A lot of useful information in a small package

This is a very useful book that gives you wonderful guidelines as to when it is time to repot, shape, water, fertilize, etc... It also gives you an idea of what a lot of different species of trees need and prefer. Wonderful book. I am very glad that I bought it.

This book was fantastic. It gave me the tips I needed to get started in this hobby with regard to watering, tree placement, general growing tips. Definitely the best of the many books I've read with regards to care tips.

Most books on Bonsai give you the basics of every aspect of raising your Bonsai. This book goes into much more detail on watering and preventative maintenance. Did you know that watering is a 3 step process?
