Dyckia hebdingii type form. Pictured in March 27th, 2020

  
The wooden bench is a more than 200 years old antique.
The tray is a hand made one special for bonsai and came all the way from Tokyo a long time ago. 
The plant is one with several heads and has been under cultivation for more than 20 years since it was only a one head plant.



 
I just cut off the old leaves and I leave the axils attached to the trunk. 
The axils must stay there as they last forever and protect the trunk


Below a recently taken picture. 
One can notice the plant recover in just one month.
It is worth to remember this eighth heads plant is an only one
We do not consider it as eight separated plants. In nature, as they get old they form clumps that can separate and form isolated clumps but they are all clones and result from splitting heads.
