By Susan Dawson


For artistic reasons bonsais were made, they are also made for convenience for not all of the land of japan are healthy for planting. Now, these are already practiced by most of the known ornamental experts of the world. A lot of people want to have such because most of the population of the world is leaving in a studio type apartment or condominium and does not have property for tree planting. With this gardening institutions are already making mini crape myrtle for sale.

To starts, look for a healthy potted baby myrtle, be sure that it is good enough for a bonsai process and not too tender. If you already have it then gently remove it from the pot. Take good care of it that the stem and roots will not be detached. For if it will be, then the plant is no longer useful for the artwork and you will be wasting it.

Then you can now start removing the soil by using a strong spraying hose. This method is not just to remove the principal soil but also to soften those who cannot be removed by the flowing waters. For the remaining, use your hands to deal them and do it gently.

Cutting will be the next thing to do afterward. The roots must be fit to the pot or enough to meet your desired size of a bonsai. If you think that it is too big, then you can have minor mutilation of its main root. If you think that the branches are too high or too wide then you can also cut them off, after all it will recover after few weeks and transform into a miniature one.

Have a pot small enough for a bonsai and some sphagnum moss form its base. Put some amount of moss into the pot. And so, wrap then its roots with moss the place it in the pot. Hardly press it so that the water absorbed will be released. If the moss in the pot cannot hold the plant then add more sphagnum until it will not go sidewards.

You can also buy a bonsai dirt for this. This type of dirt is made out of fifty percent pebbles and fifty percent compost dirt. Just put soil deep enough into the lower part of the pot. Then put the plan and cover it with the dirt. Press it gently to make it intact.

Bonsais are not to grow upwards but sidewards because their growth is controlled. If you found anything that might grow upwards after few days, the cut it out. Be aware that you have to maintain its shape and its size.

Speaking of shape, you have to use small wire for its branches for you to control its shape. And use the big wire to create a patter for your bonsai. Roll the small wires into the branches and and lay them horizontally for the meantime. The get the pattern and cut them using a twig scissor by following its shape, so the parts that will exceed to the line must be cut.

Bonsai is an ideal gift for a close friend of yours for this will give him grace and happiness. A gift that is more personalized and something that is not perishable will be the most thoughtful gift a person will receive. But if you yourself cannot make such, then mini crape myrtle for sale can be a choice.
