Acquiring & Caring For Bonsai
Most bonsai trees sold at garden centers and nurseries are of excellent quality, but there are a few points to bear in mind when buying a new plant.
- Age and shape of the tree
- General health
- Soil should be damp but not soggy, unless it has just been watered
- Leaves should look bright and healthy, not burnt around the edges or spotty
- If buying a deciduous tree in winter, last year’s growth should be smooth and plump, with no sign of bark wrinkling
- The tree should be steady in its container, which should have at least one drainage hole
- A white fungus in and around the drainage hole is natural and harmless
