Since bonsai trees have been proven to be a favorite fascination of so many people all over the world, more and more people are now starting to plant their own bonsai trees into seedlings. And more and more landscapists as well are now starting to incorporate bonsai trees in high-traffic venues such as the doctors’ waiting rooms. Here are some of the steps you will need to follow in order to successfully grow some bonsai seeds into bonsai trees.
Step #1
Gather bonsai seeds that are already mature for planting. If you happen to be collecting seeds from a fruit tree, make sure that you will immediately plant them. If not, you may just keep them in any dark and dry place in the doctors’ waiting room. Just make it a point that the bonsai seeds you are planting will certainly get some good ventilation. Moreover, you may also decide to just cultivate your seeds immediately; however, if you decide to do so, make sure you do not forget to make use of an environmentally safe plastic bag when planting them in the doctors’ waiting rooms.
Step# 2
Keep your seeds refrigerated for about a week before planting them. Soak the bonsai seeds in water the night prior to your scheduled planting day. You will notice that the seeds which seem to be the ripest are the ones that are going to sink down into the bottom. And these ripe ones are actually the ones you are going to plant.
Step #3
Choose a container where you can plant your bonsai seeds in. And remember, do not choose a small container to plant your bonsai seeds in as you will have no choice later on but to keep re-potting them instead as they continue to grow into bonsai seedlings and eventually into bonsai trees. Put some lining on your container or you may also use plastic if you do not have the lining papers. Make sure that there is certainly a way for the water to be going out of the container and then totally drained from your container.
Step # 4
You should put into your container one layer of sand. First, make sure you will cover the sand you have gathered with the type of potting soil that is rich. You will have to choose it by checking which soils in your outdoor areas seem to be rich in nutrients. Doing so will guarantee you that the bonsai trees you will be putting in the doctors’ waiting room are gong to grow healthy and beautiful.
Step# 5
Start digging some holes, the small ones simply by digging your finger deep down into the soil. After which you can then throw the bonsai seeds that you will be planting into the soil. After which, you may add another layer of soil to cover the top of the bonsai seeds.
Step# 6
In the doctors’ waiting room, find a place that is dark and dry. Then put your containers there after checking for some good ventilation as well. Find a spray bottle then to water your bonsai seeds with mists of water, dampening the soil after which you should transfer them to a place in the waiting room where they can be reached by direct sunlight. After a month, you will be surprised to see how beautiful your bonsai seeds are turning out.
