Hi Dirk

Fantastic plants. Some a bit bizarre for my taste, but fantastic cultivation skills. The whole treatment looks very "Bonsai-like". Are they using completely mineral soil and applying regular fertilizer as some bonsai growers do, or is there normal soil with organic humus component under that top dressing? Does anyone know?
