Indoor gardening tips on buying house plants and bonsai trees

Each house plant and bonsai tree has unique needs as to light, temperature, and humidity. The best way to choose a plant for your house is to first decide on its future location. Study possible indoor locations by asking yourself these questions: Would a bonsai tree enhance this particular spot? How much light is available? What is the average temperature? Are there seasonal changes in light or temperature? How much humidity is present?

Some of us are impulse buyers, choosing a plant or tree for its colorful foliage or interesting flower and giving no thought to its growing needs. If this describes many of your plant purchases, try to find out as much about the plant as possible or from nursery personnel or the salesperson where you purchased it. Then find or adapt a location for it. Remember that impulse purchases will probably create more work for you and will not always prove successful.

• If you begin your shopping with the location of where it is going to go, firmly in mind and select a plant to fit. Of course its a little hard to do any of this if you are buying a bonsai tree online. The problem is local nurseries do not have a large selection of bonsai trees like the bonsiaboy of newyork does. If you need more color in a room select a flowering bonsai tree from this page. Juniper trees are better as a beginners bonsai tree.

Tips for Buying House Plants 

When you have an urge to buy a house plant, you need to consider two things: the plant itself and the shop or nursery where it's sold. Be choosy; don't settle for the first plant you see.

Finding a reputable house plant dealer is the first step. You may have good luck with bargain plants, but it's best to buy from a nursery, plant boutique, or florist shop where plants are given proper treatment.

Survey the general plant selection. Do most plants seem healthy and happy? Overall excellence of products usually signifies good merchandise and proper care of house plants.

Look at the plant itself. Does it look healthy? Is it free from leaf damage and pests? Is the color good? Does it have a pleasing shape? Is the leaf size consistent? Does it show any new growth? If the answer to all these questions is "Yes," your choice is probably a good one.

Check to see if the plant is pot-bound. If any plant roots are peeking through the drainage hole, the plant has been in that pot too long. It's best to choose a different one.

Choose a plant the size you want it. If you want a large house plant, don't buy a small version and wait for it to grow. It could take months or years. A larger plant that is better established should adapt to a new environment more readily.
