Growing a bonsai tree can be a challenge. You have to plant it right, you have to have the right soil and tray, you have to prune the branches and roots just right -- it’s a very hard process to not only learn but master. Many people have started to take up this hobby looking for peace and relaxation only to find out that there are so many details to remember that it’s easy to get frustrated. Here are some easy tips to help you know how to go about growing a bonsai tree correctly.
Water and Transfer
One should always take care when watering a bonsai tree. Because you are growing a bonsai tree in a shallow tray, you should remember that you must monitor the water levels of your tree daily. If you water it too much it will cause the roots to rot out, if you let it get too dry it will become fragile and weak.
When growing a bonsai tree, you should remember to keep the soil at a constant level of moisture and replace any soil that gets washed out with specific bonsai soil. Regular potting soil will damage your tree. Growing a bonsai tree can be difficult specifically because the tree can maintain its healthy look long after the roots have been damaged beyond repair. Then by the time you’ve discovered the damage to the roots, it’s too late to do anything about it.
Many people will tell you that you should use nothing but organic fertilizer for your tree and some people will tell you that chemical fertilizer is the best way to go. There is no agreement amongst those that are growing a bonsai tree and so you should experiment and go with what works best for you.
You should repot your bonsai tree about once a year. The best time of year to do so is when the tree is at its peak health, which usually occurs around springtime. When your tree becomes older you can wait longer between pot transfers and only repot your tree once every two years.
While the above is certainly not a complete guide on growing a bonsai tree, it should at least give you a nice start and just enough to go on. Before undertaking this hobby though, you should really talk to a professional and learn how to properly care for your tree and how to tend to it properly. While it may be hard work, the beauty of the tree in the end should make it all worth it.
