My Bonsai New Year Resolution

My New Year Bonsai Resolution:

# 1 - Don't cut & and than style the Tree. First Style the tree - design it on paper, sleep over it - and than cut is required the next day. The more day you can spend thinking about it, better.

# 2 - Style you plant in Big Pot, and only when the same is ready to be exhibited, repot & shift it to a smaller Tray. Remember, Bigger the pot, better the result.

# 3 - Nourish, Fertilize, Feed & Pesticide the plant on regular basis. Remember the plant can survive on nothing, but than what you will get in return is nothing.

# 4 - Have patience, the rome was not built in a Day. When you cut/wire the plant, pledge not to disturb the plant for next 3 months minimum after operation. Don't expect miracle.

# 5 - Take opinion of others, it matter for they are going to judge the plant, as you judge other plants.

# 6 - Go Local. Try all Local varieties of plant for Bonsai. No more Jade, Ficus varieties. Pledge.

# 7 - Do not invest in Pot before the plant is 3 years old. Invest in a Good plant instead. Remember, the value of plant will grow manifolds year after year, the value of pot will only diminish.
