In many areas of the world bonsai require no special winter storage. Bonsai in warm areas remain outdoors during the winter, just as they do during the rest of the year. However, these bonsai do experience some degree of dormancy. Great Place for Storage of Your Bonsai. In cold areas that experience only occasional frost, trees should be grouped together and mulched with leaves, peat moss, or

Many bonsai need water every day, sometimes twice a day, so you should check them often. And summer heat and wind cause bonsai to dry out more quickly than usual. As days grow longer, bonsai also grow more hours a day. They use up and need more water. Also, with longer days and more active growth, plants should be fertilized. Watering also washes needed nutrients from the soil, so you may want

Re-potting an established bonsai is never as difficult as creating a new bonsai. The reason is fairly simple: the roots of a root-bound tree are the exact shape of the container, while the roots of a plant in a nursery pot bear little resemblance to the shape of the bonsai pot.

The best time of the year to re-pot is spring, when bonsai trees are most active and send out new root and top growth quickly. If a tree is root-bound in the fall, re-potting can be risky. Rather than re-pot  it is better just to add a pad of fresh soil under the root system. Of course, re-potting the plant should be the first thing you

To create saikei requires good planning. First you have to prepare the design and layout of saikei you will create. Before you make it real, you create first in your mind and manifest into a sketch on paper. Here are the steps you can follow to make bonsai saikei: 1. Sketch your idea for a saikei. Make a full size diagram to plot your saikei. 2. Assemble all the materials listed above. 3.

By studying landscapes in nature, we can envision saikei we would like to construct. As you travel throughout the country, take pictures of various landscapes for inspiration. When constructed the saikei will include rocks, trees, grasses, mosses and perhaps an accessory or two to complete the picture all staged on a beautiful tray or rock.

A saikei is a miniature landscape composed of rocks, trees and often a riverbed of rocks and sand. For saikei you can use smaller, younger and less perfect trees, material that would probably not develop into a first-rate bonsai. The landscape you create can represent a mountainous area, a coastal region, or even a desert scene with succulents. As with bonsai, with saikei you

As your trees become heavier and thicker and you work on larger material, your skills will become more advanced and you will want to add to your tools collection. Heavier pruners and shears will allow you to make cleaner cuts and will not tear at the plant. A clean cut not only looks better, but makes for a healthier tree. As you begin to use heavier wire, heavier wire cutters will also be needed

Your bonsai experiments do not have to be limited to single plants. Multiple planting is a creative and fun way to utilize inexpensive materials. In this site, multiple plantings are referred to as forests and groves. Forest and Groves Forests and groves basically differ in the number of trees used. A forest utilizes many trees, so many that the actual number is not important. A grove usually

The origin of the plant is a clue to its water needs. Obviously plants from a rain forest have different water needs than plants from a desert. Also, plants water needs change with the temperature. The warmer the air, the more water a plants needs. When air is cool, plants requires less water. In cool, damp weather, do not over-water, especially during dark, rainy spells. Plants also have

In areas where outdoor bonsai are in storage from late fall to early spring, growing indoor bonsai has become more common. Artificial lighting can give your trees light during the winter, but taking plants indoors presents special problems. Heating outlets are sometimes located directly under windows, creating drafts of hot air that dry trees out. Incandescent bulbs also give off too much heat,

When trees recently root pruned are returned to normal light after a period of recuperation, they need a period of adjustment. Also needing adjustment time are newly purchased bonsai being introduced to a different environment. Indoor Bonsai Moved to Outdoor Indoor bonsai that are moved outdoors should be acclimated to stronger light slowly. Once they are outdoors, gradually move them from

An important consideration in selecting bonsai is that species vary the amount of attention they require. Still, whichever species you choose means a commitment of your time. If you can not envision checking and watering your plants regularly, then the joy of bonsai may not be for you. But taking care of bonsai is not all that difficult. By paying attention to five important points – light, soil

Prepare the container by covering the holes of the pot with piece of fiberglass screen about an inch larger than the holes. Next, put in a layer of small stones (about ¼” in diameter) to cover the bottom of the pot about 3/8” deep.  On top of this, place a layer of your prepared soil mix about the same dept.

Juniperus procumbens nana lends itself to all styles of bonsai. Do not accept only the manner in which the tree has been grown at the nursery. Wiring allows you to wire a trunk into one of the upright styles, or to create a trunk in cascade, semi-cascade, or windswept style. Take the tree out of the pot by gently tapping the bottom of the pot and sliding the tree out with the root ball intact.

You should look for a tree or woody shrub with compact growth and small leaves or needles, characteristics that help improve the proportions of your overall design. Juniperus procumbens nana fits this description and is readily available. It is excellent plant to start with because it grows rapidly, making it a forgiving material for the novice. Its ability to send out new growth on hardwood is

A garden center can be the best resource facility in your area. The staff at a good garden center should be knowledgeable and helpful, willing to answer your question even if they have to search out the information. These answers should be given in a manner you can easily understand and should encourage you to ask more questions. Look for a center that is clean and insect-free, one with various

It is a myth that bonsai are kept small by being starved. When bonsai are actively growing, they require fertilizing, not so much to stimulate new growth but to maintain health. Nutrients are used up and washed out of the soil during watering. Like soil preparation, fertilizing is a subject that can become very complicated, but again that is not necessary. Ingredients of Fertilizer The three

When ten bonsai people get together to discuss soil mixes, you end up with ten different recipes for ideal mix. Thus the subject of potting mix can become complicated and confusing, but there is no need to let that happen. What is the Function of Soil Potting soil should support your tree in two ways.

Wiring, such a little word, such a BIG subject. If you're new to bonsai, you probably consider wiring a minor part of the art. Nothing is further from the truth. It is true to the extent that it will take more than one article to cover it. The first part will explore the different types of wire, and some of the advantages and disadvantages of each. While not a difficult skill to master, wiring

In some ways you use wire the way an artist uses a paintbrush. Wire permits you to design the tree you envision, enabling you to create natural, flowing lines as you reposition branches. Branches growing above each other can be wired to allow sunlight to reach both. A gentle curve can be put in the trunk, or the trunk can be straightened.

To increase refinement on bonsai that have their basic trunk and branch structure established, a technique called 'pinching out' can be used. With this technique, new growth within the vigorous areas of the tree is either partially or completely removed before it extends. After pinching out the apical growth, vigor is displaced more evenly amongst the branches of the tree. This technique

Bonsai tools, like the tools for any craft, should help you accomplish your work in the quickest and easiest manner. In particular, cutting tools, which come in many styles and sizes, are instruments that allow you to make cuts that do not harm or disfigure the tree. Choose tools that are well balanced and comfortable in your hand. Buy the best you can afford. With proper care, well-made tools

The most important tool for making cuts is pruners, which should be sharp and clean. If pruning is a new experience for you, get plenty of practice before beginning to work on your bonsai. For practice, prune outdoor shrubs of branches collected from the woods. If the pruners were a Christmas gift, you can get a lot of useful experience by practicing on a discarded Christmas tree.
