Isn't it fun to see something grow? When you take the time to germinate a seed, plant it, water it faithfully and give it plenty of sun, it is so rewarding to see it finally sprout weeks later. No where is this more true than with Bonsai trees. These are beautiful miniature trees that can be grown in many different environment, indoors or outside.
If you are considering growing a tree such as this, make sure you match the environment it will grow in with the needs of the tree. Some trees will not survive outside at all, and some prefer to be outdoors when it's sunny. Shade is a big part of being indoors, and usually is associated with the more leafy Bonsais. Pine and other trees like them enjoy some sunshine when it's median weather outside.
Starting your seedling out right with the best soil will give it the strongest foundation. They offer particular soil for the Bonsais, and you can find it online or at your local home and garden store. They also need water every day, and are not something you can leave unattended for days at a time. Find which place in your home or office they seem to prefer most, and then leave them there for optimum growth.
As your bonsai tree grows, you will find out how to shape and trim the branches. It's important to do this the right way, because either undercutting or over-cutting will create problems for your miniature plant. Once wood branches start to appear, you can also use special shaping wire to help form the familiar shapes of these beloved trees.
If you prefer the unique look, why not try a fruit-producing Bonsai? It is exciting and fun to watch small citrus fruit and berries grow indoors, when they have only been known to grow outdoors on regular sized trees. It also makes for a great conversation piece when people ask about it, and how you are able to grow something of that nature.
Purchasing the trees can be expensive, but if you shop around, you can get quite the bargain. While full-grown trees come at a hefty price, you can also find some variations that are just as pretty, but less pricey. Certain companies offer magazines to the entire United States, but are not allowed to ship to every state, so check with the company before placing an order with that particular distributor.
The Orient is a beautiful place and bringing a little bit of that into your home is a delight and an art of beauty. If you care for the plant correctly and regularly, you will be able to enjoy it for many years. These can even be passed down to your children or grandchildren, along with proper care so it can last for many more years.
Bonsai trees are special and not something you see everywhere. When your friends and family see what you have grown, it will be a testimony to your patience as well as your stability. These are the types of plants that show a lot of their owner's personality and can be a very charming introduction into your home or office.
