| Banyan Bonsai |
Gardening is a very relaxing and gratifying hobby.These coleus are a part of my house plant collections and they liven up interiors with their colours. They are very easy to maintain and equally easy to propagate.Leaves keep changing their shades depending on their exposure to sunlight.Too much exposure to sunlight makes them wilt.They love shade but can enjoy the sun for short periods too.I enjoy their lively splash in the corner of the room where they receive the morning sun.
The Banyan bonsai has been re-potted and is doing well with new leaves emerging.I cannot predict its age but the girth of the trunk tells me it is not too young.The girth is about 4.5 inches. In the hollow of the spreading roots lie some damp places.This style is called Exposed Roots-- Neagari.
I intend putting some stones and moss to decorate it.When the sparrows hop on its branches in the afternoon it is very satisfying.The afternoon sun makes its leaves glow.Hope the crown fills up more in the future and the hanging roots completes the picture of a true Banyan tree.
