REGULARLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
We have put together some commonly asked questions
What is bonsai and where did it originate?
Bonsai is the art of growing miniature trees in shallow pots to mimic full‑size trees. It evolved from Chinese penjing and developed into the form widely associated with Japan.
What are the best bonsai trees for beginners?
Good starter species: juniper, ficus, Chinese elm, dwarf jade and cotoneaster. Choose by climate and whether you can provide outdoor light and temperature changes.
How often should I water my bonsai?
Check soil daily and water when the top 1–2 cm feels slightly dry. Small bonsai often need daily watering in summer and less in cooler months.
When and how should I repot my bonsai?
Repot in early spring. Young trees: every 1–3 years; mature: every 3–5+ years. Trim circling roots, refresh soil and choose a slightly larger, well‑draining pot.
How do I wire a bonsai without damaging it?
Use appropriate wire size, wrap at a 45° angle without over‑tightening and bend branches gently. Remove wire after 3–12 months or before it cuts into bark.
How much sunlight does a bonsai need?
How much sunlight does a bonsai need? Outdoor species need several hours of direct sun; indoor species prefer bright, indirect light. Rotate to ensure even growth.
