Basic Information About The Bonsai Tree

Others may call the bonsai tree a dwarf plant, but the name literally means “potted plant” that originally came from China. According to the best bonsai book, the name is a combination of two words, with ‘bon’ that means tray or dish and ‘sai’ which means tree or plant. This makes the tray or container the home for this miniature shrub

The early types of this plant were first seen in Republic of China, more than a thousand years ago. And that taking care of these specimen trees in little pots has been regarded as a balance of expression of all elements in peace and harmony that is between heaven and earth. And owning one is well believed to bring peace and calmness to whoever has it. In fact, Buddhist monks are the first people to take good care and grow these plants inside their quiet monasteries. Then the image of having these potted plants changed when it reached Japan, as having one of these trees in the house has been associated with the well to do families, rich, Japanese elite. Then the plant was quickly associated as a symbol of fame, prestige and honor. They also buy some more of these trees aside from the ones that they have so they can showcase these plants on special events.

Bonsai tree types include the following: the indoor bonsai type, the outdoor species that are divided into evergreen trees like pines, junipers and deciduous trees like ginko, maples and elms to name some. Indoor ones are really great gifts for beginner bonsai growers. And then the varieties of this type from the bonsai book include serissa, fukien tea, sago palms, schefflera, aralias, brush cherry, gardenias, bougainvillea and money tree, among others. If you would like to know if there are indeed species perfect for starter growers then yes there are some types for newbies as well as the Aged Specimen is the type that can make a perfect gift for real bonsai enthusiasts.

Other varieties such as the outdoor species are the ones considered as those that can be placed outside one’s home. These outdoor types include boxwoods, azaleas, most pines and junipers. On the other hand, the deciduous trees are those types that lose their leaves during fall but grow back again during spring. These types include larch, maple, apricot, ginkgo, crabapple and other elm species.

Taking care of the bonsai tree depends on their type. For indoor ones, these have to be brought outside, every morning to get at least four to six hours of sun exposure. They also have to be watered using a controlled amount of water so as not to rot the roots. For outdoor types, these should be protected against outside pests and animals, as well as being sheltered if needed to avoid too much cold temperature during winter.

As for the deciduous ones, they have to be watered every other day and be given fertilizers every few weeks with little exposure to direct sunlight especially during winter months.

Generally, these plants need to be transferred to another pot after a year or two, to trim the roots and allow the rest of the smallest ones to grow. It is important as well to place them in a container that has holes at the sides to let the excess water flow and to keep the soil properly hydrated. Keep the bonsai tree out of the sunlight in between its brightest hours, from 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Too much sun exposure can dehydrate the plant and eventually kill these trees. In essence, taking care of it involves the balance of light, heat, humidity, fertilizer and water supply. This is where it goes back to having the bonsai tree around as a symbol of balance, calmness and tranquility around the house.
