Go to your local library and you will find at least 20 books on the subject.
I have been in the Dallas Bonsai Club for 15 years and learn something new at each meeting.
Go drink a beer and start looking at photos to get a good idea of what you might like to do.
Making, raising, and caring for bonsai is easy if you use the new soil-less method which these video clips will show you. Your trees will grow and mature faster than with the traditional method that uses messy soil. I have been using this method since 1985 and have had great results. I started using this method in Philadelphia, and then when I moved to Florida I continued and find it is the best method for me. The traditional method works with slow, tedious growth, and wiring of trees. The new method uses directional pruning and fast growth to make mature looking trees in far less time than the old traditional method. There are so many advantages to the new method, I wonder why anyone would use the old, slow, messy, and difficult traditional method. Take a look at these three videos and you will see how much fun and how easy it is to become a bonsai grower and producer. Fun, fun, fun. Easy, easy easy. I have found the less you fuss with the trees and let them do their natural thing, the better they grow, and the easier the entire process is. You need not over-care for your trees, just water and feed them and occassionally prune them. It really works! This video was shot in about April of 2004. This is a series of three segments, as the maximum time for a YouTube video is ten minutes, The last segment was shot today, December 21, 2007, and shows what happened to the Juniper that I worked on in the original taping. That taping was unplanned, as my son Aaron was visiting from Orlando and we decided on the spur of the moment to shoot a possible pilot show for TV. He had never used that camera before and I think he did a great job. There is much more to show and tell about, and perhaps one day this series will be expanded. If you’d like to see a series like this on television, write to the stations and put some pressure on them. There are many people who would love to try their hand at this fascinating art form but are scared. I hope I have shown you that it is easy and fun, and nothing to be fearful about. It is a great hobby for kids and the elderly and all the in between ages.

I just ordered a Juniper Bonsai…but I’ve read horror stories about the deaths of these plants inside. But is it AT ALL possible? I can put it in the basement (or fridge) during winter.
I live in PA.
I have tried but failed every time.
Best to keep outside, over-winter in a sheltered place.
The best you can do is raise them outside and you can bring them into the house for a few days at a time to display.

is it possible to prompt the plants to grow indoors during the winter? Can they grow at any time in the year? Is there a way to make dormant plants begin to grow again early? Do house plants lose their leafs in the fall? I would really appreciate any answers anyone has… Thanks a lot!
Yes you can. Seeds of trees can be germinated quickly by scratching the seed coat lightly against a sandpaper; soaking the seeds in warm water overnight, and many more.
Cheers!!!
I would like to add a snail but I don’t know if a Great African Snail is the right one but if it’s not I would like to know if there is some other snail or small creature…
No. Restricting root growth is one of the Techniques used in Bonsai. A terrarium setting will allow the roots to grow naturally, defeating the purpose of bonsai.
I have a young red maple about an inch tall, and I was wondering how to turn it into a bonsai. Help!!
Agree with Flat. Maples make stunning bonsai, but it will take years and years starting with a seedling. Here’s info on maple bonsai: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=maple+bonsai&ygmasrchbtn=web+search&fr=ush-ans

This was part of my HSC Design and Technology major work in 2006. I combined my Japanese and Australian heritage with my interests in video and technology.
Part 3: Cascade
Tree: Grevillea
This video demonstrates how to create the cascading style.
Made with CyberLink PowerDirector4.
My brother helped film this one.
This tree was the first to die. Grevillea can be difficult to grow, they are a bit unpredictable as bonsai. As ground cover plants, they can have great natural shapes to become cascades, but since they often don’t last, it can be very frustrating. Few Australian plants are suitable for cascades, especially as some are known to drop weaker branches. Without control over the branches you want, you can’t control the bonsai’s shape. I think I have seen it done with Aussie figs however. Again, I recommend figs as the best Australian plants for bonsai.
