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.

how to grow BONSAI plants?

also plz let me know name of the plants.

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….

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??

are indoor bonsai trees easy to keep , if so what are good starter trees?

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.)
