   submerge the pot in water till u see no bubbles left seeping out of the soil. it may take a while then leave it outside.. its ok though to bring it inside for a show-case but its an out door plant.

   also if ur not sure u may not watered the Juniper properly stick ur finger in the soil about an inch”. feel if its moisted, if not water it or the thing that helps me most is i baught a moister reader..

   pruning the leafs or twigs.. so that the they’ll bud-back closer to the trunk and become more dence., the dence foliage u get the smaller the leafs get..

   I think you could set it outdoors in a place where it gets both shadow and sun, it’s very important that your tree don’t dry out.

   For Junipers the whole “Water daily” does not really apply right? Arent you supposed to let the soil dry out slightly, and to moisten the soil when watering it? These Elms and shit are different right?

13. kami3233 - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    no bonsai is an artform. so that it stays small. i just found out from another of their videos.

14. andrewtheguitarist - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    Is bonsai a type of tree? Or do humans grow the seed in a special way that it becomes dwarfed. Thanks.

15. 808hi808 - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    yes, it will grow apples. they will be the normal size apples so make sure the branches that are producing them can withstand the weight of the apple..
    good luck!

16. GaaraFan100 - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    I am currently growing a bonzia Apple tree. And I have two questions. Will the tree produce apples (my younger sister is dieing to know) and I’m going it outside, will i need to bring it inside durning the winter. We have winter for 2 months but it normaly gets 0 celsius.

17. GnAgricola - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    i believe it is a chinese elm

18. OliverGrayhound - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    thanks

19. HigherPlanes - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    Depends on the species and how much sunlight is available. I water my juniper, boxwood and ficus every other day in the summertime, and every 4 days in the winter. Ficus goes indoor in the winter months.

20. HigherPlanes - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    I believe that back-budding involves pruning most of the leaves from a branch, with the exception of two or three at the tip, which promotes new leaves or bud growth further down on the branch.

21. HigherPlanes - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    Maybe Kingsville Boxwood or Japanese Boxwood.

22. beachnikk - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    It would be nice if these were place in order e.g. part 1 of 5

23. OliverGrayhound - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    how many times should you water a bonsai, and how many hours of sunlight?
    im new at this, so i dont know a lot, but also do the little figures disrupt the bonsai by any chance?

24. t3hsniper - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    what’s the one in the very middle called…looks nice…

25. drushtvo - January 28th, 2009 at 10:30 pm

    Yes, let the top become visibly dryer (note: dryEr don’t let it dry out COMPLETELY) before watering. If you keep it too wet, the roots will rot out and the tree will die.
    Also note that a short period of overwatering will not harm your tree, but if you keep at it you’ll slowly kill it.
    Remember to keep outdoor trees outdoors because symptoms also do not show immediately.
