Little Known Gardening Facts....

What type of plant food should I use on my bonsai tree?
How you fertilize and soil your bonsai tree is entirely up to you. Some bonsai growers elect to use only organic fertilizers whereas others rely on chemical fertilizers. The one constant is the soil composition.

In order for the drainage to properly occur you must have inorganic material that allows the water to flow through the soil and out through the properly ventilated bottom. You can use a variety of materials ranging from clay pellets to shale.

What is the history of bonsai trees?
Historians believe that the bonsai tree came to us from the Han Dynasty when people wanted small trees to decorate their houses and their gardens. This was courtesy of the Chinese people. Later the Japanese began to use the trees during the Tokugawa period to landscape their property and began to use a variety of trees in their plantings.

These were not dwarf plants rather they were regular trees used to make the bonsai tree through careful pruning and potting. Special containers and skills were needed so it became a pastime of the wealthier and was a mark of the nobility to have landscapes that featured these special living art pieces.
