Begin to grow a bonsai\u00a0tree, you need to place it in the right place at first. To determine the optimal spot to place your bonsai, you need to know the tree species and in particular,\u00a0is your bonsai an indoor or an outdoor tree?<\/p>

Such as pine,\u00a0juniper, maple, elms gingko\u00a0and spruce trees all are outdoor trees,\u00a0so they\u00a0need\u00a0be exposed to the seasons like other\u00a0larger outdoor plants. They\u00a0will grow\u00a0better\u00a0under ample sun exposure,\u00a0except\u00a0when you live in a particularly hot place.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Such as\u00a0jade plants, ficus trees, and hawaiian umbrella trees\u00a0are indoor trees, most types of indoor trees are typically subtropical species,\u00a0which need to grow in stable temperatures. You can place them on your south-facing windows to ensure\u00a0sufficient sunlight. If you place anywhere else\u00a0in your house, you\u00a0need to add\u00a0artificial lighting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

How frequently\u00a0you\u00a0need to water depends on your tree species, pot size, tree size, and climate. These\u00a0guidelines may\u00a0help you identify when your bonsai\u00a0trees\u00a0need to be watered.<\/p>

For\u00a0the soil layer is so shallow, it is easy\u00a0to dry out very quickly. when you see the top layer of soil appears dry. You need to water your bonsai tree right now. To ensure fully saturate the root system with water, keep watering until the water run\u00a0through the draining holes.\u00a0You should not water your plants as routine, It\u2019s\u00a0better to water each of your plants individually.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

However, overwatering and poor-draining soil can also be harmful to\u00a0your\u00a0plants. Its roots will\u00a0drown in water and be lack\u00a0of oxygen which may influence its further growth.\u00a0To water\u00a0properly, you need to assess your tree daily. Here are some\u00a0tips:<\/p>

<\/b>Soil moisture meter:<\/b><\/strong>Insert your\u00a0meter\u00a0into the soil\u00a0near the root ball. It\u00a0will display a number that shows you\u00a0whether your plant needs watering.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the growing season,\u00a0fertilizing regularly is very important\u00a0for your tree\u00a0to survive and grow. In nature,\u00a0Trees usually extend their roots\u00a0in search of nutrients, which\u00a0are replenished by decaying organic matter.\u00a0but since your\u00a0trees\u00a0live in an extremely limited environment,\u00a0they need proper fertilization to replenish the soil’s nutritional content.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

To\u00a0strengthen your\u00a0tree, you can cut\u00a0young shoots and leaves,\u00a0it will expose the leaves underneath to air and sunlight.

Once you see new branches and leaves\u00a0morph the shape of your tree in an undesirable manner, you need to prune your tree\u00a0right now. During the spring, pruning will\u00a0encourage more flowers to grow.\u00a0During winter\u00a0season\u00a0when the leaves fall off, you can wrap a thin wire around tree branches\u00a0to control the growth pattern\u00a0and shape.

In nature, your tree will\u00a0have enough\u00a0room to grow a large\u00a0and\u00a0stable root network, but not\u00a0in a plant pot. So periodically repotting will keep its roots vigorous and\u00a0replenishes nutrients in the\u00a0soil.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Due to the lack of space and nutrients, excess roots can cause the tree to starve, or not receive enough nutrients. Your\u00a0tree\u00a0will\u00a0stop growing\u00a0or even die.\u00a0Repotting will resupply the tree with the nutrients it needs to grow and flourish.<\/p>

Your tree will\u00a0gear up to grow and change\u00a0energy storage from its roots to newly leaves\u00a0during the spring. Once its\u00a0roots coming through the drainage holes, your tree needs\u00a0to be repotted.<\/p>

Based on\u00a0your bonsai trees\u00a0grow\u00a0speed, most of them\u00a0should be repotted once every two to five years.
