Indoor bonsai has been described in different ways. Some describe indoor bonsai as a plant grown inside the house, a plant grown in a greenhouse, or a plant grown outdoors but brought indoor during winter. Some experts on the subject even denies the existence of true indoor bonsai as they reason that bonsais, whether grown outdoor or indoor will always follow its genetic composition - that is to have enough source of light in order to survive. Whatever the description is, growing bonsai indoor needs special skills and knowledge.

When growing bonsai indoors, the problem most growers encountered is the provision of adequate amount of light. Indoor bonsai plants must be placed in a well-lighted location like the windows. The nearer the indoor bonsai is from the window, the better is the growth of the plant. When a bonsai is placed at the window, rotating the bonsai is a must. As the bonsai ages, its branches and leaves tend to tilt towards the sunlight. Rotating the pot will enable all the parts of the bonsai to receive the amount of light needed.

In the absence of the natural light, artificial lighting can be employed provided the correct lamp or bulb is used. The common household lamps or bulbs do not emit the right amount of energy in order for the plant to undergo the process of photosynthesis. Without proper lighting, the bonsai plant becomes pale, long and limp. An expert advice on the appropriate lamp to use is needed when planning to employ the artificial lighting method.

Plants from the tropical regions thrive well as indoor bonsais. Some of them are conifers, flower-bearing, fruit-bearing and/or leaved plants from the tropical or subtropical regions. The following are some of the plants that can be grown indoors.

 

  • 1. Atlas Cedar
  • 2. Australian Brush Cherry
  • 3. Bougainvillea
  • 4. Boxwood
  • 5. Buddhist Pine
  • 6. Bunya-bunya
  • 7. Calamondin Orange
  • 8. Camellia
  • 9. Cedar of Lebanon
  • 10. Chinese Bird Plum
  • 11. Chinese Elm
  • 12. Chinese Hibiscus
  • 13. Chinese Pepper Tree
  • 14. Common Olive
  • 15. Dwarf Myrtle
  • 16. Dwarf pomegranate
  • 17. English/Common Ivy
  • 18. Firethorn
  • 19. Fukien Tea
  • 20. Gardenia
  • 21. Heavenly/Sacred bamboo
  • 22. Hedge Sageretia
  • 23. Himalayan Cedar
  • 24. Indian Laurel
  • 25. Italian Cypress
  • 26. Japanese Cedar
  • 27. Japanese/Chinese Privet
  • 28. Lady's Eardrops
  • 29. Natal Plum
  • 30. Norfolk Island Pine
  • 31. Orange/Star Jasmine
  • 32. Redwood
  • 33. Rockspray Cotoneaster
  • 34. Rosemary
  • 35. Round Kumquat
  • 36. Satsuki Azalea
  • 37. Thorny Eleagnus
  • 38. Tree of a Thousand Stars
  • 39. Weeping Fig

 

Fruit-bearing plants developed as indoor bonsais bear fruit when given special care. Fig trees although can be grown as indoor bonsai need more sunlight than what is available indoors. Conifer trees are harder to manage than the other varities. When a grower plans to cultivate fruit-bearing bonsai, special care must be given so that the plant will bear flowers and fruits.

A common misconception about indoor bonsai is that it must be kept inside the house or under the shade starting from the early stage of cultivation until the bonsai reaches its potential growth. Another misconception is that bonsai grown indoors should not be subjected to direct sunlight. Only those who have taken extra effort to find out more about growing bonsai know that bonsai, whether indoor or outdoor must have an excellent source of sunlight, humidity, fertilizer and moisture content. Too much supply of anything can bring damage to the bonsai. So, anyone who plans to grown indoor bonsai must study the specific needs of that particular plant or tree.

    The Bonsai Tree

    The bonsai tree is not 'just another house plant' and fans of Bonsai cultivation need to have great patience and perseverance because it can take quite a few years for a bonsai to fully grow and flourish. One thing is certain, though, given the right approach, the end result is very rewarding.

    Bonsai history

    The actual name 'bonsai' is made up of two Japanese words, the word 'bon', which translates as 'shallow container' or tray, and 'sai' which is a plant or planting.

    China is the country where the art of bonsai actually originated, but it is japan that has really devloped the art of bonsai since the eighth century. There is also a theory that proposes that planting trees in small trays for artistic reasons may have started in india or pakistan.

