Most important Bonsai Caring Tip
Watering
Watering is the most important part of bonsai farming. If you over do it or under do it you run the risk of losing your plant.
-It carries nutrients and washes out excess salts
-It replenishes the soil environment by flushing out used gases and brings in a fresh supply.
Tips For Watering:
-Water three times, once for the pot, once for the soil and once for the tree.
-All parts of the plant absorb water so don't just water the soil.
-Do not just blast the hose on the soil use a nozzle that slows down the pressure. Be careful not to use a hose that is lying in the sun all day, it could cause the tree to cook. LOL
-Immerse the pot in water once a weak on till bubbling stops. This ensures that the soil is fully saturated making it easier to water in the week.
-Water early in the day.
-Watering is a learned skill in Japan the apprentice is mostly allowed to prune. He starts watering after four years.

The aim of pruning your bonsai
-to remove branches that clutter the chosen style and obstruct our basic design.
-pruning to redirect growth (we prune one area heavily and another much less; growth is directed to the less pruned area)
-we have fine pruning techniques like leaf pruning, and bud or candle pinching to encourage fine branching and back-budding.
Root pruning should be done at the start of spring and only when the bonsai's roots have become grounded in the pot.

- I love Bonsai trees and have purchased them as gifts. I would like to make one but feel I would kill it. Do these trees do well indoors? How much light and what type of light do they need.
