Bonsai Care – exibitions
Posted by Bonsai Care on Apr 15, 2009
Mood lighting a interesting containers with artifacts and rocks all go to making up the miniature landscape which is your bonsai. Much more than a tree or a plant the art of bonsai is a landscape sculpture. I am especially fond of the bonsai forests especially the ones you feel you could get lost in.

Tools for Bonsai Care
Posted by Bonsai Care on Mar 31, 2009
A very important and often looked over aspect of bonsai gardening is having the correct tools for the job.
The essential tools for a bonsai beginner would be;
A good pair of concave cutters, preferably made of stainless steel. These are used mainly to prune branches and to trim up the bark on the trunk after cuts have been made.
Bonsai trimming shears. These are for regularly trimming the leaves and the tips of the branches, this is the bonsai the equivalent of a haircut.
These are the two essential bonsai tools but many bonsai tool kits come with these plus a rake for the roots, tweezers for pulling off unwanted needles and a mini broom for cleaning up.
You should buy the best tools you can afford as they will stay with you for a long time. Here is a Bonsai Tool 10-piece Set

My Dad just got me a Bonsai Tree and I was wondering if anyone had some tips for its care?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Feb 17, 2009
It's a beautiful tree about 11 inches tall from the base to the highest point. It is called a Kengai Bonsai which I think has something to do with its shape and it appears to be some kind of evergreen with leaves kind of like what you would find on a Juniper. I really appreciate those of you taking the time to help I would hate to kill this beautiful gift from my Dad.
Congratulations on owning your first bonsai! Now you can search online for it's care. There are many websites. My favorite is called "BonsaiTalk".
Kengai is Japanese for the cascading style. The tree grows over the edge of the pot and looks a little like a cascading waterfall.
It sounds like you have a Juniper. I hope you are keeping it outdoors! They will die if kept inside the house. They don't like to be watered too much and they love sunlight.
Good luck!

I haven't taken care of my bonsai tree regularly and it has turned brown is it too late to save it?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Feb 9, 2009
You don't say what kind of tree it is. But, if the leaves are still on it, not falling down, you have a chance. Soak the entire container in a bucket or sink of water for ten minutes, to saturate the soil. Then let it drain. Don't water again until the soil feels dry when you dig your finger in to about the first joint. Overwatering at this stage could also kill it.
When it starts to show a bit of green growth, take off whatever leaves you can brush off lightly with your hand.. Once it has visible new whole leaves, remove the rest of the dead ones.

How to take care of Bonsai?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Jan 30, 2009
I really want a bonsai for indoor plant, but the problem is, i don't know anything about bonsai, so is there any tips or instruction how to take care of bonsai ?
And what type of indoor bonsai should i get for beginner ?
i was thinking buying one from the store, not grow them from the seeds, so i was hoping you can give me some tips on how to take care of it
First of all, buy the seeds from a legit place. If your Bonsai is against a wall, you should turn it around every two weeks. If it is not, it may grow out of shape as it grows towards the light. Do not put it directly onto concrete if it is going to be subject to sunlight for very long periods. The heat generated off the concrete paired with the small amount of soil in a bonsai pot can "cook" the roots of the tree and kill it.
which one is the easiest bonsai to take care for?
Posted by Bonsai Care on Jan 24, 2009
pictures and links please
Indoor: Any fig/ficus, Hawaiian umbrella, aralia
Outdoor: Maple, elm, juniper
Lots more info on my site:

Don't forget, you first have to decide whether you want an indoor or outdoor tree, then go from there.