    Whatever the truth, it seems that the growth in popularity of Bonsai is linked with buddhism as zen promotes creating works of art as an essential extension of the self , and the artist's spirituality In fact, the care and growth of a bonsai is seen as a type of meditation.

    Today, the care and growth of Bonsai trees is a very popular hobby that is practised throughout the world, and brings enjoyment to many millions.

    How to start - the essentials

    In bonsai you are actually miniaturising nature. This is done primarily by cutting back the roots of a very young tree..

    Bonsai trees can be grown from seeds or cuttings, but that is usually quite hard and it is perhaps a better idea for the complete beginner to buy a 'ready grown' bonsai tree from a bonsai grower and continue with the artisitic work that has already been done.

    There are a selection of essential tools and equipment that are vital to keep a bonsai tree.

    Bonsai tools for trimming foliage and roots are obviously important. These tools are small, sharp and often expensive, so think twice before making any rash purchases and it would be worthwhile to consult a good book on bonsai tree cultivation before making any expensive purchases.

    Copper wire is also essential. It is wound around the trunk of a sapling, so that the trunk can be bent into the required shape and style ( and there are many different styles). Copper wire is also commonly used around the roots of a tree to anchor it into a shallow pot.

    The choice of pot or container is also essential as it should reflect the sort of tree or plant you have chosen as well as the style of tree you want to cultivate. Whatever you choose, the pot should not be glazed on the inside and should have good drainage.

    Some popular choices of Bonsai are the Japanese Maple, Junipers, the Japanese Black Pine and Star Magnolias.

    About The History Of Trimming And Sculpting Bonsai Trees

    About 2000 years ago the first bonsai trees should have been planted already in trays in China. In China people mentions the miniaturised creation of bonsai trees Pensai. Besides, the typical growth forms of the tree vegetation are postformed in some provinces as a Pensai. In other provinces Pensai are formed rather in weird, symbolical shapes, for example, in dragon’s figure. China had traditionally a great influence on the cultural development of Japan. Thus the Buddhism could gain a foothold beside the state religion of the Shinto rather early in Japan. The first Pensai was brought to Japan through walking monks of the Zen Buddhism. In the culturally very open imperial city Kyoto noble ladies and gentlemen soon dealt beside the art of the Ikebana and the tea ceremony with the small bonsai trees.

    In the 17th and 18th century the Japanese bonsai art reached their peak. It had become a part of the Japanese way of life. Bonsai had served to better understand the nature and to improve in appearance. The main factor in the development of the bonsai was the restriction on the most important parts of the plant. All apparently dispensable parts were removed. The removal of all insignificant and the reduction on the essential elements for the final improvement was symbolic for the Japanese philosophy of that time. Bonsai developed in different style directions which considerably differed of each other. Bonsai artists attempted more and more culturally important elements like rock to realise accent works.

    After more than 230 years of the global isolation Japan opened at the middle of 19th century to the rest of the world. The travellers came back from Japan and had seen the miniature trees in the ceramic containers which copied ripe, high trees in the nature. Then at the end of the century exhibitions followed in London, Vienna and Paris. Especially the Paris world exhibition in 1900 announced bonsai to the wide world public. The inquiry for bonsai started to rise rapidly. The lack of natural small-grown trees led to the commercial production of the bonsai. Several basic styles asserted themselves. The bonsai artists made use of wire, bamboo canes and other technologies to influence growing, shaping and developing.

    Still today bonsai is highly respected as a symbol of the japanese culture and ideals. Nowadays in Japan bonsai is not left any more only to the upper class, but has asserted itself in all social classes. Japanese incline especially with pleasure to use only native species for their bonsai trees. In particular pines, azaleas and maple are looked as the traditional bonsai trees. In other countries people are not fixed and uses also many other tree species for growing bonsai under the most different climatic conditions. Particularly in last decades the development of the bonsai was going on. The bonsai world has become smaller. All over the world people began, whether in Asia, in Europe and in the United States, to discover bonsai as their hobby. In the meantime, bonsai art also reflected the great variety in predilections and characteristics of the most different countries and their cultures.

