The Best Tips for Growing Your Juniper Bonsai Tree – Part II

Posted by admin on Jul 4, 2010 in Uncategorized

In the previous article we touched on the bonsai care subjects of watering, fertilizing, and the appropriate levels of humidity and sunlight essential to keep your juniper vibrant. In this Part II we will go over the matters of re-potting, pruning, caring for your juniper through the winter, and bug control.

Pruning Your Juniper Bonsai

Always in the springtime, and then perhaps once again in the fall, buds (brand new growth) will form on the tips of the juniper bonsai tree branches. When you observe this new growth you must get rid of the buds by pinching them off. If left on, the branches on the tree will develop fast growing shoots and the tree is going to look disheveled. You shouldn’t begin the process of pinching the buds until at least four weeks after the new growth very first appears in late spring. Older more mature foliage also needs to be taken off in the spring. This will reduce the amount of inner growth and allow the sun to pass through without difficulty and more air to circulate. Whenever you notice fresh growth in the course of the usual growing season of summer you should also pinch it off. This will always keep the plant looking tidy and will help to maintain it’s proper shape.

Your juniper bonsai won’t be hurt, at all, from this pinching of new growth. Pinching is, in reality, the way by which you are going to miniaturize and shape your juniper to become and stay a bonsai.

Re-potting Your Juniper Bonsai

Young junipers, those less than five years old, will really benefit from being re-potted every second year. And once they get to 5 to 6 years of age they should then only be re-potted every 3rd year. A free-draining soil mixture must be used. The best times for repotting junipers are in the early spring and autumn. If you see that your juniper is suffering from root rot while you are repotting you’ll need to cut off all of the impacted roots, then re-pot using only sphagnum moss as opposed to soil. Let it grow in the moss for a full year after which re-pot into good, free-draining soil. When you’ve completed re-potting your plant you need to water it very thoroughly. Then keep the tree in a shady location until the roots have recovered.

Root Pruning

Dependant upon how old your juniper bonsai is you will need to re-pot it every 2-5 years. This is actually the very best time for you to prune the plants roots and keeping it from being root-bound. Very carefully remove the tree from it’s pot, and after that clear away some of the soil from around the rootball. It will be safe to trim off about 1/3 of the juniper’s roots. Immediately after pruning the roots, put the plant back in it’s pot in a mixture of potting soil and sand in a 3:1 proportion. Let it soak in a solution of transplant shock supplement, and spray with water a couple of times daily for 2 weeks.

Keeping Pests Under Control

Spider mites can cause substantial harm to junipers, and are notably bad indoors (which is yet another valid reason to keep them outdoors). Develop a regimen to spray for pesky insects no less than once per month with any kind of insecticide suitable for your household plants and designed to kill spider mites. Be sure you spray other close-by plants at the same time that might also be home to the spider mites.

How to Care for Your Juniper in Winter

Your juniper tree will need a rest period during winter so as to continue to be healthy, and for that reason it should be kept in a location where the temperature will not exceed 60F degrees throughout the winter. If you keep your juniper outside the house ensure that you guard it from severe drying winds. This can be accomplished by working with cold frames, window wells, enclosed unheated rooms, or mulch beds.

Your juniper bonsai tree does best when it has a “winter” in order to complete it’s natural cycle. Place it in a cool place in the winter, the colder the better. A freeze followed by an abrupt and quick rise in temperature will hurt your bonsai. Which means you could well be doing your plant much more harm than good by bringing it inside soon after it’s been subjected to freezing temperatures. The freeze alone won’t cause harm to your juniper. When the temperature remains below 50F during the wintertime your juniper bonsai will only need indirect light. And, if the temperatures stay below 50F degrees over the winter then the plant will not require much water.

If you don’t have a shed or a basement or another cold location to reproduce winter, and so you have to keep your juniper in the house, attempt to keep it somewhere where it is out of direct sunlight. During winter, continuing to keep your juniper’s foliage moist is very important should you be growing it indoors. It should be sprayed with a mister once or twice per day.

Bonsai ? What is the Best Bonsai Tree Selection?

Posted by admin on Jun 5, 2010 in Uncategorized

bonsai trees

Bonsai in America are much freer in concept and style than Japanese bonsai.  Americans have taken oriental styles and applied them to plants never grown by the Japanese.  Rigid procedures used by the Japanese are not used in American bonsai.

Bonsai trees for sale can be found in a wide selection of dwarf and semi-dwarf varieties.  Bonsai tree types can be applied to houseplants if bonsai design concepts are used.

Bonsai Trees and Shrubs

Bonsai nurseries have a wide selection of dwarf and semi-dwarf bonsai plants for sale.  These do not always convey the same impression as their full size twins because the growth habits are quite different.

Indoor Bonsai Trees

There are woody plants (native to the tropics and sub-tropics of the world) that can be grown as indoor bonsai trees.  By combining traditional procedures for handling houseplants with bonsai tree design, growers have created different bonsai styles.

Where Can I Buy a Bonsai Tree?

Plants that are native to the area where you live often make great beginner bonsai trees.  There are many common bonsai plants that are old favorites because of their classic good looks.  These can be found at bonsai nurseries.

Bonsai Seeds and Bonsai Plants

Bonsai can be collected from the wild or seeds taken from plants in your garden.  If a plant is taken from the wild, between March and April, at least a year must pass before it can be placed in a bonsai pot.  If you buy a bonsai tree from Japan, do so during their dormant period.  The best method is to buy stock from a bonsai nursery.

1)  Look for plants that are well rooted and branched.

2)  Inspect the overall plant.  Examine the foliage and base.

3)  Do not purchase a bonsai plant that cannot be easily transplanted to a bonsai pot.

By following the above information you can make a wise bonsai tree selection and enjoy the grace of a bonsai tree for your home.
