Sorry!