    An Introduction To Indoor And Outdoor Bonsai Trees

    You Can Instantly Become The Expert Bonsai Gardner

    >>  Click Here To Know HOW You Can Grow Your Own Bonsai Tree

    Bonsai, literally “tree planted in a tray”, are miniature versions of larger trees. Depending on the type of bonsai tree under consideration, their height can range from a few inches to a few feet. Like regular trees, bonsai trees can also bear flowers and fruits.

    There are two types of bonsai trees: indoor and outdoor. While most bonsai are outdoor plants, certain varieties are adapted well enough to survive in an indoor setting. These would be the tropical or subtropical varieties. If you plan on raising these, be sure to put them in a spot where they can get some sunlight in the mornings and shade in the afternoon. Avoid exposing them to too much sunlight – many varieties of bonsai do not bear up well under intense heat. Indoor varieties of bonsai include the ficus, baby jade, sago palms, serissa, fukien tea, pachira, gardenia, and some elm varieties.

    Outdoor bonsai are further divided into two groups. The first group consists of the evergreen trees, which include the pine, the juniper, and the azalea. As the name evergreen suggests, these trees retain their foliage no matter what the season is. They usually undergo a dormancy period during winter, which creates a yellow tinge around their leaves.

    Deciduous trees include elms and maples. These trees shed their leaves during the fall and re-bud at springtime. Most elm species fall into this category, as does the apricot, hornbeam, and gingko. Like evergreen bonsai, deciduous bonsai also go through a dormancy stage at winter. Deciduous bonsai are not well suited to being grown indoors – the levels of light and humidity are too different from those in their natural habitat.

    There are many types of bonsai trees, but they do have one thing in common. All bonsai trees, with few exceptions, need specific care if they are to thrive. You will need to protect them from both excessive cold and heat, depending on the climate in your area. Also, levels of humidity have to be monitored, and as much as possible you should provide the specific humidity level that your bonsai needs to grow. As long as you know what you are doing, however, it shouldn’t be a problem for you.

    Taking care of a bonsai tree is not a task for amateurs. Bonsai trees are unusual trees and they require unusual care. Most types of bonsai are not particularly hardy, especially when compared to other types of plants. If you are considering acquiring your own bonsai tree, or if you already have one, you need to know what to do to increase your plant’s chances of survival.

    Taking care of a bonsai tree requires specialized knowledge. If you are serious about growing your own bonsai plants, you need to take time to conduct a little research. But a few books and read up on the subject. If you know anyone who has had experience in raising bonsai, you should try to discuss the matter with him or her as well. Taking care of a bonsai is hard enough; being ignorant certainly isn’t going to help you.

    Be sure to find a local bonsai nursery. Avoid the bonsai trees sold in department stores and malls. Although they may seem to be in good condition and sell for less, they are often close to death and will not survive in your home for long. Retailers, after all, are interested only in selling the plant, not maintaining it. It would be far better for you to find a nursery that sells seedlings or small bonsai plants. This will allow you to experience the joy (and hardship!) of raising your own plant. Additionally, you will be able to shape the tree the way you want to, which is not always an option with the more mature plants.

    Don’t skimp on the tools that you need. For most people, raising a bonsai is more of a hobby than anything else. This does not mean, however, that you should skimp on the tools that you will need to raise your plants well. One example of bonsai tool is a concave cutter. A concave cutter is a tool designed to prune the plant without leaving a stub. Shears, pliers, and branch bending jacks are common as well. For shaping the tree, you will need aluminum and copper wires.

    Taking care of a bonsai tree involves a continuous learning process. While this article is not meant to be a comprehensive guide to bonsai care, it should give you the idea that there is much to be learned in order to be successful. However, don’t be discouraged. If you truly love bonsai trees, learning will not be difficult for you at all! And once you’ve mastered the art of raising a bonsai, you can look forward to many beautiful days with your miniature tree.

    Styles of Bonsai Gardens

    It is very important to realize when you are considering a bonsai garden exactly what style garden you want. Not all gardens are created equal, and some are easier to maintain than others are. This means that if you are a bonsai gardening novice you would be best suited towards a simpler style of garden to begin with instead of tackling the most advanced forms. Once you have mastered the basics you can certainly feel free to jump into the advanced forms of gardening and you will have the knowledge and confidence you need in order to have a beautiful garden.

