Hi everyone. This is my first post on this forum. I just wanted to share a couple of photos of an Adenium arabicum that I am training as a broom style bonsai.

You must have fun with the bonsai-ing. I love your style. I hope to learn to do the same or similar, What wire do you use?

Thank you crystalview,
I do enjoy working with my plants.
I use aluminum bonsai wire . And I put it on Adeniums very loosely, so I don't cause any scars on the branches.
I'm sure you'll be able to do some great bonsai once you get started.

crystalview, I live in zone 7B. I keep the Adeniums under lights in winter. Even if they go dormant, they get some light. In spring I put them out in my yard.
