BONSAI CARE TIPSA bonsai is nothing more than a miniature
version of a normal plant, therefore it can be treated TRIMMING PRUNING AND TRAININGTrimming and pruning are the means by which a bonsai is kept miniature. This involves the systematic removal of vigorous growth in the spring. It is important however, to understand that for the health of the tree one should never remove all the new growth at one time. The roots are trimmed and so is the foliage on the plant. The tree limbs are wound with annealed copper wire to assist in getting branches to grow in a specific position and to enhance the look of the tree. This very flexible wire is removed after 6 months so as not to scar the tree limbs. Usually the branch should then stay in that position on it's own. Wire should be carefully cut from the branches. Do not unwind wires as this could break the branch. Trim branches to expose the trunk and to shape the tree into the look you want. Two goals in bonsai are to make young trees look older by thickening the trunk and the positioning of the branches, and to find enjoyment in a hobby that salutes -Nature.
THE DESIRED LOOKBonsai is not simply a styled tree, but the combination of the tree and the pot. The tree and the pot form a single harmonious unit where the shape, texture and color of one complements the other. Then the tree must be shaped. Every branch and twig of a bonsai is shaped or eliminated until the chosen image is achieved. From then on, the image is maintained and improved by a constant regime of pruning and trimming.

Watering Properly - Watering properly is critical to maintaining a healthy bonsai. Indoor bonsai should normally be watered every two or three days. Never allow your bonsai to completely dry out. Humidity trays filled with decorative stone not only capture excess water, they also create needed humidity around your bonsai. During the time your indoor bonsai is outdoors, it will require more frequent waterings. Thoroughly water your bonsai daily during this outdoor period. Water your bonsai properly by using a watering can or hose attachment that has a fine-spray nozzle. You should thoroughly soak your bonsai’s soil. Water should be running out of the drain holes. Misting foliage periodically is recommended, but should not be considered watering.
The Bonsai tree itself will present either a single triangle or set of triangle shaped features. The highest point of the triangle is, in most cases, the top of the tree (called the "apex"). The right and left points of the triangle are formed by the first and second branches (the two branches closest to the ground). Most of the basic styles follow this general rule. When viewing the displays, see if you can find the triangles. Other features to look for are good, strong, visible roots
(nebari), a At this point, a style should be suggesting itself to you. Does the tree fit any particular style? Can you see it as a windswept design, as a cascade? Is the tree suited to the style you select? Not all trees are suited to all styles, so you need to know something about the growth characteristics of the species you select. What kind of growth and shaping will be required in order for the tree to emerge? Do you see something in that mass of branches, twigs, needles, or leaves that others might not? How can you bring it out? You'll never just see trees anymore as you'll grow to notice the shapes of nature. INDOOR BONSAI Growing TipsThere are many varieties of plants that do well as

unwanted growth is pruned away as the pot size is reduced over
the years. Roots are confined to a specialized pot and are periodically clipped when they
become over grown. Bonsai may have a stylized or an exaggerated form ... mimicking the
aging as found in nature.
The length of time between watering can vary quite a bit depending on
conditions such as humidify, soil moisture retention, weather conditions, and size of pot.
Bonsai usually need to be watered every day or two. The best time to water is early in the
day or late in the afternoon at the same time every day. A through watering is
accomplished when excess water runs out of the drainage holes in the bottom of the pot,
BUT ... too much water can be just as bad as too little water. In general the soil should
be moist, not soaking wet, and not dry! TIP: Collect fresh rainwater in a oaken barrel as
a special watering trick. Your tree will love the chemical free moisture.
A bonsai must periodically be repotted
to supply a pot-bound root system with fresh soil. It is also necessary to keep the root
system in balance with the top growth. Most require repotting every two or three years and
should be placed in specialized pots. This depends on the growth of the tree and also on
the size of the pot ( some may be placed into smaller pots after triming 20 % off roots).
This should be done in the early spring. Do not fertilize for 3-4 weeks after repotting.
Do not let the roots go dry while repotting. Water well when finished but do not fertilize
or place in direct sun light for at least 1 week.
with commonly found insecticides and fungicides according to directions on the
package. Insects such as aphids, spider mites, scale, and root aphids are a common problem
corrected by sprays, soapy rinse, or a systemic treatment. Often moss gathered from the
wild makes a perfect complement to soil choice since it visually signals a dry plant while
looking great!
gentle movement and taper in the trunk (tachi-agari), a distinct apex, and well
developed branches and foliage. The trunk should have a good taper, with good root
formation visible at soil level. Branches should be larger at the bottom of the tree and
decrease in size as they near the top. The distance between the branches should decrease
as they near the top of the tree. There should be negative (open) areas between the
branches to give the impression of a tree rather than a shrub. A bonsai may have areas of
dead wood to give an impression of age. To fully appreciate bonsai, get down to the level
of the tree and look up into it much as you would look at a tree in nature.
boxwood. Note that these are all woody-stemmed plants
and can have their limbs wired to direct the growth in the desired shape. Tropical and
subtropical varieties can not tolerate tempers below 40 - 50 degrees F. These plants can
be left outside when the temperatures stay above this. Light inside the house should be by
filtered sunlight from an east, south, or west window. Grow lights 12 hours per day work
well if placed close to plant top.
