Bonsai
Here are the three guides to Easy Bonsai Care whether you keep your tree Indoors
or Out.
1. SOAK THOROUGHLY
(1 - 3 times a week)
2. MIST DAILY
3. BRIGHT INDIRECT SUNLIGHT
If you follow these
suggestions, your tree will remain healthy. But the time will come when you'll
want to prune the new growth, when you'll want to feed the tree. Perhaps a year
or so down the road you'll want to know about root pruning or transplanting.If
you would like to learn more about Bonsai, ask your local nursery if they carry
books and magazines on Bonsai. |

A bit of Flower History
|
If
you decide to give the gift of flowers, it will mean so much more if you're familiar
with some of the meanings behind them. Imagine giving a bouquet of purple irises,
crocuses, and ivy to your special someone on Valentine's Day, and being able to
share that this was a traditional bouquet given on this day in Medieval times
because the iris meant "heat aflame," the crocus, "joy," and
the ivy ensured the recipient was wanted "above all others." A red carnation
was delivered to a loved one who was absent, and snowdrops sent a message of the
desire to rekindle an old romance. |
