Even if you already own one bonsai tree, you might want to add a few more to create a bonsai garden in a few easy steps. Depending on how you want the space to look and the type of plants you are tending, you could get your garden started in no time; here’s how.

Rock gardens are among the most pleasant-looking of all bonsai plots. The plants are placed below pretty rocks, and the degree of water and love you give the trees will dictate how long your garden will grow. In these conditions, it is best to select botanical specimens with hardy roots as well as tiny foliage. To start the rock bonsai garden, most people choose a Ficus or an Oriental Bittersweet, which you can find at most nurseries.

Once you choose the plant you like, you should add rocks to its soil. The best place to look for rocks would be construction sites, or you can purchase a bag from the hardware store. The rocks you choose should be hard and strong, to ensure your tree gets the proper shape. You will also need to choose rocks that are somewhat damaged because you will want to put dirt and water in between the ridges. This provides the idea that the tree has really sprouted from a rock, and may provide a very good look to your house garden or any where else you may happen to live.

You can also create a bonsai garden using the potted plants you already have. Rock fountains or other decorative items like pillars will help show off the bonsai garden. If you have a lot of area in which to work, you may actually consider making a pond and then planting your garden all around it.

The best thing is to use different kinds of tree specimens in your plot. You can choose a tiny pine tree to be a part of the decorations, along with a cherry tree that has blossomed and grown cherries. With a bonsai garden, you can grow plants together that normally would not be able to thrive in the same environment, so use this to your advantage when you’re decorating.

Growing bonsai isn’t as easy as you might think. You need to put in a lot of time and effort into various aspects, from choosing bonsai seeds to proper pruning technique, in order to ensure that your trees are healthy and attractive. Cultivating indoor bonsai trees is really more of an art than a hobby.
