Good care of Bonsais - Doctor Needed!

It was too late to call in the bonsai doctor. My dwarf juniper is dead. I'm now trying again with a second bonsai but have this time ensured I know the straightforward tips required for good care of bonsai trees. Who would have thought, if the leaves on my tree began turning brown, it wasn't deficiencies in water, but an over abundance. On the other hand was just creating a much bigger problem. A Juniper likes dry soil. I was drowning the poor thing.

Bonsais can be produced from the countless number of trees and each different type prefers quite different care. Make sure, by collecting your tree, i hear you ask what type this will make it it is possible to ascertain precisely what conditions it prefers. It will then be considered a relatively simple matter of deciding on the best environment to maintain your plant happy and healthy. Some, like my juniper, thrive in almost drought conditions, others like damp soil.

Bonsais may be kept within your house or even in a nice spot inside your garden or in your patio - Outdoor plants don't invariably thrive well when brought indoors as the temperature and level of light they receive might not be suitable. It is often best if you mist your indoor bonsai with water as many being a humid atmosphere. Again - what suits one plant may well not suit another, and that's why you need to understand the name of one's particular tree.

While watering is crucial for the proper care of bonsais, also is the kind of soil. Again you will need to know what form of tree you've so you can ensure it's potted within the right soil and know you're feeding it the proper sort of fertilizer at the correct time.

Most of the time, experts recommend a mix of around Thirty percent sandy grit and 70 percent humus for deciduous trees and vice verse for evergreen needle plants. Hopefully, if you have 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 might know less about the good care of bonsais than you.

Bonsais generally have to be re-potted every 2 to 5 years. Again its smart to get top tips about the pot size and soil. Re-potting can be the time to do your root and branch pruning. That's where your artistic flair concerns the fore. Regular pruning for the proper care of bonsai trees can be carried out through pinching off new growth with your thumb and forefinger.

Wire and pruning can be used to encourage your bonsai to develop into the desired, artistic shape. I didn't find out this all information before it was far too late to save my first bonsai. However now have the best knowledge to make sure my replacement tree will not suffer the same fate.
