    Steps in making Bonsai
    1. Prepare the tree
    2. Remove the tree and clean the roots
    3. Prepare the pot
    4. Pot the tree
    Prepare the Tree
    • Before starting a Bonsai tree, make sure the species
    you've chosen can live in your area - especially if you
    plan on having an outdoor tree. 
    • Indoor – ficus (dalakit), boxwood (bantolinao)
    • Outdoor – tamarind, bayabas, hamurawon, etc
    Remove the tree and clean the roots
    • Carefully remove the plant from its current pot,
    making sure not to break or tear its main stem. Most
    of the roots will be cut before the plant is re-potted
    into the Bonsai pot. Clean the roots using rakes,
    chopsticks, tweezers, and similar tools are helpful for
    this process.
    Prepare the Pot
    • Before placing the tree in the pot, ensure it has
    a base of fresh new soil.
    • At the bottom of your empty pot, add a layer
    of coarse-grain soil as a base. Then, add a
    finer, looser growing medium or soil. Use a soil
    that drains well. Leave a small amount of
    space at the top of your pot so that you can
    cover your tree's roots.
    Pot the Tree
    • Position the tree in your new pot in the desired orientation.
    Finish adding your fine, well-draining soil or growing
    medium to the pot, making sure to cover the tree's root
    system. If desired, you may add a final layer of moss or
    gravel. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, this can
    help hold the tree in place.
    Thank you!!!
    Bonsai is not a race, nor is it a
    destination.
    It is a never-ending journey.
    Bonsai is a living art.
