There are many different approaches when contemplating growing a bonsai tree. Firstly you can either grow from cuttings, air layering, bonsai tree cuttings, or tree seeds, which of course patience is involved when growing from seed. But the easiest place to start i believe to get a beginner is to purchase a bonsai tree from the plant nursery which must not be expensive. Just search the world wide web to make your decision wisely.

Each manufacturer of commercially accessible fertilizer can have some directions printed on the container with recommendations on the frequency of which and also at what concentrations the fertilizer should be applied. The best advice is usually to follow these instructions. Over fertilization is not just a complete waste of the product, but may actually be very damaging to the bonsai tree. Those fertilizers which are placed on the foliage, as an alternative to being added directly to the soil are somewhat less harmful when over applied as the excess is simply shed from the foliage, dropping it in the soil, where it's later absorbed in the roots in the tree. A good indication with the dependence on added fertilization should be to notice the color of the foliage in the tree. When your tree is being affected by a deficiency of fertilization, the leaves are going to lose its natural luster.
Different species require different water, nutrients, and soil. Coniferous bonsai for example junipers and pines need less moisture, in order that they need a soil that retains less water. Tropical flowering plants, conversely, will often need more water, and thus need a soil that retains water more effectively. Check with an authority with a bonsai nursery for any soil recommendation to your particular bonsai species.
