These trees will make a GREAT Gift for Dad this Father's Day or a fantastic addition to your own collection. As always I will back these trees up 100% MONEY BACK.

The trees I have for sale have been imported, grown, potted, trimmed and trained by me in the BonsaiMark Greenhouse #1 located on the North Shore of Massachusetts. All have been chosen for their ease of growth and care and are suitable for the beginner/novice to professional bonsai artist.

This is a "turn key" bonsai package. Everything you need to help Dad get off to the perfect start with his new BONSAI TREE!

HOW TO KILL YOUR BONSAI!!!!!

Posted Oct-18-06 18:50:49 PDT

Here are some surefire ways to kill your BONSAI or houseplant:

1) Over Watering

The #1 killer of houseplants and BONSAI is over watering, which leads to root rot. Don't let your plants sit in water and don't automatically water all your houseplants on a schedule. Learn to know your bonsai and water when needed!

2) Improper Watering & Salt Buildup

Giving your bonsai just enough water so the soil gets wet but is never allowed to drain, can lead to salt buildup which can inhibit the growth of your houseplants. You may not notice it until you start to see whitish crust on the soil or sides of the pot. It is best to SOAK your trees rather than water from them top!

3) Low Humidity

Lack of humidity does in a great many indoor bonsai especially during the winter. You may first notice this as browing leaf tips. Humidity trays are a MUST. AND PLEASE DON'T TRY TO KEEP YOUR JUNIPER INDOORS!!

4) Insufficient Light

Bonsai that are not getting as much light as they need will tend look pale, rather than a healthy green and new growth is spindly, as it reaches for the sun. Find a good window and make sure your trees get a MINUMIM of 4 hours of sun.

5) Exposure to Drafts

Placing an indoor bonsai especially a tropical or blooming plant, near a frequently opened door to the outside or too close to a window with limited insulation will have the same effect as leaving the plant unprotected outside.

6) Exposure to Direct Heat

Placing your houseplant near a direct source of heat ,like a radiator or duct, will not only fry your plant, but also speed up dehydration. See also number 3!!

7) Ignoring Pest Problems

Indoor pests multiply quickly. There are no natural predators to keep them in check, so you have to be very diligent about checking for symptoms. Spider mites, aphids, mealy bugs and scale can cover a plant in days. If severe enough, the plant may never recover. Keep an organic pesticide such as NEEM available. Better to be safe rather than sorry.

8) Allow it to Become Pot Bound

When a bonsai outgrows its pot, the roots circle around inside the pot and start to restrict themselves. Pot bound plants often seem to dry out more quickly than normal, because the ratio of roots to soil is too large. Check to see if your bonsai trees roots need to be trimmed once a year

SHIMPAKU CUTTINGS!! YEE HAW

Posted Aug-29-06 18:34:59 PDT
A BIG SPECIAL THANKS goes out to a great customer and good friend, Rick Fields who answered the call in my quest for some SHIMPAKU cuttings!!
 
I was expecting a few "clippings". Instead, Rick showered me with almost a DOZEN outstanding, fully rooted pre bonsai specimens!!! These are top notch plants that will mature into top notch bonsai in a few years. As well as add a quality "cutting" tree or two so I can provide Shimpaku rooted cuttings in the future on Ebay at affordable prices.
 
It is people like Rick who embody the true spirit of friendship and helping people out when they can. For that I am forever thankful!!
 
Rest assured Rick, the PLANTS are all potted up and resting comfortably in the BONSAIMARK's Greenhouse # 2!!!
 
If there is anything I can do for you JUST ASK!
 
Ciao!

A Site Worth Visiting

Posted Aug-25-06 11:00:53 PDT Updated Aug-26-06 06:25:32 PDT

You owe it to yourself to visit http://www.btinternet.com/~colinlewis.bonsai/welcome.html if you haven't allready.

The pictures alone are breathtaking. The detailed articles are well worth absorbing into the gray matter between our ears. Simply put Colin is one of the best and we are so LUCKY Colin has taken up residence on this side of the Pond. I have been lucky enough to attend a couple of classes Colin taught and plan on doing more. If you are in the Boston area it is well worth your time and money to do so as well. A better teacher would be hard to find.
