how do you care for a bonsai tree?

Posted on August 23rd, 2009 by Jon Brown in bonsai tree care | 2 Comments »

I am looking to get a bonsai tree but i’m not sure how to care for one could someone help me out. thanks.

Hi thing,
It all depends on the bonsai and the conditions.
That is what specimen the tree is. How old (or big), size of the pot and very important its location. Bonsai is normally located outside but you may plan to keep it indoors. Best to assure it does not get too much direct Sun light, but most like a light spot.
Mostly it is good to water them every few days. When outside and hot, every day.
This is in short. It is better to have a look at one of the specialist websites. On this page you find some info.

At the bottom there are some links to bonsai beginners pages. Enjoy,
