What makes a great bonsai gift?
A great bonsai gift combines visual appeal, ease of care and suitability for the recipient’s environment. Consider the recipient’s light levels, time available for plant care and whether they prefer flowering, evergreen or low-maintenance plants. Including a starter kit, clear instructions and a thoughtful presentation elevates the experience and increases the likelihood the tree will thrive.

Care & Maintenance
SHORT GUIDE
Watering
In warm weather check the compost daily and water once the surface feels dry. Raise humidity for indoor specimens; alter watering routines seasonally for outdoor trees.
Light
Indoor varieties thrive in bright, filtered light — add grow lights where natural light is weak. Outdoor species range from full sun to partial shade depending on the cultivar.
Feeding
Use a balanced bonsai fertiliser during active growth to support foliage and root and overall vigour; reduce or stop feeding during dormancy.
Pruning & Wiring
Trim regularly to preserve shape and encourage ramification. Wiring is a specialist skill — apply gently and remove before wires bite, or join a workshop for hands‑on help.
Repotting
Re‑pot every 2–5 years according to vigour and root development, using a suitable, free‑draining bonsai soil mix and fresh nutrients.
Pests & Diseases
Inspect often for scale, aphids, mites and fungal spots. Treat promptly with appropriate horticultural products and remove affected material to prevent spread.
