Facts And Trivia About The Bonsai Tree
While others refer to it as a dwarf plant, but the fact is that the bonsai tree literally means "potted plant" and that it first seen in China. Two words from the best bonsai book, with 'bon' that means dish and 'sai' that refers to tree or plant. This combination gives away the fact that the tray or container is considered to be the home for this little shrub.
The early types of this plant were first seen in Republic of China, more than a thousand years ago. And that taking care of these specimen trees in little pots has been regarded as a balance of expression of all elements in peace and harmony that is between heaven and earth. And owning one is well believed to bring peace and calmness to whoever has it. In fact, Buddhist monks are the first people to take good care and grow these plants inside their quiet monasteries. Then the image of having these potted plants changed when it reached Japan, as having one of these trees in the house has been associated with the well to do families, rich, Japanese elite. Then the plant was quickly associated as a symbol of fame, prestige and honor. They also buy some more of these trees aside from the ones that they have so they can showcase these plants on special events.
Bonsai tree types include indoor bonsai, outdoor species divided into evergreen trees like junipers and pines and deciduous trees like maples, ginko and elms to name a few. Indoor ones are great gifts for beginner growers. Varieties of this type from the bonsai book include serissa, fukien tea, sago palms, schefflera, aralias, brush cherry, gardenias, bougainvillea and money tree, among others. If there are species perfect for starters, Aged Specimen is the one that can make an excellent gift for bonsai enthusiasts.
On the other hand, outdoor species are those that can be placed outside of home like boxwoods, azaleas, most pines and junipers. The deciduous trees are the type that lose their leaves in the fall but will bud again in spring. Some of these types include larch, apricot, crabapple, ginkgo, maple and other elm species.
Do you know that taking care of the bonsai tree highly depends on their type? For the indoor ones, these species are needed to be taken out every morning to get six hours of sun exposure, as this would keep them healthy. It should also be known that these types have to be watered daily using a controlled amount of clean, fresh water so as not to weaken and rot the roots. For those outdoor varieties, these should be well protected against the presence of outside pests and animals, as well as being sheltered as required to really avoid too cold temperature during winter.
As for the deciduous ones, they have to be watered every other day and be given fertilizers every few weeks with little exposure to direct sunlight especially during winter months.
Generally, these plants need to be transferred to another pot after a year or two, to trim the roots and allow the rest of the smallest ones to grow. It is important as well to place them in a container that has holes at the sides to let the excess water flow and to keep the soil properly hydrated. Keep the bonsai tree out of the sunlight in between its brightest hours, from 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Too much sun exposure can dehydrate the plant and eventually kill these trees. In essence, taking care of it involves the balance of light, heat, humidity, fertilizer and water supply. This is where it goes back to having the bonsai tree around as a symbol of balance, calmness and tranquility around the house.
