Bonsai Gardening Secrets
http://bit.ly/bonsaigardener
Bonsai gardening is the art of aesthetic miniaturization of trees by growing them in containers. Cultivation includes techniques for shaping, watering, and repotting in various styles of containers.
Bonsai Gardening started in China during the Han Dynasty. “Bonsai” is now an umbrella term in the West for all miniature trees. Many people are probably familiar, or got interest in it because of, the old Karate Kid movies when Mr. Miyagi would trim a bonsai plant in his apartment.
Bonsai Gardening Pots
Bonsai pots have specific needs and looks for your bonsai plant. Picking out the pot should be done as carefully and with as much care as you take to trim your bonsai.
Pots and Planters:
You need to get a good pot to hold your plant in. It should be decorative (pretty to look at) and also give the plant a firm foundation to take root. It is best to pick the pot after the plant is finished to provide the best harmony. Pots range from very inexpensive to a few hundred dollars. When choosing the right pot it should look like your bonsai is the perfect fit for it.
Pot Considerations:
1. The color of the tree and will it be a flowering or non-flowering plant.
2. The style of the bonsai and trunk in diameter.
3. The pot must be at least 2/3 wider than the height of the tree if it is taller rather than wide.
4. If the tree’s branch spread is wider than its height, the pot length must be a little more than 2/3 of the width.
5. The pot must be deeper than the thickness of the roots and larger than the diameter of the trunk base except in the case of the “Cascade” style of Bonsai.
