The Lorax said “Speak for the trees.” We said “ok but make it tiny and in a pot.” 😌

Did you know that the largest seasons of growth for your bonsai tree are in the Spring and Summer? This is what makes this time of year perfect to give your tree a trim! 🍃

Here are some tips:
- Focus on creating a round shape with the canopy
- Keep that tree skirt nice and short
- Trim the branch about 1-2mm above the leaf you want to keep
- Avoid trimming off more than 1/3 of the total green to make sure you don’t risk harming your tree
- If you got your tree from Bonsai Bai Me, it is an indoor tree, so keep it inside but make sure it gets at least 4 hours of hot direct sunlight each day! And water it enough to keep that soil from drying out so it always stays moist!

One of the most beautiful aspects of the art of Bonsai is the endless amount of life lessons it quietly teaches us, such as…

“Beautiful things often take time and patience to grow.”

As we have explored this hobby ourselves we have often felt frustration that a tree we’re working on doesn’t already look closer to our final vision after just a little bit of shaping.

But that same tree often quietly whispers to us that it just needs a little time because tucked within its tiny frame is the potential to become as beautiful as any other bonsai tree. All it takes is a little patience.

So Bonsai is here to gently remind us to trust the process, give it time and give yourself some grace. You’ll get there eventually. 🌳

Spring has sprung! 🌼 Do you know what that means?  It’s peak tree-trimming season! So if you haven’t trimmed your tree in a few months and you have lots of growth, here’s a quick refresher:

⁃Trimming your tree actually helps encourage NEW growth and stay full as it grows!

⁃You want to trim back the long branches to where they fit within the overall ROUNDED top or shape you are trying to achieve! (I like to envision a round bubble surrounding my tree and then shrink it to where I want the round shape to be and trim anything sticking out of my bubble!)

⁃Identify the leaf you want to keep on the branch you are trimming and then snip the branch about 1-2mm above those leaves.

⁃Try not to trim more than 1/3 of the total foliage of your tree.

We hope these tips helps you get started! We’ll be sharing more trimming tips in the coming days so keep an eye out for those :) Happy Spring!
