The Bonsai Tree Facts You Should Know
While others refer to it as a dwarf plant, but the fact is that the bonsai tree literally means "potted plant" and that it first seen in China. Two words from the best bonsai book, with 'bon' that means dish and 'sai' that refers to tree or plant. This combination gives away the fact that the tray or container is considered to be the home for this little shrub.
The early specimens of this kind first appeared in China, more than a thousand years ago. growing these specimen trees in pots has been considered as an expression of elements in harmony, between heaven and earth. Having one nearby is believed to bring peace and tranquility to whoever takes care of it. Buddhist monks are the first people to grow these inside their monasteries.

Aside from taking care of their own bonsai trees at home, they also buy some more of these for display on special occasions.
Bonsai tree types include the following: the indoor bonsai type, the outdoor species that are divided into evergreen trees like pines, junipers and deciduous trees like ginko, maples and elms to name some. Indoor ones are really great gifts for beginner bonsai growers. And then the varieties of this type from the bonsai book include serissa, fukien tea, sago palms, schefflera, aralias, brush cherry, gardenias, bougainvillea and money tree, among others. If you would like to know if there are indeed species perfect for starter growers then yes there are some types for newbies as well as the Aged Specimen is the type that can make a perfect gift for real bonsai enthusiasts.
As for the other types, the outdoor species are those types that can be placed outside of one's home like azaleas, boxwoods, most junipers and pines. Meanwhile, the deciduous trees are the type that lose their leaves in the fall but will grow back again in spring. Some of these types include ginkgo, maple, larch, apricot, crabapple and other elm species.
Taking care of the bonsai tree depends on their type. For indoor ones, these have to be brought outside, every morning to get at least four to six hours of sun exposure. They also have to be watered using a controlled amount of water so as not to rot the roots. For outdoor types, these should be protected against outside pests and animals, as well as being sheltered if needed to avoid too much cold temperature during winter.
As for the deciduous types, these have to be watered every other day and be treated with fertilizers every few weeks with little exposure to direct sunlight especially during winter months where the temperature is too cold.
Generally, these plants need to be transferred to another pot after a year or two, to trim the roots and allow the rest of the smallest ones to grow. It is important as well to place them in a container that has holes at the sides to let the excess water flow and to keep the soil properly hydrated. Keep the bonsai tree out of the sunlight in between its brightest hours, from 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Too much sun exposure can dehydrate the plant and eventually kill these trees. In essence, taking care of it involves the balance of light, heat, humidity, fertilizer and water supply. This is where it goes back to having the bonsai tree around as a symbol of balance, calmness and tranquility around the house.
