Garden Lover answers:

Bonsai care is quite complicated. You should probably find a good book to give to your grandma as well. Here is an inexpensive book: Bonsai (101 Essential Tips)

Bonsai need to be trained and shaped with wires (if they are already trained then you can skip this bit), pruned both in the branches and roots, fertilized carefully and properly, watered regularly. Each of these steps adjusted to the species used.

Because Bonsais are generally in very small pots, they need constant care, almost like having a pet. And most Bonsai trees grow fairy slowly.

A bonsai doesn’t just ‘stay’ small, you need to work at it, to keep it small…..

Bonsai is still the plant that it is… If it needs to live outside, then it will not do well INSIDE…..

You need to study the where’s and how’s a lot more before you’re ready for a plant…. Best idea would be to get a book…..

You might want to get a Hawaiian Umbrella Bonsai Tree, these are easy to care for. Other typical Bonsai trees are junipers and maples.

First, you must determine whether you want to grow a tree inside or outside, then pick a species. There are 100’s of species used for bonsai.

How to keep a tree small?….Planting a tree in a container, OCCASIONALLY repotting and trimming the roots, and ALWAYS keeping the branches will keep it small. The trunk will continue to expand wider, and that’s good! You may want to read more about bonsai on the Care page of my site:

Garden Lover answers:

If you are really serious about growing Bonsai’s, you should read up on their care before you invest in an expensive plant that demands a great deal of attention. Most Bonsai’s grow much better out of doors and because their soil is so lean, they need lots of water and diluted fertilizer to grow successfully. They also need to be trimmed occasionally. This is a plant that needs your devotion – make sure you are willing to spend the time on something so needy.
