Bonsai Trees

My cousin has one and i can give you some tips about the bonzai plant: 1. Watering make sure the tree never completely dries out. A good way to check this is to insert a tooth pick or chop stick into the soil and check the dampness.Generally you need to water trees when the surface soil looks dry! 2. Pruning Basic pruning is not required immediately on newly purchased bonsai; pruning is the act of trimming the bonsai into a pleasing shape. 3. Lighting Different Bonsai have very different lighting requirements, All trees need some form of sunlight to grow, so keep that in mind during placement. Junipers should remain outside during the growing season, but are sustainable by a south-facing window after wintering. 4. Fertilization Fertilization of most trees should be restricted to the growing season!

I'm thinking about getting one also. Great tips you offerred!
