As a beginner many first time growers think that all
bonsai trees are kept inside. This of course is not true but still possible if you buy the
right variety and you live in warmer climates.
If you want an indoor tree
you should buy trees specifically grown as indoor plants, such as a
Hawaiian umbrella tree,
ficus bonsai ,Brazilian rain tree or
fukien tea tree.
Two popular flowering bonsai trees are the
Hawaiian umbrella bonsai tree which has tiny umbrella shaped leaves that form a canopy and the
Brazilian rain tree which the leaves fold up at night and
has fragrant fuzzy white puff balls for flowers.

There are three basic shapes of trees -
Cascade, semi-cascade and raft style.
Cascade and semi-cascade plants are modeled after trees that
grow over water or on the sides of mountains. Semi-cascade do not lean
as far downward as the cascade style.
Raft style bonsai are those that are planted on their side and can
include many other styles such as sinuous, straight-line, and group
planting styles. These all give the illusion of a group of trees, but
are actually the branches planted on its side.

Bonsai tree sale: choosing and buying tips
As a beginner I started with a
juniper because they are easy to
care for and prune throughout the growing season. I first found a
Juniper bonsai tree that had a nice shape and was a good starter tree for a beginner,
like myself, it was a shimpaku and rated as easy to grow. You just pinch the needles off with your two
fingers.
After awhile I became more interested in indoor bonsai for beginners, especially the flowering bonsai
plants, because of the beauty of
their blossoms and I was quite interested in feng
shui and how this can relate to plants and trees.
Most people start off growing
a ficus or some other types of flowering bonsai trees because they have been given
one as a gift or they like the shape of the curved trunk and the
look of the bark.
Buying a bonsai and learning how to trim and take care of
the tree properly, was easier than I thought. The tree nursery that I
purchased mine from had an entire selection on easy to grow trees
for beginners. I am
now starting to take my own cuttings and learning how to grow my own
from the beginning, it was easier than starting with seeds.
I now
sell my bonsai trees at garage sales and to
other gardeners. Just because a tree is older or classified as one of a
kind that doesn't mean its harder to care for. Read more

Always buy bonsai trees offered for sale from a nursery that
specializes in shipping, growing and shaping miniature trees. Wallmart and other stores may sell them but you won't get the
quality of information about the trees. Shipping information is a
important detail when reviewing prices. You can always find a bonsai
tree sale but you should be more concerned with the quality, age and
type of bonsai tree that you want to grow.
When bonsai trees are made not grown(we say made because they are not naturally
shaped that way) there is always a favored viewing angle. Front,
back, left and right, this is important to remember when you have
them on display. They are miniature trees but in a bonsai style.
When you are shaping a tree ask yourself does this specimen look
like a full grown tree only in miniature.
The top view should enable you to see down
through the foliage to make sure the branches are not covering each
other completely and it should also have a few roots showing. Proper
pruning, cutting and potting is essential for healthy tree
development.
I recommend that you get an instructional video or book about
bonsai trees if you are new at it. Bonsai trees are excellent gifts
to give someone moving into a new home as a house warming gift, retirement or
Christmas gift for people that love gardening and
small ornamental trees.
