Lantana are beautiful and can make very interesting bonsai. Yours are off to a great start. Next time I’m down in Florida I’ll hunt down a couple. They’re very common down there. Thanks, keep growing
Very cool, brother! Lookin forward to seeing where you take these. I’m always lookin to see what I could do with “annuals” if I overwinter them. I’ll keep lantana on my list for next spring
Try a stake fork for barbecuing. That works great for loosening up the soil also. Cheap to. Well, I don't know now. Maybe a garage sale you can find one.
They say eating garlic will help. Working outside, no cologne or aftershave lotion. Attracts mosquitoes. For the ladie, no perfume. I wear a long sleeve shirt, blue jeans and a hat, no matter how hot it is when working in the evening when the little mosquitoes are out.
Not a fan of wiring the tree into the pot also. I use rocks till it settles in. If top heavy, I prune more off of the top. Nice repotting of the two. They will turn into some nice specimens.
Great to try something new. Nice looking and it has a trunk and a half on it. This will make a great bonsai for you.
Thanks Tom

Thanks Matt. See if you can find one with a well established trunk. I think you’ll have good luck in Florida.
Very nice! Not something that would have occurred to me 😊
It’s a cool plant. I’ll have to feel my way during branch development.

The older wood gets very stiff and gnarly. And the flowers. Oh lord. Thanks as always Billy.
Great video Steve good luck with a mate👍👍👍

It does work well. That’s certain

Keeps the vampires away too!

One of the Lantana I used stones, the other I wired in. I really don’t love doing that.
A profound question if I may - is there anyone who likes mosquitoes? 😊
No one I know. I swear by Thermacell (if you are going to be in one spot for a while. It doesn’t move with you).
