O. K. you have got the idea that Bonsai is all about miniature trees, but you're clueless about “Shakan - Chokkan - Moyogi"? Don't panic, you don't need to know the proper names of styles or tree species, such as Bonsai Juniper or Bonsai Japanese Maple. All you need in the beginning is the desire to want to grow a bonsai plant and some basic knowledge.
To get started in the fascinating art of bonsai gardening, you will require some basic gardening skills, a few elementary tools and supplies, a healthy dose of common sense and a little artistic flair.
If you have grown some plants in pots before - and have managed to keep them alive, healthy and looking good, then you already have the pre-requisite skills for bonsai gardening. Apart from the actual techniques for keeping the plant compact, there really is not that much more to it!
Of course there have been volumes written about those techniques, so much so that you could fill a small library. But they are not ALL necessary to achieve an enviable result for your bonsai masterpiece.
When you first begin, the immediate challenge is just to keep your bonsai tree alive and still looking like a tree! In this you will probably have mixed success. But don't despair if you unintentionally murder a tree or two, you wont be the first and you wont be the last to have done that.
Over time and with trial and error you will get the hang of it. And along the way you will have great joy and satisfaction at being the co-creator of such an amazing and beautiful living thing. It really can at times make your heart sing!
Yes there are things you need to learn. But don't try and know everything all at once, just start with the basics and take one step at a time.
Begin with an easy to grow plant such as bonsai juniper. Then learn one or two things about bonsai care (watering would be preferable first up) and put those couple of things into practice until you feel comfortable that you know what to do, and then move on to the next one or two skills. . . . and so on.
Before you know it you will be the one others ask for advice on growing bonsai plants.
