Growing Forward: Bonsai and Podcast Goals for 2025 - Bonsai Time Podcast Ep 40

In Vivo Bonsai Announcements/Upcoming Events in Columbus

• February 17, 2025 - Columbus Bonsai Society presents Bruce Brethnauer of the Central Ohio Cactus and Succulent Society to present on the botanical family known as Apocynaceae of which desert rose are a member. They have several unique adaptations and traits for bonsai as well as some unsung species that may be worth trying.
• March 29, 2025 - Intro to Indoor Bonsai Workshop at Dawes Arboretum hosted by yours truly. I will add a sign up link in the next link when it goes live!
• I recently posted many bonsai tools on my Etsy. See invivobonsai.Etsy.com for options or reach out for a local-pickup discount. I will continue to work on adding my bonsai wire, soil, and other accessories into the web store as I get prepared to ship larger items on request.

I. Episode Summary & Links

Kevin, Ryan, and Kelly sat down to look forward to another new year of doing bonsai and podcasting. We discussed potential new resolutions and directions for our bonsai lives and the podcast although not our plans all can be made public yet. Kevin also posited some potential trends from other forms of art that he hopes may one day be adopted in bonsai. Enjoy the episode and let us know, what is your bonsai resolution for the year?
