    Creating Your Bonsai - Pines

    Another popular variety of coniferous trees, the pines or pinus grow naturally in mountainous and hilly regions. They are considered for long years as one of the most popular species of classic bonsai, and are favored specifically for tray planting because they are easy to care and grow. The inexperienced hobbyists can even train it to grow healthy and vigorous.

    Nevertheless, pines are the species that grow according to certain patterns. The patterns involved here are dissimilar to that of the deciduous and the most common coniferous varieties. With this, it is so important for every beginner to learn even just the basics involved in the growth pattern of pine trees. Understanding these patterns will allow you to take care of your bonsai the best way possible.

    Speaking of care, pines should be kept outdoors especially during the summer, spring, and autumn for they need enough sunlight for them to grow vigorous and healthy. Note than an insufficient supply of sunlight will just allow the pines to grow with an extended needle. Dieback of branches may also result from this.

    When it comes to watering, which is but another important factor to note in tray planting, the pines should be treated with only little amount of water. This is due to the fact that pines, regardless of variety, naturally dislike a permanently wet soil. For this matter, it is often suggested that you use a fast drying medium of soil for the pines to grow best. Try to give your tree a minimal amount of water especially during the spring. This will reduced the growth of its needles, then keeping your tree small.

    The pines will also grow best when repotted. Note, however, that when doing this process, the roots of your bonsai is already developed. If you think it’s too early for the pines to be transferred to another pot because of the immature formation of its roots, wait for the full growth. When it comes, only employ a very free draining mix of soil, and make sure to leave just a bit of the old compost. Do not wash the roots, but only remove the soil that formed in compacts on it.