    While the professionals at Bonsai Boy can help, you select the right plants that will match the style garden you select. The first style is the Chokkan; this style is considered the best for beginners because it is one of the easiest and simplest to learn. The trees in this style are typically upright and straight. If you are looking for a tree for this style look for something with a straight trunk and a balanced branch structure. Typically, the plants from this style are planted in rectangular shaped pots, which accent the shape.

    Next is the Moyogi, this form is a bit more advanced style. The top of the trunk leans forward slightly instead of growing straight up. Young plants tend to be much easier to locate in this form because they are more flexible. This style also looks great in an oval or even rectangular planter that helps to accentuate the style of the plant.

    Shakkan is next with a trunk that slants more than the Chokkan or Moyogi styles. This tends to be considered an intermediate style of bonsai garden and the plants are typically planted in round or square planters so that the tree bends out over the planter.

    Kengais the next, it is one of the more advanced styles available. This style tends to be very difficult because of the sloping style of the plant that is required. For this style to be best used it is helpful if a round or hexagonal planter is used that is higher than it is wide to help the plant cascade in the proper direction better.

    Han-kengai is next. This requires the trunk to grow straight before cascading downward on a slight angle. The angle is very slight and not dramatic at all compared to many of the other styles. The shape of the pot is usually a round or hexagonal pot same as with cascading plants, however they planter does not need to be as high in order to achieve the same effect.

    Funkinagashi is a style that simulates extreme exposures. The branches tend to be empty and blank which represents the loss of greenery when extreme weather conditions occur. Lastly is the Bunjingi style, this style has several shapes but is often called the strangest form of bonsai gardening. The shapes are typically unnatural and strange, which is meant to symbolize trees surviving in nature under awful conditions.

    Discover The Secret Art Of Pruning A Bonsai Tree - Must Read Advice On This Amazing Hobby

    The Primary Art Of Pruning A Bonsai Tree

    The art of Bonsai is the ability to artificially modify an ordinary to tree to appear dwarf like or miniature. This can only be achieved by careful pruning of both roots and branches.

    Although there are other key aspects like the type of soil used to grow a Bonsai tree, and watering techniques you need to be aware of, arguably non are more important than pruning.

    However, before you even think about grabbing the shears from the shed you need to do a little bit of planning. It's a good idea to get a pen and notepad before sketching out a design that you would be happy to use to help sculpt your Bonsai tree.

    You need to get familiar with finger pruning which is a must have skill needed to shape your Bonsai tree. The basic process involves pinching new buds or growth off with your fingers to control the shape of your Bonsai tree. Although the concept is relatively simple, the ability to hold the branch of your Bonsai with one hand and gently roll, and twist any unwanted growth between the thumb and forefinger of the other hand should be practiced first before experimented on your Bonsai tree. Its important to remember when performing this not to pull on the branch or tree which could cause serious damage.

    Its likely to be a while before you have enough confidence to perform this technique on your Bonsai tree. Its therefore a good idea to hone you skills on a small bush. Only when you are capable of making clean cuts should you think about implementing this on your Bonsai tree.

    Often deciduous bonsai trees like Chinese Elms and Maples prefer pruning with sharp scissors With these types of Bonsai trees you can prune back to a bud closely matching your originally sketch. Any new growth will then take the direction of the bud you pruned back too.

    When it comes to root pruning you need to trim about two thirds of the root ball every two years. Get in the habit of performing this ritual in tandem with any major branch pruning. Its important to remember that the roots are where your Bonsai tree provides nutrition and therefore should be in perfect balance with the rest of the tree.

    Proper Bonsai pruning schedules are dependent on the type of species, but its advisable to look at a full-sized tree in its natural environment as a guideline. Some Bonsai trees are pruned at the beginning of the growing season and thereby will stunt growth, and others towards the end in order to leave less leaves during the dormant winter months.

    Essential Advice On Pruning & Caring For Your Bonsai Tree

    You Can Instantly Become The Expert Bonsai Gardner

    >>  Click Here To Know HOW You Can Grow Your Own Bonsai Tree

    Many people who embark on Bonsai shy away from pruning or sculpting their miniature tree. Short term this shouldn't cause too many problems. However, as time goes by and your Bonsai continues to grow the need for pruning becomes a necessity in order to maintain the health of the tree.

    The art of Bonsai is to mimic a naturally growing tree but in miniature. This can only be achieved by the careful pruning of both branches and roots, and is something that should be encouraged to any wannabe Bonsai master.

