The practice of growing miniature trees is known better throughout the world as Bonsai. It is a misconception that the Japanese were the first to practice it because it originally came from the Chinese.

Taking care of a bonsai trees is considered to be a hobby. Those who want to learn should first buy the necessary tools from the store in order to begin.

The most important of course is the tree. These range from $20 to $30 a piece. There are different types for sale so the customer should probably look around the store or ask the sales clerk for help before choosing one.

In order for the tree to look great, pruning and cutting tools will be needed. Some examples of these are concave or spherical cutters, pruning saws, shears and scissors. The cheapest ones start at $15 but for those with quality, it wouldn’t hurt to invest in a model that is just under a hundred bucks.

Bonsai trees just like plants need to be placed in a pot. This allows it to absorb water and nutrients that is mixed together with the soil. After some time, the hobbyist will have to replace the container since the current one will run out of space for it to grow.

Mishandling the bonsai tree can kill it. This is the reason that various tools were invented such as the potting trowel, the soil scoop and the root hooks so such an incident doesn’t happen.

Some people think that it takes its shape naturally. The secret is the use of wires that gives it the artistic shape. There are thin and thick models to choose from which really depends on the type of tree at home.

The bonsai tree needs a lot of maintenance. Another tool that can be bought at the store is a brush. This will take away dust that will probably be found in the leaves or the branches when this is left outdoors.

Those who want to try taking care of a bonsai tree can take classes since some stores want to promote this hobby. Some advertise in the phone directory or in the newspaper inviting people to join for free in the hopes that this becomes part of one’s daily habit.

If the tree or the tools that the customer wants is out of stock, there is a chance that the hobbyist can also find these items online.

A juniper bonsai is one type of bonsai trees that is suitable for beginners because it is quite easy to be taken care of. The are many types of juniper that can be turned into bonsai, such as Shimpaku, Japanese Garden, Green Mound, Chinese Juniper, Sargents, and Needle. These trees are also adaptive as they can be placed indoors or outdoors. As long as you follow some basic rules in growing juniper bonsai, the plant will flourish without giving too many problems.

One of important characteristics of juniper bonsai is that it needs dormancy period. This period can be considered as hibernation or resting, which is required by the tree to revitalize during spring and summer. If you want to encourage the bonsai to reach dormancy in winter months, then you can expose it to moderately cold weather about 60 degrees Fahrenheit.

Like other bonsai, proper watering is important for juniper bonsai. Although it prefers a dry period between each watering, you should never leave the plant dry for a long period of time as it will stress and kill it. The proper way to water the bonsai is to soak it in a tray full of water up to its trunk for five to ten minutes. Then you should allow the plant to drain properly because waterlogged soil can rot the roots of the bonsai.

On the other hand, if you use a tap water, you should repeat the process several times. You can water the juniper bonsai, wait for several minutes, and then start watering again. This repetition is to make sure that the soil and the bonsai has stored enough water to grow.

Maintain the right humidity is important for your juniper bonsai. To create the preferable environment, you can place the plant on top of tray filled with small stones and water. The stones prevent the pot to be soaked with water, while the water will evaporate and create humid environment around the plant. Another good strategy in this regard is to use moss on the trunk of the juniper bonsai. Moss will improve moisture retention and additionally it also gives a more natural look.

Sufficient amount of sunlight is another factor that you should pay attention at to take care of your juniper bonsai. Low intensity sunlight, such as in the early morning and late afternoon, is enough for the plant. If you put the juniper indoors, you can place it near a window to get the essential sunlight. Fluorescent lamps can be used as an alternative if there is no enough sunlight available. You need to expose the plant around twelve hours a day if you use this artificial light.

Every two weeks, you should fertilize the juniper bonsai so it will receive important nutrients. Organic fertilizer is the most suitable type for this purpose. Repotting the plant should be done once every year or two years. During this repotting, you should also prune the roots to keep the plant small and to reduce the pressure experienced by the roots as it is contained in a small pot.
