Bonsai Magazines

Bonsai plants are usually created from normal outside trees. However bonsai, as an art form, requires more then a tree in pot and you can start to acquire the skills you need by reading bonsai magazines. These magazines provide specialist bonsai knowledge that will help you to train and create bonsai.

Most people start by buying their first Bonsai.  While the bonsai is in the container, you would begin the bonsai process of cleaning off new branches growing out of the trunk, clipping off wild spears from the canopy, and just keeping the tree neat and orderly in appearance.

During this time, you are not training the tree but learning how to care for it, by reference to your Bonsai magazines, by keeping it properly trimmed to its miniature size.
