What Bonsai Supplies Will I Need?
from: Andrew GreenGrowing Bonsai is a rewarding hobby that is accessible to all.
You hardly need any room at all and you've probably got most of
the tools already lying around the house and garden. The only
'specialist' equipment you may need to go and by will be a pair
of chopsticks (yes, you read that right), a Bonsai pot and of
course the tree or plant that you intend to turn into your
Bonsai masterpiece.
You will need a small pair of sharp scissors as well as a larger
pair. You will need wire to shape your branches and fine wire
cutters. A small set of garden shears and a large set of garden
shears just about completes the set however as you throw
yourself more and more into Bonsai (once you've got the bug
there will be no stopping you) you will probably want to
consider purchasing slightly more specialist Bonsai tools
including miniature Bonsai rakes and root combs. Don't panic
though, the price tag size matches the tool size and most are
very affordable.
Where can I get Bonsai supplies?
Bonsai is becoming increasingly popular around the world and no
matter where you live there is a good chance that you aren't too
far away from a Bonsai shop. Many garden centres and nurseries
now also stock the tools you need and if you're still struggling
or if you like to shop from the comfort of your own home the
Internet is literally awash with suppliers of everything you
could need from compost to rakes with everything in between.
My best word of advice here is to find out exactly what you want
and then shop around. Visit your local stores and have a look on
the Internet. Always try to build up a relationship with
whomever you are buying from in case you ever need that vital
piece of advice that can mean the difference between a small,
brown conifer and a beautiful Bonsai masterpiece.
As well as the essential tools and specific Bonsai equipment and
compost you can buy decorative figurines, ornate pots and just
about any other addition you could possibly imagine. The
Internet provides you with the world's largest marketplace for
any items you may want so you aren't at all restricted to the
items you can buy at your local plant store so whether your
needs are for manufactured, good quality and affordable
equipment to hand thrown pots you will have no problem finding
what you are looking for.
