My First Bonsai Garden

When I watched the movie "Karate Kid" for the first time, it was when I first fell in love with bonsai gardening. Ever since Mr. Miagi taught Daniel-son to take care of his own bonsai, I knew that I wanted my own Mr. Miagi teaching me how to prune these wonderful plants.

I didn't find Mr. Miagi (considering he is a fictional character) but I did find Thomas, a man who worked at a local nursery who was more than willing to teach me the fundamentals of bonsai gardening. Thomas showed me what tools to use, how to prune them, how much water to give and even when I should replace the pots.

Today, I am forever thankful to Thomas, my Mr. Miagi, for showing me the rights and the wrongs of bonsai gardening. Today, I have over a dozen bonsai pots in my backyard and each of them is perfectly pruned and watered.

Make Bonsai Gardening Fun & Easy 

Thomas no longer works at the nursery which is a shame, because sometimes I have questions about my bonsai garden that I cannot answer on my own.

That is why I started reading Bonsai Care Secrets. They offer various tips and pointers for any bonsai gardener. An example of some pointers:

-How to identify types of Bonsai for Indoor or Outdoor growing

  • 3 simple ways to grow Bonsai from cuttings or seeds


  • The little-known way to revive an ailing Bonsai


  • The proper steps to selecting potting soil and fertilizer


  • Learn the simple tips and tricks to training, pruning and shaping a Bonsai plant


  • Proven strategies for that will aid in preventing pests and diseases


  • Learn how to choose the right pot and pot color for your Bonsai


  • Achieve growing success with your first Bonsai tree as you will learn which Bonsai is the most hearty and easiest to grow


  • Today, Bonsai Care Secrets has permanently replaced Thomas. Sure, this book may not have charisma and doesn't crack jokes, but you'll get the best results from it.

    Bonsai Gardening 

    Bonsai gardening can be one of the most relaxing and rewarding things a person can do for enjoyment. This ancient Japanese tradition has swept the world and now everybody from Tokyo to Timbuktu is growing bonsais in their homes. Now it's your turn.

    One of the first things you should do is buy your bonsai from an accredited dealer. There are people who sometimes sell plants outside of a van at gas stations which they claim are bonsai but are really a fake rip off. So spend the extra cash and buy a real. Once you do, find out if your city has a bonsai gardening meeting group. Yes, these do exist. If you are new to bonsai gardening, the people at these meeting can be very helpful and will tell you all they can.

    Now that you have your plant and your support, you can start working on your bonsai. When it comes to watering the bonsai, there is no set amount of water or number of times that you should water them as each one is very different. You should make sure that the soil is not too dry or it could dry out permanently. Too much water can cause the roots to get soggy and die. It's really an inexact science but can be learned with a little bit of patience.

    Despite what you may think or may have heard, bonsai gardening is not intended for indoor growth. Bonsai plants will grow best outdoors with plenty of sunlight and protection from the elements. Don't forget to take the bonsai indoors in winter and other inclement weather situations like storms and extreme wind or heat.

    Bonsais are just like regular plants in the fact that they must be given the chance to grow and expand their roots. You should replace the pot that your bonsais sit in every two years. The pots should be slightly bigger than the one before it, to help root growth and plant health.

    Pruning is probably the reason many people buy a bonsai. You should prune the bonsai with specific a specific tool: a concave cutter. A concave cutter prunes the plant without leaving a stub and leaves the bonsai looking great. Pruning can take a while to get a hang of, but eventually you'll get it.

    As you can see, bonsai gardening can be a fun and easy way to relax and take care of something if you cannot have pets for whatever reason.

    Simple Bonsai Gardening Tips 

    Bonsai gardening can be a fun and relaxing use of your time and they are a whole lot more fun to take care of compared to regular plants.

    Everyone could use a bonsai gardening tip or two when they want the best and most beautiful plant on the block. These are now available online. I don't have to make trips to the nursery anymore, so I spend more time planting and less time driving.
