Mallsai

Inexpensive bonsai trees often sold in chain stores and gift shops are derisively referred to as "mallsai" by experienced bonsai growers, and are usually weak or dead trees by the time they are sold. Often these bonsai are mass produced and are rooted in thick clay from a field in China. This clay is very detrimental to the bonsai, as it literally suffocates the roots and promotes root-rot. Very little if any shaping is done on mallsai, and often the foliage is crudely pruned with little finesse to resemble a tree. Due to the conditions under which they are transported and sold, they are often inadequately watered and are kept in poor soil, usually a clump of sphagnum moss or the aforementioned clay with a layer of gravel glued to the top, which leaves them susceptible to both drying and fungal infections. Some "mallsai" can be resuscitated with proper care and immediate repotting, although this is reportedly rare. This top layer of glued-on gravel should be immediately removed once the bonsai is purchased, and the plant should be repotted in a good bonsai soil such as akadama.sugi

Lækkerier.
Mit norske bonsai træ er norsk. Masseproduceret i dårligt kvalitet. Fantastisk. De er så godt som døde. Jeg troede sgu lige, at de lorte træer skulle følge mig i graven. Ja måske endda beplantes på mit gravsted, hvor de hånligt kan gro vildt, og skygge over min gravsten.

Men nej - det er mig der kommer til at grine i den sidste ende (pånær, at jeg har smidt 2x59 kr ud på råddent pind). Stik mod forventning, bliver jeg ældre end de Bonsai træer. Jeg bliver alligevel deres undergang.
