INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BONSAI

External(outdoor) bonsai


Bonsai are with special pruning technique of over-ground and under-ground parts grown dwarf trees. They grow very slowly in shallow containers and retain a miniature form. The containers are small, square, rectangular, round or oval, 2 to 3 times baked and resistant to low temperatures. The plants need watered regularly so that the roots never dry out.

There are internal (room) and external (outdoor) bonsai, for which is necessary to decide before buying. Internal bonsai are simple tog grow and do not require special care. These include various types of trees and shrubs, which home is in warm places. They grow continuously during winter and summer and do not need a winter rest.

Internal (room) bonsai


External bonsai need much more care and experience. The ambient conditions can not teach but require an external space. With the arrival of the first salt to fall and the tree leaves are preparing for winter vacation. Their growth for several months expires.

For beginners, I recommend an internal (room) Bonsai.

When Bonsai entered the history of mankind, is not precisely known. Obviously, only that it happened in China before the 12th century and then in Japan, where in recent centuries, this art shaped by the greatest perfection. Bonsai interfere even in the religious traditions of Zen Buddhism. It is strongly rooted in the eastern performances of ethical ideal of beauty. In the early 20th century, the Japanese began to export bonsai, the greatest interest in the arts in the world, dominated until the last fifty years.
For many years, dominated by the wrong thinking that the specific types of trees, which is very difficult to cultivate. European tree species grows the same as the Japanese or even tropical. Shape them in different styles, but their size varies from 2 cm to 1 m or more. Given the diversity of plant species and individual plants with detailed instructions and criteria of education can not be determined. The nature is our role model. Imitate the growth of trees in natural habitats in mind symbolic three points, which conceived the outline against irregular triangle shape. The lowest point symbolizes earth, middle man, and the highest heaven. We try to approximate the proportion of 1: 6 between the thickness and height of the tree trunks. So, 30 cm high Bonsai should have a thick trunk of at least 5 cm. Very important is the design and arrangement of visible roots - nebari, that symbolize strength and power.
Bonsai is not just a tree in a container. The tree is alive and must live with you. Leroy Fuji says: "Learn from your trees, they are your reflection!"

Bonsai-More than just a plant, it's art

Most bonsai are created from plants that otherwise would grow into towering trees or billowing shrubs. You can purchase bonsai or start your own by digging up a smallish wild tree or a seedling that popped up in your yard. This plant will need its roots pruned before it goes into a pot. The far-reaching roots of wild plants must be untangled and shortened to fit into its pot.
The top of a new bonsai also might need to be cut back to bring it down to bonsai size, which is usually under 4 feet. (Bonsai are classified according to form and size, and the smallest are less than 7 inches high.)


Bonsai trees

To shorten a trunk artistically, cut it back to within a few inches above its desired height. Trim the bark from the portion of trunk above the highest remaining branch, and pare the stub to a taper. Bend the next-highest branch upwards, tying it against the tapered stub, with some padding to prevent the string or wire from marring the branch.
After a few weeks, when the branch can hold the upright position without assistance, remove the ties and cut back the stub, with a sloping cut, to the base of the now-leading branch.

Buying Bonsai

Most Bonsai enthusiasts started their hobby with either buying or receiving a ready-made Bonsai tree from a friend.

Some basic advice for buying Bonsai trees:
1. Do not start with buying a species of tree that is hard to care for; it is recommended for beginners to start with an easy-to-care for tree.
2. Buy a tree that is suitable for the place where you want to put it; only indoor (sub-tropical) trees will do well indoors, just like outdoor trees will only do well when placed outside.
3. Do not forget to inform what species of tree you bought; this is important to look up information about how to care for it.
4. Check the pot for damage.
