Bonsai

Serves as both a photographic record of some of the more spectacular bonasi plants and a practical handbook for those who want to create successful bonsai themseles. The book features photographs taken at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, as well as unique examples culled from private collections from around the world. Also included are sections on the care of bonsai plants including how to recognise and buy the best examples, how to use and maintain the correct soil, light, temperature, humidity, watering and fertilizer requirements, how to grow from seed, choosing the right container to suit the plant and how to style, shape and prune the growing bonsai plant.
