as im new to this field i do not have proper bonsai plants but i can share the names of the plants i am planing to make bonsai. they are:
1. jade
2. acacia
3. peelkin (ficus banyan)
4. conocarpus (its a coastal line shrub/tree in two colors; green and silver), and
5. normal ficus

would be glad to share and receive info on these plants and others as well and when they grow into some shape offcourse will share my pics

second thing i want to know is about the tools, especially the concave cutter. is it available in pakistan? how much would that cost? and other tools?

siliconhead Welcome,
jade is fun to make Bonsai. it will transform into bonsai very quickly but at the same time you need to cut/prune it regularly. Ficus are good option for starters, try to use small leaves Ficus, other options are Bougainvillea and Saroo.. they make very good lookin Bonsai.
best wishes

For Bonsai tools like cutter, wire cutter, wires and concave cutters please visit nearest hardware shops, hopefully you will find every thing.

thank you admin for the kind welcome...

yes tool such as regular wire cutters, scissors, knob cutters and even wires are available but concave cutter is smth which we the starters miss

yes the normal ficus i mentioned last is the one with small leaves so hope it turns into a good bonsai along my jades, which are having special attention at the moment. am cutting them, pinching them, wired a few but all is kindda in experimental stages. lets hope i can learn and share

Siliconhead you are welcome.
have seen concave cutters at tool shops, usually carpenters use it to pull the iron nails. what you have to do is to sharp its edges. also Google bonsai tools in Pakistan, you will find whole set.
