Indoor Bonsai

I love this book. Simply paging through the gorgeous color photos is a treat - I dream about all the types of bonsai I could care for, shaping into lovely forms. There are step by step details about growing a bonsai from seed, training the branches to grow, fertilizing the soil, handling vacations.

For each type of plant there are details on how to set up the temperature, watering, fertilizing, sunlight,and much more so that the particular plant type flourishes.

There are drawings and photos of how the bonsai change over the years so you can get a sense of what to expect

The book goes into common issues a new bonsai owner might face - listless leaves, mushy roots - and explains how to deal with the issues.

Well recommended!
