Hi All,

Nice and interesting forum you guys have. I hope I posted this in the right section..
I Have been growing some "bonchi's" myself. A bonchi is actually created from a Chilli Plant.

I have grown these plants in 2009 and turned them into Bonchi's last November. Off course I have used some artificial lights like CFL's to grow them indoors. The nice thing is that bear fruit like they normal do only on a tiny plant. They still have a lot of cutting and growing to do, but I think they will look great in a few months.

Tips are always appreciated..

C.lanceolatum (Wild Chilli Plant)


C.rhomboideum December 2009 (Wild Chilli Plant)


To get an idea (The same plants as above) C.rhomboideum July 2009


These pics where taken November 21 2010

Hi,

nice one, Lee.

I especially like the nebari in the first pic.
Now, it's quite difficult to give good tips on a mere
photograph, but here's some ideas that spring to
mind right now:

1. Looking at those nebari, I think that the nicest front
might show itself by turning the tree about 20-30°
anti-clockwise.

2. As there is still some extra trunk selection possible
(and even recommendable), I'd possibly lose the frontal
eye-poking trunk (or at least I'd shorten it considerably);
after turning that trunks' placement might look better as
it is right now, but I doubt it.

3. Furthermore (if it were mine), I'd also try to break the
allignment of at least the three trunks on the right,
maybe by bringing up a bit the middle one with wiring
or "sticking" techniques.

4. Right now, I'd start cutting back to one/two leaves
in order to promote further backbudding and ramification,
so in time You could lower the overall trunks' heights even
more.

Just a few ideas,

Hi Lee, i like both your trees, very nice efforts. If they were mine i would try and get the second one to grow root over rock as it looks like there is room to get a stone inbetween the roots. cheers phil G.
