Cheap Bonsai

what do i need for a bonsai tree?

I don’t know exactly what to buy or really anything about bonsai’s.
Where can I get cheap shears and what do they need,how much watering and maintenance?I like the junipers most.HELP!

Bonsai tools and shears can be purchased online or from any reputable garden center. You can spend anywhere from a few dollars to several hundred for quality tools.

The important thing to know about junipers is that they are outdoor trees. They require plenty of sunlight and a well draining soil. Keep them evenly moist, but not over saturated, and well fertilized to keep them healthy.

To help you get started in bonsai I would suggest looking for the nearest bonsai club. You can learn a lot from others in your area in regards to growing and training bonsai. Having others in your area is a big help when getting started.
