Bonsai plants are an extremely popular type of plant to be kept in the home and outdoors. Many people have begun to keep bonsai plants indoors, as these trees are very beautiful and can often add a lovely touch to a room. However, if you are planning on keeping bonsai plants, it is important that you take the time and care to tend to them properly. Bonsai plants are usually delicate, requiring a certain type of care in order to flourish and survive. Because of this, many beginners get frustrated with keeping their bonsai plants, as the leaves will turn yellow, or their plant dies.

It is important to remember that traditionally, bonsai plants live and grow outdoors. They are trees, and as such, need the environment they naturally grow in. While it is becoming a trend to grow bonsai plants indoors, it is important that you select a type of tree that is able to flourish under those conditions. For example, the juniper is a type of bonsai that does not usually do well indoors. They require a dormancy period, where they are kept at colder temperatures and are permitted to rejuvenate. This process is vital for the survival of the plant. A juniper that is not permitted to go into dormancy will typically die within a few months. As more people are entering the bonsai hobby, there are more varieties of trees suitable for indoor growing coming into the market. Before you purchase any bonsai plants, you will want to find a line between ease of care and ease of styling the tree. This will ensure that you pick the right bonsai plants for you.

Some people enjoy keeping moss with their bonsai plants. If you are one of these people, there are a few things that you will need to remember. First, the moss should not touch the roots or the trunk of your tree. This can cause your bonsai plants to die out. While moss can add a nice element to your bonsai, you need to be cautious with how you use moss. Moss can suffocate or otherwise damage your tree, potentially resulting in its death. Grass an other weeds should also be removed immediately from your bonsai plants, as these will remove needed nutrients from your bonsai.

If you are interested in growing several bonsai plants in the same pot, you will need to take extra care with them. Multiple plants in the same pot are harder to care for and require special treatment and fertilization in order to be able to survive.

Bonsai plants can be purchased online as seeds, seedlings or adult plants, or can be acquired from your local retailers.
