Caring for bonsai trees is a daunting thought but in reality, it is quite simple! The most important aspect of care is the watering, typically bonsai’ soil needs to be kept damp at all times, ensuring the soil does not dry out, or become too wet.
Caring for bonsai trees
@bonsaidirect Not all bonsai are an easy repot! This Jade bonsai had been left to grow out but now needs a lot of work and styling to grow it into shape. The positioning of the bonsai in its pot is key to growing bonsai and once the trunk is in place you can then work up the tree pruning and wiring the branches to create the perfect, long term shape. Then the bonsai just needs regular maintenance and time to grow! 🥰🌱 #bonsai #bonsaidirect #bonsaitree #nature #garden #jade #potting ♬ Chill and gentle lo-fi/10 minutes(1455687) – nightbird_bgm

@bonsaidirect Part 1 of Holly styling and teasing out this beautiful Jade bonsai. This bonsai needed some shaping and then repositioning back into its training pot. Its also a good opportunity to cut back some of the roots and give the tree some fresh soil 😃✨ #bonsai #bonsaidirect #bonsaitree #nature #jade #tree ♬ You and Me – Instrumental Version – Eldar Kedem
@bonsaidirect This Chinese Elm has such an incredible and unique shari at the bottom of the trunk. It gives the bonsai so much character! 🥰✨ #bonsai #bonsaidirect #bonsaitree #nature #garden #bonsaiart #chineseelm #shari ♬ Wistful Spring – Edward Josephs & Scott Rockwell
@bonsaidirect Replying to @Bonsai Direct Following on.. Keep the soil surface clear of old leaves and weeds will also help keep your bonsai healthy. Tip any unwanted new growth to maintain the bonsai shape. Weekly bonsai maintenance is important for many reasons. It keeps us in tune with our bonsai, keeps it healthy and looking good. Enjoy your bonsai. Take care Lloyd #bonsai #bonsaitree #bonsaidirect #nature #garden #bonsaiart #trees #plants #plantcare ♬ original sound – speed songs 🎧
@bonsaidirect Weekly bonsai maintenance Firstly – make a lovely cup of coffee and take a relaxing look at your bonsai. Secondly remove any yellow or discoloured leaves. All trees shed their leaves. Old ones will lose the green chlorophyll which shows the leaves true colour, usually yellow. At this point the leaf has no purpose so will dye. It is a constant cycle. New leaves will replace them during the growing season. Some leaves maybe be damaged, either by insect damage or fungus infection. This is perfectly normal as all plants, even indoor ones, have these problems. Just ask my dad about his roses. With weekly maintenance these problems can be quickly rectified before they become a problem. Removing the problem leaves will help stop any further damage and help new leaves grow in their place.

@bonsaidirect Replying to @Bonsai Direct a fairly common question we have had lately is “what do i do with this little tree that is growing”. Save it! Lots of saplings don’t survive but if it does you will have another bonsai to grow on and make your own 🪴 #bonsai #bonsaitree #bonsaidirect #nature #garden #sapling #chineseelm ♬ Belonging – Muted
