[IBC] Bonsai Texts Beginner v. Advanced
I don't think Bonsai Techniques I & II by John Naka are books for
beginners. I think beginners need more guidance in basic plant care. The articles at www.evergreengardenworks.com are good as are the articles in the "knowledge base" of the IBC website. (see below) If a book is desired visit the library or book store and look for a book that includes chapters on basic plant care, in containers, such as watering, fertilizer, etc. Recently a post requested information on starting a forest from some collected, seedling maples. This person's biggest problem for now will be keeping the seedlings alive and since they were planted in a community pot, separating them into individual pots to grow, rather than arranging a forest. Although the poster probably didn't want to read the above sentence, they need to realize that growing the plants comes first, creating the forest comes second. I know I think like the teacher I am but I think basic addition and subtraction should be mastered before the student tries Algebra.
