Even if you already own one bonsai tree, you might want to add a few more to create a bonsai garden in a few easy steps. This is the way to quickly start a garden created especially with your plants and personal style in mind.
One of the most visually appealing bonsai garden types is the rock garden. The plants are secured underneath beautiful rocks, and the amount of water and care you give your trees will determine how long the garden will last. For this type of setting you should choose plants that have strong roots and small leaves. To start off a rock bonsai garden, many folks pick a Ficus or an Oriental Bittersweet plant, which are available at many plant stores.
After choosing your desired botanical specimen, begin incorporating rocks into the dirt. The best place to look for rocks would be construction sites, or you can purchase a bag from the hardware store. The rocks you choose should be hard and strong, to ensure your tree gets the proper shape. You will also need to choose rocks that are somewhat damaged because you will want to put dirt and water in between the ridges. With this method you are giving the impression that the tree has grown right out of the rock, an interesting method of growth for the average garden or living space.
You may choose to start a bonsai garden with container plants you already own. Rock fountains or other decorative items like pillars will help show off the bonsai garden. Depending on the amount of space you have, you may also opt to create a man-made pond in the middle of your garden.
It is also ideal to have several types of trees in the garden. You can choose a tiny pine tree to be a part of the decorations, along with a cherry tree that has blossomed and grown cherries. When decorating, utilize the fact that different bonsai trees can be paired together, even if they don’t normally coexist in the same environments.
