You'll want to educate yourself on bonsai styles and how to apply the wires to the branches properly. Remember some key factors here... - Only water the soil when it feels dry. This holds true when the plant is in development as well. Don't water according to the plant, water according to the soil. - Never water in the wintertime. - Keep your bonsai outside 90% of the time away from direct sunlight. I try to keep mind next to shrubbery where it will receive shade periodically throughout the day. I found a great article that goes into more detail on the basics of bonsai care here: Don't let the url freak you out. It's an article from a "stress relief" site but the bonsai care tips are very very good. http://www.stop-anxiety-panic-attack.com/taking-care-of-bonsai-trees.html Have fun with it!<br><b>References : </b><br> The actual “bonsai” will be created as you prune and shape the plant during early spring to summer months.
