Bonsai making had been an art for and been practiced for millenniums in Japan. Today, this type of growth controlling had been considered as one of the best way to conserve trees. Nature lovers who does not posses big properties for trees always buy such for they are very convenient and does not eat big space. And since crape myrtle will grow bigger, many of the condominium owners are looking for mini crape myrtle for sale.
Get a full grown myrtle about twelve inches or more as long as its size is enough to be made into bonsai. After that, remove it into the pot carefully and make sure that the stem, roots and soil are still intact. If you accidentally detached the stem from its roots, then it cannot make a good bonsai and therefore you have wasted one potential.
Then you can now start removing the soil by using a strong spraying hose. This method is not just to remove the principal soil but also to soften those who cannot be removed by the flowing waters. For the remaining, use your hands to deal them and do it gently.
Cutting will be the next thing to do afterward. The roots must be fit to the pot or enough to meet your desired size of a bonsai. If you think that it is too big, then you can have minor mutilation of its main root. If you think that the branches are too high or too wide then you can also cut them off, after all it will recover after few weeks and transform into a miniature one.
Then, get a small pot and sphagnum moss for you to start the planting. Put an enough amount of moss under the pot. And gently wrap the roots of the plant with the same moss. Then put the plant into the pot and then insert the rest of the moss into the spaces. Press the moss very hard in order for the plant to hold still.
If you are not comfortable using the sphagnum moss, then you can use the soil for bonsai. It is made of half amount small stones and half amount of soil. Do the same process as how the moss is applied. But for this, you have to press it gently in order not to hurt the plant from its roots.
Controlled growth must be observed in maintaining a bonsai. This is to say that its branches must go sidewards and its stem must be twisted for you to control its height. By doing it, you have to cut off the branches exceeded not just on the top but also to the lower parts of the stem.
If you want your miniature plant to have a shape which is your favorite, then you can use small wires for this. Put the wire into the small branches and straighten it horizontally for the mean time. Then use a bigger wire for a shape pattern. Once you have the pattern, use it during your cutting and then cut the branches by following its shape from angles to angles.
Bonsai is an ideal gift for a close friend of yours for this will give him grace and happiness. A gift that is more personalized and something that is not perishable will be the most thoughtful gift a person will receive. But if you yourself cannot make such, then mini crape myrtle for sale can be a choice.
