Twice as much fertilizer = twice as much good stuff for the tree.

The fastest way to increase ramification on your conifer is to fully defoliate at least once a year.

Pinching your trees makes them weak and although the Japanese have been practicing bonsai for centuries, they have no idea about proper horticultural practices! Instead you must fertilize the heck out of your trees and prune then like hedges!
Oh no you didn't! LOL.
The man himself will not reply so ...................... the best way to encourage growth and thicken trunks is to pinch at the first sign of life and keep the tree in a tiny container. Also, a realistic interpretation of a tree ensures that the tree is an exaggerated "S" shape and pads are very important. The goal is for your tree to look either like Princess Leah's hair or one of Byork's poodle hairstyles.

Well, they're not dead yet anyway.
Tip: if I tried it and killed the tree, it's only because I did it wrong.
YOU should totally give it a go!

You can repot, prune, and wire all in one session. Then prune some more in a month.

You only need to water your trees when the weeds in your pot are wilted

Newly acquired nursery stock that looks healthy and vigorous must be repoted immediately for the health of the tree.

Growing under the care of human so long, bonsai are sentient. All they need is love.

You need to get a newly acquired plant out of soil immediately for the plants health, even if keeping it in a can. Because somehow the plant is lush and green even though it's been growing in that horrible dirt for years.
