please tell me how can i plant banyan tree as they have long primary roots, same is with peepal tree? do different trees need different type of soil. if so please suggest me for peepal , hebiscus(china rose) and banyan tree , that how to prepare there soils at home?

Every bonsai grower has their own mix, so there is nothing that is 100% correct.

Akadama soil from Japan is $40 per 20 lbs.
Pumice or expanded shale is about $10 for 40 lbs.
Landscapers mix is $5 for 40 lbs.

Akadama is great for getting fine roots, but is too expensive to use if you are not working on quality material.

I use 75% shale, 25% landscape mix.
The landscape mix will hold some moisture and give a little bit of nutrients.
The main source of food comes from liquid feeding in the summer.

These plants can grow huge, especially the banyan tree.

Do a bit of research at your local library and you will get a much better idea of how to proceed.

Now go drink a beer and relax.

I got given a bonsai tree but i have no idea how to look after it? Any advice would be great.

Bonsai is a Technique of miniaturizing plants by pruning: http://search.yahoo.com/search;_ylt=A0geuqJuOSJLhR4AewJhxrF_?p=bonsai+techniques Almost all plants can be bonsaied, there is NO such thing as a "bonsai plant", kits with seeds are a Rip Off.

Procumbent juniper are good to begin with. A friend is working on a Scheffelera cutting that is turning into a very pretty bonsai, 3 years old now. Maple, boxwood, pine, azalea are a few more examples of plant material that take well to the technique. There are several different "styles" of shapes….

I am interested in starting a bonsai, but i just need a seed or two to start! I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, if that helps. Thanks so much!
Bonsai is a result of how they are grown. You probably have several kids of trees suitable for Bonsai. Maples, Pines , Junipers are all used to grow Bonsai.

1.John, Mohan and Juliet intend to set up in business together. They plan to open a garden centre, Wonders of Garden, to which they will contribute varying amounts of capital and expertise. They formed the business without any formal agreement and were trading under the name of Wonders of Garden. On day there was an advertisement in the national newspaper stating that:
“Excellent rare bonsai trees are available at low prices, £20.00 each, first person willing to pay for the whole lot secures them. Minimum ages of the trees are 5 years and free from any disease. Sale starts on 21/12/09 at 9am. Interested, call 020722255544 or No.1 Bonsai Street, London W1 1WW.” John saw the advertisement and unilaterally decided to buy the whole lot. He sets of early morning on 21.12.09 to be the first person in order to secure the trees. John was the first person but the seller, Silly told him that the trees were sold to Sally when she called in on 19.12.09. John was very upset and wanted to sue Silly for breach of contract.

Advise John as to whether there is a valid formation of contract. Explain all the reasons briefly. Your answer should be supported with the relevant case decisions on the basis of which you are going to test the validity of the contract in the above scenario.
B. Explain different types of business agreement and legal capacity of the contracting parties.

no it isnt. because its not a formal contract. its just an agreement. i cant give u any case studies. but that is the answer. is this for law studies or something??

For a good indoor bonsbonsai tree - pick a species that makes a good houseplant. Ficus is an excellent starter bonsai. It’s not overly fussy about it’s light requirements, and it takes a fair amount of neglect and will continue to live. (I know this because I have one - and until it starts raining inside my house…my houseplants will always have a rough time in my care.)

I got one for my birthday, but I don’t know how to take care of it. How much do you water it, how do you trim it, etc.?

How you care for a Bonsai depends on what species it is, how old it is, and the style it is done in, for starters. A Bonsai is not a houseplant and will not survive being treated as such. Only bring it inside when its in bloom, (If it is a flowering species.), or for special occasions and never leave it inside for more than a week at a time. How much and how you trim and or wire your Bonsai is determined by the style it is done in, species of tree, plus how fast it grows and its age. Also if it has gravel on the surface of the pot that is glued in place, remove that immediately as it will slowly kill your Bonsai. Check to see if there is a Bonsai club near you and go to one of their meetings sometime. They are a great place to learn and to see what others are doing with their Bonsai. Do you have a picture of your Bonsai. If you do I might be able to tell you more about how to care for it specifically.

I bought a bonsai tree of the type "carmona retusa." I don’t know how old it is, but I would guess about 2-3 years old. The thing is that it’s got some ugly branches at the bottom. Some of them are quite thick, about 0,5 centimeters. Can i just cut them off? Do I have to use some kind of fancy scissors? I have never cared for a bonsai tree before, do I could use some general advice too.

Go ahead a wack them off but fertilize it afterwards using houseplant instructions. Bonsai can be easy or hard to care for depending on the type. what is true for the plant/tree type is also true for the bonsai. So look up care instructions for that plant/tree type
To keep the bonsai trimed, usually you cut alittle bit each 2 weeks to a month to keep the shape and encourage the growth to occur in the trunk.

good luck and have fun!!

The sprouts of needles on the underside of my banzai are turning brown and dying. I keep pruning them and the tree stays outside. I water once a week and let the soil dry our between waterings like the care label says. I’m not currently feeding it as I killed the last one that way.What should I do? for more details just ask and I’ll add.

You may need to cut the roots back as well.If the weather is getting hotter you may need to water it a little more often.You can also avoid over watering it by misting it with water during the week.But do this only in the evening after the sun is off of it.Bonsai is difficult to keep. It takes a lot of knowledge and up keep.If you have it in the open sun this may be the problem as well.I know they are neat but they require a lot of up keep.
