How to Grow Bonsai Tree

Growing bonsai is an interesting hobby,but you have to learn about how to grow bonsai tree because it is different from growing normal plants. Unlike normal plants, you need to take a great care of the bonsai tree. I have some quick tips on how to grow bonsai tree.

Decide if you want indoor or outdoor bonsai. Growing indoor bonsai is more difficult than outdoor bonsai. For indoor trees you need to provide the tree with tropical or sub tropical environment. This generally means warm humid condition,and a lot of light.These conditions are not easy to obtain! Certainly not in the northern hemisphere. Unless you have a kind of greenhouse, that can be kept at about 12-15°C in the winter. You do not have this kind of greenhouse you say? Well then forget about indoor bonsai! So this one is easy. We'll talk about outdoor bonsai.

* A good pair of bonsai scissors.
You will need these to cut off small twigs and leaves.

* A concave branch cutter.
You will need this to cut off branches.
This can't be done with any other tool.

* A wire cutter.
You need it to cut wire off the branches.
Only this tool does the job without cutting into the tree.
So you need it!

*a good pair of normal garden scissors.
These can be use for all kind of coarse branch pruning
and root pruning.

Do both! It could take a while before you get your hand into making a bonsai yourself. You can only learn to nurse a bonsai tree on a live tree. Therefore it's good that you go to your local bonsai shop and take a look, talk to the shop owner and make your choice. For your first tree : take a species that you know! A kind of tree that's native in where you live. That way, you know it's tough enough to endure winter. Read about the needs of your tree and enjoy taking care of it. At the same time go to your local garden center or tree nursery and choose some container plants, tree our scrub. Take your time... look at the base of the stem and the surface roots. Pick a plant with a somewhat thicker stem than the others. Also look below the surface soil for hidden nebari (surface roots). When you come home with your treasures: Get to work. Now is the time you will need your tools and soil mix. Also you most probably need some bonsai wire.

Everyone has his own personal mix. It also depends on what climate you live in, but you always need some organic content and some grit for drainage. Drainage is important! Root rotting can become a big problem if your soil is not draining away excess water. Try this mixture. It can be used for almost every out-door bonsai.
*One part Akadama.
*One part Grid
*One part Normal potting soil.

Only the Akadama is special in this mix.It can be obtained in a bonsai shop. For grid, use gravel or pumish. And normal potting soil you that you can find in any garden center. Look for a potting soil without fertilizer. Another thing you may want to be buying is some bonsai training pots. These mica pots are not expensive.
