Bonsai Basics

Informed by his longtime interest in growing bonsai, SGC member Chris Little will focus on choosing and caring for tropical bonsai species that can be kept indoors year-round. Additionally, he will touch on pot and tray selection, drainage, and soil mix, as well as methods of wiring plants to shape. Chris’s theme of approachable bonsai will emphasis the idea that a person need not to be an expert to create excellent bonsai specimens.
