1 x giant redwood

Younger plants are in plant pots others in bonsai training pots.

Indoor:

Chinese elm

Ginseng

I live in southern england and was just wondering if anyone had any general advice with regard to these species or any advice for a beginner to bonsai.

As a beginner, do not buy 10 different species - indoor, outdoor, deciduous and evergreens, as they all have different requirements.

For the 1/2 year old plants: Plant them in full soil and let them grow for several years. Meanwhile, start studying. For every species care guidelines can be found. Start with the 'basics' on this page, then go through the species guides.

Focus on keeping them alive and healthy, next on growing a trunk first. How to do this can be found on this site as well.

What? no pictures

I wonder where in southern England you live? There are a number of clubs and if you are serious then joining a club is the best way to gain both knowledge and information as well as hands on working with trees. There are some good books and getting one or more is also helpful. Visit a show this summer and see what others grow. Chinese Elm incidentaly belong out not inside.

Thank you for your replies, i have located a local bonsai club so will be making enquiries about joining. Have tried to upload pictures byt no joy yet!

reduce to less then 1000px on the longest side, and say, 200kb in size and it should work.
