Bonsai Trees Care

Bonsai is a Japanese word, it translates as “tree in a pot”. Nevertheless, bonsai trees didn’t come from Japan, but originated in China during the Chou dynasty (900-250 B.C.). It was many years later that Zen Buddhists established the bonsai tree in Japan. (Zen also is a Chinese import to Japan, the original spelling is Ch’en). Initially, these trees in a pot were grown from one specific species of tree; today a bonsai tree may be cultivated in miniature form from almost any type of tree.

The art of growing bonsai brings into small pots, trees that naturally are living in nature. In order to successfully train these trees, you need to create optimal growing conditions. The “optimum growth conditions” are different from specie to specie; some species can handle periods of relative dryness, others require near-constant moisture. One of the most important aspect is watering your bonsai, how much to water,, and when to water.
