How to Grow Bonsai Trees : Free Lessons for Beginners : Tips for Growing Healthy Bonsai Trees

Hm. I advice you go for Fukien Tea (Carmona) or Ficus indeed. You can take these species outside during summer but you should watch the temperature! ^^ Carmona has small white flowers during late spring and summer, really nice with their dark green leaves. I have two Carmonas standing in my bed room, located next to a window(south) and their easy to maintain. Till now... =p Azalea Indicum can also be kept inside and outside during summer, they also flower! GL

Ficus are generally a good choice for indoors. Also, some form of gardenia, and I think Bougainvillea.

Thank you for the reply ferdinand4444

This video is a lot better than others, you are looking up at the camera, thinking about what you are going to say, just remember not to mumble and open your mouth, we all want to hear what you have to say, it's very useful!

any indoor tree will do, but then don't take it outside at all. go to the garden center and buy a one foot indoor tree, prune it, repot it and go from there.

If I want to make a bonsai tree and keep it inside, what type of tree should i start with?
i may bring it outside once in a while, liek when friends are over and such, but other than that it mostly will be inside, if any1 could help me out I will be very thankfull.

thats for the help,
have a good day =P

OMG can we speed it up a little

oliva u said u dont have leave but prickles or needles its an out door bonsai not ment to be kepted inside if u leave it there it will die it needs a period of dormancy. hope i helped ^.^

you say ur keeping ur tree inside right? does it have needles (prickles) if it does that not an indoor bonsai tree its dieing because its suppost to be out doors its under too much stress in needs a period of dormancy. i would put it out side and look up more about ur type of bonsai

If anyone has seen my videos you would have probably noticed that my room is full of plants, Well I have a bonsai tree too and it isn't doing too good. It is winter so I am keeping it in my room by the window. I keep it well watered. The leaves(not realt leaves more like prickles) Are going brown and are becoming hard and falling off. The mass at the bottow of the tree is also going red and is crumbeling. I have triend everything! Can someone suggest a solution? Thanks.

pruning is clipping the "problem" and Unnesseccary unwanted branches and leaves and when repotting you trim the root ball down and theres leaf pruning which is cutting the leaves smaller because by today bonsai standards smaller is better

talking too slow took 2 min just to say take care of your bonsai.

What's Pruning

you have to train the tree with copper wires and ties to "bend" it while it grows. This takes a lot of care and time. It isn't like you can just wire anything, you might break it while trying...

You also have to wait until it "learns" to grow that way and that, depending on your tree can take years if you have a slow growing specimen.

Do you know how to form bonsai tree so it will grow how i want it to grow. I dont want it in the same shape all the time so if i want it to grow a bit diffrent like the leves will grow around the root or something instead of growing strate up so how do i do that can somebody tell me please??thanks
