The secret to bonsai is keeping the bonsai alive – Peter Chan
This remark might sound flippant to a person who has never had a bonsai tree, but in the end, that is a must in this hobby, and it is actually really easy to do.
Bonsai Tree Care is dependent on the climate you live in, and certain trees don’t do too well in the cold, while others don’t provide the greatest autumn colours in warmer climates, but bonsai generally require a deep thorough watering twice a week.
You need to look your tree over everyday to make sure that there are no signs of drought after a hot South African day, but also do not overwater, as overwatering and a pot that does not filter water out efficiently is a leading cause of bonsai death.
Many books on correct bonsai tree care are luckily available to the beginner, but we can advice you on the care of any tree you purchase from nursery our from Hennies Bonsai collection.
