Well…I gotta tell ya that the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Bonsai trees is The Karate Kid. And when I think of the Karate Kid I think of Dingelbury. Dingelbury makes me think of SunChips, Oreos, and whores. And now I’m hungry for some ho ho’s and smores.
Orion is fine. It’s the winter constellation. You love winter, so it’s a good fit. I found this on the web: If this is your first tree or you are thinking of taking up this hobby, there is a popular bonsai book called the Indoor Bonsai by Paul Lesneiwicz. It offers ideas and instruction on how to care for the indoor plant, since most people purchase this type of tree for inside. It is thorough and easy to understand, so is good for beginners. It also has a lot of photos and which trimming tools to use, which helps when you are learning as well. There are others available as well, by Sunset Books, Simon and Shuster, Amy Liang, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, by Craig Coussins, and more.
These are my tips:
1. Plant the tree in an ultramarine blue pot.
2. Take the tree to the nursery when it starts to die and they’ll fix it for you. It’s like a tree hospital.
3. If the people who sell you the tree say, “It’s so hardy that you can beat it with a bat” don’t test the theory out on your own tree.
4. I used to tell my husband. “WHEN THIS TREE DIES, OUR LOVE DIES.” and our love slooooowly did die. Now it’s DEAD DEAD DEAD.
outdoor trees are much easier to take care of.
If you have to buy an indoor one put it in a light spot but away from heat like a radiator or direct sunlight on a windowsill.
Chopsticks can be pushed into the soil to check the moisture. If it comes out dry it needs water
You may call it Orion, yes. Tip one, don’t ever talk about how small and cute it is, at least not in front of it. These Bonsai trees have a fairly low self esteem and that kind of garbage talk won’t help it one bit. Tip two, do not eat your Bonsai tree.
despite what you may have seen on television DO NOT plant your bonsai half way up a steep cliff on the shoreline. Even if your ab-sailing skills are good its still a bad idea, Orion is OK
