How to make bonsai with Shaving Brush Tree

Creating a bonsai from a Shaving Brush Tree Pseudobombax ellipticum is a fun and rewarding project. This unusual plant, with its fat trunk and wild, pom-pom-like flowers, makes one of the most eye-catching bonsai you can grow. It's not your typical bonsai tree - it's a conversation piece that looks like something from a fantasy world! With a little patience, it becomes a living sculpture that blooms with flair.

Start with young plant with a fat trunk (caudex) and interesting shape.
Use shallow pot with fast-draining cactus mix.
Prune branches to create structure and shape.
Trim roots gently when repotting every 2-3 years.
Water well during growing season, keep almost dry in winter.
Give full sun to keep compact and encourage blooms.
Fertilize lightly: with slow release plant food in spring-summer or year around with liquid fertilizer like Sunshine Boosters.
Be patient - bonsai is a slow grower but worth it for the amazing flowers.
