Bonsai trees breed and care for
Bonsai trees have been bred for more than a thousand years. The gardening, miniature trees and shrubs in small vessels to draw and maintain, originated in China and was known in the past under the name Penjing.

Since bonsai trees are planted in small shells, regular fertilization is of great importance. The fertilizer may be especially suitable for bonsai plants. But you can also use a popular fertilizer – mineral or organic, liquid or solid. The type of fertilizer does not play a significant role. Follow the instructions for use and make sure that the winter is a rest period for the bonsai (as well as for most plants). During this time, the bonsai needs less water and fertilizer.

Bonsai care – repotting
A bonsai tree needs to be repotted about every two years. Of course, that depends on the type and size of the tree.
