drdawg said:Melissa, have you ever grown any bonsai on large, heavy slab of Portuguese cork or ever heard of anyone doing so? There would be absolutely no soil of any kind involved, so I don't know whether this is possible or not. You know me, I like to experiment and challenge the notion that something is not possible. My Spanish moss flourishes and I was assured that it would be virtually impossible to grow it in Starkville, MS.

I will furnish the margaritas! Whistling


Ken, I have not. We grow ours in a made up mix of soil with diatomaceous earth, which is basically like a fancy kitty litter. I would imagine you can grow on cork, but you would need to be concerned with top heavy issues.
