Growing bonsai trees does not end on the first few days of training the plant to take on the form of a miniature tree. It is also important to keep it healthy and growing well. Bonsai trees can last for years when well-taken care of and can even be passed on and handed down from one family generation to another. In order to do carefully maintain the plant, you need to learn basic horticultural skills.
Basic horticultural knowledge involves knowing where to properly position your outdoor or indoor bonsai, how to feed it and the best way of watering it. You also need to learn how to prune the roots, leaves and branches as well as the proper way of periodically repotting the plant. These skills are important in order to maintain the shape of the plant and keep it healthy.

Your bonsai plant is different from any kind of plant. You have to carefully decide where to place your plant if you plan on keeping it outdoors. Generally, you should try to keep it out of direct sunlight but still see to it that the plant receives proper air circulation, correct amount of humidity while still easy to get to and access by you for regular maintenance.
You can readily tell if your bonsai likes or dislikes its location. Carefully observe changes or signs that it might be suffering in its location. Look out for burnt foliage, withering and discoloration and if you see of these signs, transfer the plant to a more fitting location as soon as possible. Also research about the origin and characteristics of your plant species to determine where you properly place it.
Try to mimic the natural environment which it used to grow. If it is a rainforest type of tree, place it somewhere that is partly shaded or under a shaded material which imitates the rainforest environment which it would suit best. You can also place your bonsai inside your home but make sure that you bring them out once in a while and give them special care and attention.
The frequency of watering your plant depends on a lot of factors. One is the local climate in your area and the location where you place your plant on. Excessive heat, dry and strong winds and sometimes, even a combination of both these factors can cause the soil to dry out quickly. In this case, you must regularly monitor moisture levels and keep your plants hydrated.
The type of plant will also determine the amount of water that you put on them. Some plants retain moisture more than others so make sure that you know the basic information about the tree species of your bonsai plant.
To maintain healthy growth for your plant, you should also do regular fertilizer feeding with the correct type of fertilizer. The soil must be frequently replenished since certain amounts of nutrients can be washed out with every watering. Ask the local experts or research on the internet about which type of fertilizer is best for your plants.