    So if your Bonsai is starting to look a little tired and past its best, it maybe time to whip out those secateurs and give your miniature tree a haircut. Before you do however its important to have an understanding of what it is you are trying to achieve. Its best therefore to have a design or sketch at the ready so you can easily refer too when you are unsure of what to sculpt.

    Make sure also that your secateurs are sharp and designed for the job in hand. An investment into a quality set will ensure good clean cuts, vital for snipping away unwanted foliage without snagging your Bonsai and thereby causing possible disease.

    With design at hand its time to start sculpting. When pruning you should always trim back to new growth. This will ensure that new buds will route the direction the bud is facing, thereby, enabling you to have more control on the way your Bonsai grows.

    With unwanted leaves and foliage a popular Bonsai technique to master is ‘finger pruning'. This method of shaping your tree involves rolling the unwanted growth between thumb and forefinger before a final twist to remove the surplus. It's a good idea to practice this method on something other than your Bonsai first as you can cause substantial damage to the trunk if the motion isn't continuous and precise.

    Now that the top of your Bonsai has been dealt with its a good idea to consider root pruning too. Its generally okay to remove about one third of the root ball every few years. This will ensure your Bonsai tree remains perfectly balanced both above and below soil level. Now is also the perfect time to refresh your Bonsai soil with some new quality replacement. A little bit of fertilizer thrown into the mix can also be beneficial to your miniature tree too.

    Remember to water your Bonsai tree regularly whilst making sure it never dries out or becomes drenched with water. Trying to keep the soil consistently moist by watering daily is likely to be more beneficial in the long run.

    By following the steps above your Bonsai tree should appreciate its new makeover and gradually recover its lost beautiful.

    Exotic Types of Bonsai Tree

    You Can Instantly Become The Expert Bonsai Gardner

    >>  Click Here To Know HOW You Can Grow Your Own Bonsai Tree

    Not all types of bonsai tree are of a coniferous or deciduous species, with the occasional fruit tree forming part of the collection. The bonsai artist can choose a type of bonsai tree that is much more exotic.

    One of the more exotic choices is the Wisteria bonsai. A native of China, Korea, and Japan, they can reach 30 feet in the wild. Forming them into a bonsai is a difficult challenge, since they don’t conform to any of the usual styles.

    The flowering habit of the Japanese bonsai tree is perhaps the most spectacular of the Wisteria bonsai. The Wisteria flower, assuming a variety of colors including blue, purple, pink, and white, are both beautiful and aromatic. The Wisteria flower carries a distinctive fragrance similar to that of grapes.

    The early flowering time of the Japanese bonsai tree Wisteria can cause problems in temperate climates, where early frost can destroy the coming year flowers. The care of Wisteria bonsai is fairly easy. They need lots of water in the spring when they are blooming, adequate drainage, and ample fertilizer. Also need fertilizer in the fall before the leaves fall off.

    Another one the exotic types of bonsai tree is the Orange Jasmine. It is another option that will provide beauty to the eye and delight to the nose. This type of bonsai tree is a summer flowering tree from western and southern China. It has small leave blossoms which are followed by bright, decorative, red fruit.

    Orange Jasmine bonsai tree should be fed every three to four weeks beginning in early spring and continuing through mid-autumn. Light watering is adequate for most of the year only slightly more in the summer.

    The Orange Jasmine type of bonsai tree can be raised indoors since they do better in filtered sun and moderate shade.

    The Mimosa silk tree type of bonsai tree is as fragrant as either of the two types of bonsai tree above. Their lacy foliage and puffy flowers are also just as lovely.

    The Mimosa silk tree flowers bloom in late April to early July. During this blooming season they should receive moderate amounts of water. You need to avoid over watering the flowers because, like most flowering plants, they will wilt and deteriorate when wet.

    The Desert Rose bonsai tree is another non-traditional choice of exotic tree. It is native to East Africa and it can grow up to 8-10 feet in the wild. It has fleshy leaves and forms a very bulbous base and produces exotic 2 inch pink and white, open-trumpet shaped flowers throughout the year in full sun.

    This type of bonsai tree is sensitive to cold and should be brought indoors in clod climates. During this period they will need very little water.

    If you are a Bonsai tree lover and want more exotic types of bonsai tree, there are many choices available that could make an excellent design complement to the many trees in a standard bonsai set.
