Bonsai are simple to create

Most people think that bonsai are mystical plants from a faraway place like Japan. But the reality is that they can be made quick and simple. Sure it does take a long while for them to look amazing but to create them in the first place is easy. Here’s a simple method:

Go to your local garden shop and look through the small conifers. Juniper is a good choice as they are easy to work with and come in a lot of different styles. What you are looking for is a single trunk with evenly placed branches. Don’t worry if there’s too many branches there, these can easily be removed afterwards. Take home, stick in a shallow pot and trim some branches. Instant bonsai!

Bonsai are not hard to take care of

Apart from the fact that you need to trim them now and again to get them into the desired shape there’s not much else to it. All you need to know are the basics to get started which are:

• Don’t let it dry out for long periods
• Give it some feed now and again

That’s it! You can learn the rest as you go along by reading up on the internet and in books.
