Restyled this guy!

Photo 1: September 2022, bought a small ‘Lilliput’ P. Afra after work and did this BS to it.

Photo 2: got my act together and styled it a sort of broom style with terrible branch selection that isn’t really apparent when it’s got “foliage”. This photo was taken in November 2024 after flying it from Southern California to southern Florida in a small box.

Photos 3 & 4: the increase in humidity was a bit of a learning curve for me regarding how to care for this plant. On top of that, I’ve been busier than ever and the state of this plant got so bad, it was almost a reflection of my body’s aches and pains. Really struggled with where it should go stylistically and came to realize some big changes were in order, so I checked at the plant on and off for a few months and randomly decided today to see what happens if I just cut one branch off. One thing led to another and I now I have this funky bunjin style? Or is more windswept? Idk but I think it looks a lot better; kind of shocked at how something can look so different with just a few cuts but I think that’s why I love bonsai. I just hate the wiring part, I still suck at that.
