On my previous post, I showed my other bonsai trees and one of it is the Kalamansi tree. Like my first bonsai, this Kalamansi tree also just grows in the pot wherein an ornamental plant is already planted. This tree was able to outlast the ornamental plant that was originally planted on that pot. Though it is not my first choice to train into bonsai tree, I noticed that it also have the potential of being a good bonsai tree, so I have decided to train it also as bonsai.
I followed the same procedure I used on my first bonsai; I cut the unwanted leaves and branches and tied wire on the remaining branches. The only difference is the tree cavity I put on the stem of this tree. I used a cutter to put a one inch hole on the stem of the tree to look like a cavity that can be seen in an old tree.
I also like the pot I used for this bonsai, my neighbor throw it away, but I noticed that it is still in good condition that is why I get it and planted an ornamental plant. The plate under it is the plate we are using to feed our cats, but since it has also wavy rim like the pot, I have decided to use it as base for that pot. I did not paint it anymore to preserve it old look.
Like my first bonsai, I did not spend single centavos on this one. I just make use of old materials and so far I am satisfied with the results.
