Tending to flowers and other plants is a good hobby to have. But that doesn’t make it simple in any way. When taking care of plants you have to make sure that you are fertilizing them enough and supplying them with the needed attention that will keep them alive and healthy for dozens of years.

The most pretty and most unusual plant is the bonsai tree. It is also one of the most delicate to produce and take care for. This is because it necessitates that you water it the right way, pot it correctly, and prune it properly so as to attain the preferred look of the tree you are working hard to care for.

There are two different types of bonsai trees. Neither one of these include the silk bonsai tree. This is really a fake bonsai. While these are beautiful to look at they only demand a light dusting to keep them looking exceptional. The two types of bonsai trees include; temperate and tropical.

A tropical bonsai tree does not have the ability to adjust to its environments if those environment are at freezing temperatures. Because of this it is imperative that you keep them well protected when there is a frost. Temperate bonsai trees are able to hold out in freezing temperatures because they have a shallow root system. They might still demand some type of protection from the cold. When taking care of bonsai trees that are temperate you will want to place them in a dormancy period.

Most bonsai trees should be kept outdoors with only a few days separated throughout the week where they are allowed to be situated inside of the home. In the home make sure they are still receiving the proper amount of light and water to keep them healthy.

During the cold winter months you should bring your tropical bonsai trees inside and keep them close to a window that catches a lot of sunshine. Make sure that you still continue to water them as necessary. Both of these types of bonsai tree require a lot of care that will keep them alive and looking pretty.
