Bonsai, Bonsai Tree Care


by Max Bellamy

Bonsai is like a baby. You literally have to pamper and take good care of it, not just with essential ingredients but also with passion and that special touch of your hands. Bonsai making is akin to investing your dreams or watching your baby grow up and take shape from your imagination.
Soil is one of the most vital ingredients in bonsai care. Since the tiny trees grow in a confined space, special bonsai soil is required, and the tree must be watered frequently. If you don’t, your plant will wither off, almost completely. Besides essential nutrients, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash must be supplied regularly. Water is as important to the plant as it is to human body. In bonsai it is all the more crucial since it is an indoor plant, hence, it misses natural humidity. So always place the bonsai pot in a small tray filled with water, with some pebbles underneath the pot so that the roots are saved from getting too wet. Do not water your little tree too much, as heavy watering makes it vulnerable to fungal infection and a condition called root rot.
Sunlight is essential, except when a bonsai has undergone pruning. Excess sun and wind will quickly dry your plant, but minimum sun requirements should be met. If your house doesn’t have a provision for direct sunlight, then select a bonsai tree that can grow in condensed sunlight.
Wiring is important, and copper wire is mostly used. It is woven around the branches in the direction you want it to grow. Once a branch is wired, you should make sure it doesn’t crunch too much into the tree. After six or twelve months, the wire should be cut at each twist and turn.
