About this Event

Learn basic bonsai techniques to start transforming plants into bonsai. Learn why it is important to have a good soil mix, root-prune, repot, and choose the right angles when repotting. Take this knowledge home and apply it to other plants as well.

In this class we will work on the Dwarf Natal Plum also known as 'Numnum' (here at the bonsai shop).

'Numnum' the Dwarf Natal Plum

I’m Numnum the Natal Plum, a semi-tropical evergreen native to South Africa. I have glossy oval leaves and my trunk and branches look very mature. I do well with salty winds, as I am a coastal dweller. My white flowers are scented and I produce a small edible fruit that turns red in autumn. Keep me in a location that has full sun or bright indirect light a few hours a day.

This class is for beginners to intermediate.

Classes limited to 5 students for one-on-one instruction.

Materials Provided: handmade small bonsai planter in white, one bonsai tree, soil, decorative rocks, necessary tools for repotting. Other materials on site available for purchase.

About the instructors:

Matthew Puntigam lived and worked in Tokyo for 7 years learning bonsai techniques and garden skills while apprenticing at Kaneyama Landscape Design and Sinajina Bonsai Shop. He opened Dandy Farmer in 2016 to bring the art of bonsai to the NYC community.
