Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Zen Reflections Juniper Bonsai
Customer Review: Bonsai is a Japanese term meaning "tree in a tray"
Summary: 5 Stars
The Juniper Bonsai is the very definition of what bonsai should be: A classic shape, long-lived, and easy to take care...making it ideal for the beginner bonsai hobbyist. Originating in China, the Juniper has low, compact foliage spread with cascade and semi-cascade styles...coupled with hard resinous wood makes the Juniper one of the best loved for advanced sculptural techniques.
Bonsai require a great deal of sun light and do best outdoors, but can be kept indoors if in a well sun-lit area. If you do keep it outside, the Juniper does well in almost all conditions except freezing and extremely hot climates. Since the bonsai live in small pots, watering is very important...this is usually the reason why most bonsai die...so check it everyday. An ideal balance can be tricky to determine, but the general rule of thumb is placing the entire pot in a sink of water an inch or two deep and let the water absorb from the holes in the bottom of the pot. After watering, allow the bonsai a few days to breath and repeat. Misting is also strongly recommended to keep the foliage green and healthy.
Fertilizing your bonsai is also very important. Spring is when the bonsai begins its growth cycle and requires a balanced fertilizer with nitrogen...after the summer season, the bonsai begins to slow its growth and fertilizing should be reduced to every four to six weeks...in the winter, the bonsai is in a dormant stage and requires a non-nitrogen fertilizer. Following these steps will keep your bonsai's root system healthy and active...a vitamin supplement is an excellent compliment to fertilizers. Pruning a bonsai is difficult to master but very rewarding...I would recommend reading several books on this topic to learn about the different styles...removing new shoots and unwanted branches during the growing season is the basics...if you're not interested in the art of bonsai.
Description of Zen Reflections Juniper Bonsai
The term 'bonsai' literally translated from Japanese means tray planting or tree in pot. The term refers specifically to the training and artistic vision applied to the tree; ultimately this will give the illusion of an aged miniature tree in nature. It is more than just a little tree, it is an attempt to represent nature itself in a small pot. Translated as potted tree, bonsai trees are the attempt to represent larger natural tree forms in a diminutive scale. In this case we have chosen a hearty 3 year old juniper for its long trailing brances, which are easy to train into many fantastic bonsai styles. Delivered in a beautiful 8" glazed clay earth/water pot that is complimented by Japanese suiseki balance stones and a miniature fisherman.Kitchen and Housewares
