The fascinating world of being a Bonsai enthusiast is certainly a worthwhile and enjoyable hobby. Patience, care and a little bit of knowledge are all that's needed in order to grow a Bonsai tree.

If you are considering venturing into the magical art of Bonsai you will do either one of two things. Either you will purchase an already established Bonsai tree. Or, the temptation to successfully grow your very own Bonsai from a seed will seem too attractive.

If you are considering growing your own Bonsai from a seed, here are a few pointers:

As we all know any tree must grow from a seed. You can therefore grow your Bonsai from a seedling, an off-cut or even a pruning from an already established tree. When choosing what type of Bonsai you would like to grow, initially consider a naturally growing small tree with small leaves. If you are successful, you can then move onto larger trees that are generally a little trickier to grow.

A recommended and artificial method of preparing your Bonsai seed is called ‘cold stratification', and basically is the process of preparing seeds artificially by storing them in a pot or small container somewhere cold like the refrigerator. This is will then closely replicate the Bonsai's natural living environment if left to grow unattended.

You could of course just plant the seed in your garden, which after all is probably the best place initially for your Bonsai tree to grow. To speed the germination process up consider planting your Bonsai seed in Spring when the seed will naturally break out of dormancy when the soil temperatures start to rise.

Using a fertilizer is also a good way to encourage your Bonsai seed to burst into life. Exercise caution here, but as a general rule you can fertilize using nitrogen phosphates and potassium once a month during early spring through to the summer.

Your Bonsai tree seed should be planted to a depth of about half to a quarter of an inch and watered frequently. It's extremely important to water your Bonsai seed correctly. Never let the soil dry out and never let the soil become waterlogged either. This could be disastrous and is likely to rot the fragile roots of your Bonsai is slowly growing.

Trying to find out how much water your Bonsai seed needs can be quite difficult. Therefore, it may be a good idea to invest in a moisture gauge, or any such device designed to accurately measure the water content of the soil.

All being well you should have the start of your Bonsai tree sticking its head above the ground level in a short time. However it's important to remember that developing a bonsai from a seed is just the start in this amazing and worthwhile hobby...
