It had been far too late to inside the bonsai doctor. My dwarf juniper is dead. I'm now trying again having a second bonsai but have now ensured I am aware the easy tips required for good care of bonsais. Who does have thought, if the leaves in my tree began turning brown, it had not been a lack of water, but an over abundance. However I was just creating a level bigger problem.

Hopefully, if you've bought your plant from your specialist or garden shop they have the soil mix right. It will pay to test, however, as staff in certain non-specialty stores may know less concerning the good care of bonsais than you.

Bonsais generally have to be re-potted every two to five years. Again it's good to obtain some tips about the pot size and soil. Re-potting is also time to do your root and branch pruning.
