Growing Bonsai – Easy Bonsai Growing Tips
Do you want to have a sanctuary of Bonsai’s that you can relax and unwind in but your wondering is it possible? You’ve always wanted to have lots of beautiful Bonsai trees but you don’t know where to begin?
Making your very own Bonsai collection is easy. These simple facts About growing Bonsai plants will help you discover how simple and amazing planting and caring for Bonsai can be. We are going to cover everything you’ll need from ‘how to start’ to how to having your Bonsai for a long time to come.
Growing Bonsai takes commitment, rather than a lot of work. They have to have a lot of time invested in them, that is why they are passed down from generation to generation in the Oriental cultures.
If you want Bonsai you can purchase them at a cost of about $1,500 – $5,000 or more. You can also collect small prizes from the wild (assuming no laws are broken in the process): foliage or flowering plants such as azalea work well. If you’d prefer to do it yourself, then remember growing your own Bonsai takes about 3yrs to really start looking good but, just think how awesomely proud you’ll feel knowing that you were able to care for a plant that long!
To dive right in you’ll need; Bonsai plant (your choice) Copper wire Plant snips Appropriate pot or container Soil less potting mix
1. Start by cutting off some of the excess branches and wrapping the copper wire around the trunk of the plant.(not too tight!!)
2. Wrap the remaining branches of the plant with thinner copper wire and bend the branches into the desired form. You want to make sure that the basic shape of the tree is triangular.
3. Put the plant into your flower pot and plant with soil-less potting mix.
4. Be certain that the pot you choose will frame your Bonsai and add the perfect finishing touch. The wrong pot can compete with your Bonsai and overpower it.
Bonsai’s don’t need as much care and attention as some people might think. You can care for as you would any other potted plant. Here are some steps to help your Bonsai live long, healthy and strong.
1 Never allow the soil-less mixture to dry out.
2 Feed regularly with a balanced slow release fertilizer
3 Control pests and disease with products approved for use on the type of plant.
4 Protect your Bonsai from extreme temperatures i.e. heat and cold.
Now that you know how to make your own ‘tray gardens'(The word Bonsai means ‘tray garden’ in Japanese.) and how to maintain them you can create a huge Bonsai collection with an assortment of different types of plants of all shapes and sizes.

Any tree can be bonsaied, the smllaer the leafed trees tend to be best, I’ve got a fujian tea there great, you should try it!Heres some info on them-FUJIAN TEA (ehretia buxifolia, sometimes classified carmona microphylla) indoor/tropicalalso called FUKIEN TEAA tropical evergreen tree-like shrub originating in Southern China and other parts of South East Asia. It has small, oval, dark-green, shiny leaves and white flowers throughout the year. The smllaer the leaf, the slower growing is the plant. After blossoming, it forms small green berries and, if they don’t fall, turn red and taste bitter. The trunk is smooth and is beige to brown. The Manchurian pronunciation is fujian, and fukien is Cantonese.SITE: In winter, from 60 to 75F in a bright location, but not direct-sun. In summer, keep inside or semi-shaded outside. When inside, provide good air circulation. Leaves often fall with a sudden change of temperature, but new leaves will return after it has adjusted to the new site, and sometimes it waits until spring to develop new leaves. Keep it warm, it does not like to get cold.REPOT: Every 2 years when it is warm, prune roots, using soil mixture of earth, peat, and sand (2/2/1), pruning no more than 1/3 of the roots.PRUNE: Branches any time of the year, new shoots back to 2-3 leaves once 6-8 leaves have formed.WATER: Keep soil moist lots of water throughout the year, and mist-spray daily. Too little water results in leaf drying and falling, and too much water invites fungus problems. Yellow leaves are a sign of over-watering.WIRE: Usually not needed, but if so, wait until branches become lignified (woody).FEED: Every 2 weeks from early spring to early autumn (except July and August), and feed about every 4 weeks in winter. A high nitrogen boost may be needed to restore the natural deep green leaf color.
