Growing Bonsai Trees

Growing Bonsai Trees- Bonsai trees have always been marvels of the botanic world. They alone offer the incredible visual of mighty trees at a miniature scale and are an ideal and rewarding challenge for anyone.

However, understanding the following key points before you start growing and tending your bonsai trees will allow you to move forward with long-term success.

  • Tree Type

While practically any woody plant can be trimmed and tended to grow in a miniature form, there are certain trees such as weeping willow, japanese black pine, and chinese elm that have been bonsai tried and tested with incredible success. Purchasing one of these species as an already established bonsai tree can be a gentle introduction to bonsai care.

  • Seed Source

If you are looking for a more challenging experience, you can grow your bonsai from seed. The sourcing of your bonsai seeds can greatly influence your chances of success. Look for trusted non-GMO seeds that come with instructions and guides, multiple seed varieties, and basic supplies. All of these factors ensure the high value, success and authenticity of your bonsai tree growing experience.

  • Bonsai Tools
