Answer 2

Anu has given an excellent in-depth guidelines for doing Bonsai.

With my humble regards to the writer, I would add the following information. I hope she would not mind:

1.there are two type of roots in the plant one is long thick central root that helps the tree to stand upright… this root should be cut removed with the help of a sharp shearing tool
2.the other are big bunch of fine roots grown around the long thick root. These fine roots are the conduits through which the tree sucks in food from the earth. These fine roots should be left intact
3.Bonsai pot should be shallow and have two holes in the centre. You should tie the bonsai plant’s base end with a nonferrous wire through the couple of holes, before filling layers of soil
4.the first watering should be done by putting the finished bonsai pot in a tub and fill water slowly in the tub, not above the level of soil in the pot… the water enters the bonsai plant from bottom to top. It is done so that the soil is consolidated towards base.
5.remove the pot from the tub and cut the plant all over branches leaving 10 – 12 inch high.
6.the height of the plant has to be maintained by regular cutting branches at their ends usually in November

Answer 3

if u like to do bonsai collect plant from older bulidings or 1 year old trees. add fertilizer mix and soil in a pot and plant it. if u regularly prun the root of the plant u will will get good bonsai.

Answer 4

The essence of bonsai is to evoke the spirit of nature. Working on bonsai is not nearly as difficult as imagined. All it requires is some basic knowledge of plant growth habits, pruning techniques and plant care. Succeeding requires care and some patience.
Defined simply, bonsai is a dwarfed tree growing in a tray or pot. Bonsai is considered an art in its home country and among its devotees throughout the world. The bonsai beginner will of course not create perfection right away, but the tree offers twin opportunities for pleasure. Along with the artistry comes the achievement of growing something.
Experience the sheer wonder of watching a maple tree -small enough to hold in your hand-sprout its tiny buds in the spring, fill out with deep green summer foliage, turn bright red in the fall, and drop all its leaves in winter.

There are several ways to cultivate bonsai’s. We explain three methods: by seeds, by cuttings and by wild sets.
Seeds

Cultivating a bonsai tree from seed is called Mishó. This procedure has the advantage that the grower has a lot of control on the development of the plant, but is also takes more time, experience and discipline then the other procedures.

1) collecting and conserving seeds
Seeds can be found in nature or just buy them at the store or nursery. In any case, get more seeds than really needed, since not all of them will germinate.
After finding seeds in nature, carefully wash them to remove all the dirt.
The seeds are best conserved in a plastic bag with a little mixture of sand and moss. Keep the bag in a cool and dark place.

2) preparation
Put the seeds in water during the night. Remove all the seeds that keep on floating, these seeds will not germinate.

3) the seed bed
The seed bed is best made out of a wooden box with draining holes. These holes must be covered with a piece of wire-blind. Fill a quarter of the box with rough soil and the rest with finer soil, up to one centimetre from the top of the box.

4) sowing
The best time to sow seeds for bonsai is early Spring.
Put the seeds one by one in the soil, leaving a distance of three centimetres from each other. Cover the seeds with a one centimeter layer of fine soil. When this is done, water the box. Do this by either carefully spraying it, or by putting the seed-bed in a tub filled with water. Make sure that the bed is kept away from frosty temperatures.

5) after-care
When the first seeds start to grow, put the bed in a sunny place. The soil may not dry up. Again, make sure that the bed is kept away from frosty temperatures.

Cuttings

Cutting means that a piece of a twig is cut of and put it in the ground to take root. This procedure has the advantage of keeping the properties of the mother tree. Most of the types of trees result in beautiful bonsai’s, but fir is a problem.
1) Selecting the cuttings
Choose young twigs from a healthy tree. If the stem snaps after bending, it's ready for cutting. If it bends or crushes, it is either too young or too old.
The selected twig must be 8 to 10 cm long and needs to have at least three buds. Take several more cuttings than is actually needed, because not all of them will take.

2) The best time for cutting
Cuttings from foliage trees are best cut in February or March, while cuttings from conifers are best taken in June.
Branch

3) Preparing of the cutting and the cutting-bed
Cut across the branch just above a bud. When the cutting has leaves, cut them, but do not cut all the leaves, just the ones at the end of the cutting. Big leaves are cut in half, because the young roots are not able to nurture them.
The cutting-bed is best made out of a wooden box. Cover the bottom till one third of the box with rough soil. Fill the rest with fine soil.

4) Planting the cutting
Before planting the cuttings, put them in water throughout two or three hours.
To avoid damaging the root of the cutting, make a little hole in the soil with a stick for the slips. Do not put the cutting straight in the soil, but a little slanting, and keep enough space between the cuttings.

5) After-care
After planting the cuttings, water the box when the soil is dry and place it in a wind-free place. When the first buds are starting to grow, put the bed outside in the sunshine. In winter, keep the box away from frosty temperatures.
Because the cutting has no roots, it is difficult for the plant to take up water. High humidity is necessary to prevent them from drying out.

Wild Sets

Wild sets are little trees that grow in the wild. Cultivating bonsais from wild sets has the advantage that it takes less time and effort. The little trees are also stronger, because they have to resist hard wind and rain. The disadvantage is that such sets have their own properties, unlike self-cultivated plants.

1) Suitable sets for bonsais
Each plant or little tree is suitable, as long as it can be transplanted and look good in a pot. The set is best crammed together, has to have must have well-developed roots and leaves and must look interesting.

2) Searching for the right set
Although plants with special shapes are very interesting for bonsais, they are not recommended for starters. Being easier to cultivate and nurture, it is better to focus on known sets from the direct environment. Mind the trunk of the tree. It will already be shaped, and therefore, it will be difficult to train it into a different configuration.

3) Collecting wild sets
Springtime is the best time to collect wild sets, because the roots are still resting. When digging out, the roots will therefore not be damaged. Very small sets can be dug out any time during the year, exept in the middle of the summer.
After finding the right set, remove al the grass and moss around the tree trunk. Cut away all leaves and twigs which are not necessary for the shape of the bonsai, or which can make transport difficult.
Next, draw a circle with a diameter of 1/3 of the lenght of the tree around the tree trunk in the ground. Dig a well around the tree. The well has to be deep enough to dig out the roots at once. Very thick roots may be cut, but make sure that the little ones remain intact. Try to lift the tree from the dug hole, keeping as much soil around the roots as possible.
Cover the root ball with the soil in wet newspapers and tie everything up with a rope. Wrap everything in a plastic bag and tie it up again.

4) Putting the set in a pot
Unwrap the roots and remove all the soil.
To make sure that the set fits in the pot, cut the big roots downwards.
Cover the bottom of the wooden box or flowerpot with rough soil and put the tree in the middle.
Fill the rest of the pot with fine soil and press firmly around the roots.
Finally, tie down the tree to the edge of the pot, to keep the tree steady in the pot.
Keep your planted bonsai away from wind and direct sunlight.
all the best
