How to grow a bonsai tree, and make it live forever
for larger branches, which leave a smooth, indented surface that the tree can easily heal from. The general rule is to prune no more than a third of a healthy tree’s foliage at a time—taking more will ultimately hurt the plant.If your bonsai tree isn’t the desired size yet, you’ll need to put it on a regular feeding schedule. Fully-grown bonsai require fertilizer, too, but not as frequently.
Schrader explains you can use either organic or mineral fertilizer—or a combination of the two. He recommends applying a tablespoon of organic fertilizer or a “dose” of liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks.As a beginner, you might be content to let your bonsai do its own thing, shaping it through pruning. Once you graduate into an advanced bonsai artist, you’ll want to use wiring.
“There are a couple of tools for creating shape,” explains Schrader. “You can remove things, and you can move things. Wire is used to create shape and move branches from one place to another.” Essentially, you wrap branches in wire, then bend and reposition them, encouraging them to grow in certain directions. Anodized aluminum wire is recommended for beginners because it’s easy to work with, and you can wrap branches in water-soaked raffia fiber before wiring if you’re nervous about damaging them.
