TRAINING BONSAI
Learning the ancient art of transforming trees over many years to resemble something hundreds of years old, is a combination of understanding horticulture, art and having a healthy respect for Mother Nature’s own magic.

BONSAI ON A BUDGET
When first learning the basics of bonsai a lot of people aren’t prepared to spend too much money in case they are unable to keep their new purchase alive.
One way of increasing the number of bonsai in your collection without the upfront cost is to create trees of your own from cheaper bonsai starters, cuttings or even something you already have growing around the house.
Make Bonsai Trees of your own
Buying a ready made bonsai from a nursery or at a local market can be not only more expensive than it needs to be, but also not as rewarding as learning to make bonsai trees for yourself.
Bonsai is a Japanese word made up of 2 separate words, “bon” meaning tray or dish, and “sai” meaning tree or plant. It is the combination of these 2 elements that make up a true bonsai.
Putting any old tree into any old pot will usually not create the desired effect of bonsai, so choosing these 2 elements carefully will help create a better looking tree sooner.

FIG BONSAI
Fig or Ficus bonsai would have to be one of the most popular varieties the world over. Figs are so easy to train, handle harsh pruning and in the right climate and season, can grow at an alarming rate.
If you don’t already have a fig bonsai , I suggest you get one, they are a great tree for the bonsai beginner to the advanced grower and really are easy to care for.
HOW TO CARE FOR FIG BONSAI
Here is a general outline of how to care for fig bonsai.
DESCRIPTION:
There is literally thousands of ficus varieties, so it would take more than just one page to cover them all, but in general when it comes to fig bonsai the care is usually similar for all varieties.
From what I have discovered so far figs in general make great bonsai because of their natural tendency to be very forgiving when it comes to care so this makes growing fig bonsai easy.
