OK been a while since I last posted (I'm surprised michaelsan hasn't whined at me as I whined at him to blog with me on this project lol), so a quick update of where I've learned stuff. Don't let the soil dry out! OMG I was so busy concentrating on the issues higher in the tree I forgot the basics of everything that everything that goes up is supported at the bottom! I'd managed to let the soil dry out completely so having been paying attention to the leafs I noticed they were drying out which lead to a panic of thinking I'd killed it (again).
I regain some composure and decided to water the bonsai, I placed the tree in a bowl and filled the bowl with water until it was half way up the trees' pot and left it for what felt like a few hours (though in truth it was probably only one) until the top soil was damp to the touch, I then took the tree from the bowl and left it on a side to drain off the excess water before returning it to it's place of pride.
