4. What are the good qualities of a bonsai? look like a tree, a bonsai should have the following characteristics of a tree –1) it should have a tapering trunk line;2) an abundance of branches reaching out in all directions; 3) a good spread of roots emerging from the base at the level of the soil disappearing into the soil gradually so as to denote stability and agedness; 4) a tree as natural looking as possible with reference to its species; and 5) a pot which is in aesthetic and visual proportion to the tree, neither too big nor too small, both together forming a harmonious unity.

5. There are things which are to be avoided in a bonsai design:- Branches should not cross each other. They should not face in the direction of the front, i.e., the best viewing side of the bonsai. Branches should not emerge from opposite sides of the trunk from exactly the same point on the trunk (called Bar branches). Taper should be uniform, i.e., there should not be any reverse taper. Extreme distortion of trunk or branches is deemed to be unnatural and therefore avoided.

6. is a Japanese art form using trees grown in containers. BON means TREE SAI means POT WHAT IS BONSAI? The word “Bon-sai” (often misspelled as bonzai or banzai) is a Japanese term which, literally translated, means “planted in a container”.

It does not become a Bonsai until these two are combined and form a harmony together. A large part of the art of Bonsai is the experience of a tree that has become detached from its ground and now lives in a pot. They may be made out of ceramic, concrete, plastics and certain metals (metals may release toxins) and one can make their own pots. But what is considered a classic Bonsai pot is that it is made of ceramic or porcelain, and that it is stoneware burned, which means that it absorbs and holds no water in the material.

8. Plastic pots are a good substitute for ceramic pots especially for trees in training. Not only are they cheaper than ceramic pots but they are durable and almost unbreakable. All About The Style Bonsai pots come in many shapes and sizes. Almost all of them, however, have drainage holes so excess water can easily drain out. (If your bonsai pot doesn't have drainage holes, drilling one or two will make it much easier to care for your trees. Ideally, the length of the pot should be about two-thirds the height of the tree. If the height of the bonsai tree is shorter than its width, the length of the pot should be about two-thirds the width. On both sides, the width of the pot should be a bit smaller than the spread of the longest branches.

9. SOIL MEDIUM The most common components for Bonsai soil mixtures are Akadama, Pumice, Lava rock, organic potting compost, and fine gravel also known as grit. From left to right; organic potting compost, Akadama, Pumice, and lava rock. We recommend using 33% Lava Rock, 33% Pumice, and 33% Akadama in your mix for drainage and aeration. use 100% perlite or 100% scoria (lava rock) for most of my pre-bonsai. I've also used mixes that are 60-80% pumice with the remainder an organic-rich mulch or bark.

EVALUATE IF REPOTTING IS NECESSARY; IN THIS CASE, IT IS, AS THE ROOTS ARE CIRCLING AROUND THE INSIDE OF THE POT. USING A CHOPSTICK, CAREFULLY REMOVE THE OLD SOIL, START ON THE SIDES AND BOTTOM OF THE TREE. TRY TO AVOID DAMAGING ROOTS IN THE PROCESS. WHEN REPOTTING PINES, LEAVE AT LEAST HALF THE ROOT MASS UNTOUCHED TO PROTECT THE MYCORRHIZAL FUNGUS WHICH IS ESSENTIAL FOR TRESS SURVUVAL USING SCISSORS, CUT AWAY ANY ROOTS THAT GROWN TOO LONG ADD A THIN LAYER OF HEAVY GRAIN SOIL FIRST, LIKE LAVA ROCK, GRIT AND AKADAMA, WHICH SERVE AS DRAINAGE LAYER.

Our Services Feronica Services FORMAL UPRIGHT The bonsai of this style are reminiscent of trees growing in nature in an open location without stress. The trunk line is vertical with the apex located over the center of the trunk base, and must taper from base to apex .

17. The informal upright style is common in both nature and in the art of Bonsai. The trunk grows upright roughly in the shape of a letter 'S' and at every turn branching occurs. Tapering of the trunk must be clearly visible, with the base of the trunk thicker than the higher portion. INFORMAL UPRIGHT

18. BROOM The broom style is suited for deciduous trees with extensive, fine branching. The trunk is straight and upright and does not continue to the top of the tree; it branches out in all directions at about 1/3 the height of the tree.

19. SLANTING Slanted style trees often provide a powerful impression of strength and age. In the slanting bonsai style, the trunk has a more acute angle than in the previous styles. The top of the tree is bent slightly toward the front. The lowest branch should spread in the direction opposite that in which the tree slants.

20. SEMI CASCADE The semi-cascade style displays a tree trunk that is allowed to grow straight for a certain distance and then is cascaded down at a less abrupt angle than in the cascade style.

This style is often thought to be the most difficult to achieve. In modern bonsai, literati is used as a term to describe bonsai with a particular style and aesthetic. The modern literati style is known to encompass trees with a slender trunk, contorted branches, and minimal foliage mass. However, the original meaning of the term was not related to a particular style.
