Bonsai Tree Situation, Position and Placement
Most species of bonsai can quite happily tolerate full sun and will thrive in this situation. A light position is essential for good budding and healthy, compact growth.
POSITION Full sun. Frosts below -5°C can cause lose of foliage though this is quickly replaced in Spring. Some frost protection is advised for trees in very small pots.
FEEDING Every two weeks during the growing season.
...
Position and Sunlight
Put your bonsai outdoors.
While they are growing, put them in the sun for 3 to 6 hours per day.
You can do it in the morning or afternoon.
Position
Do not place the azalea bonsai in direct sunlight as this will affect the color and kill the flowers, instead keep the plant in the shade, especially during the summer.
Watering ...
POSITION: A Bonsai prefers morning sun with protection from afternoon sun in summer. Filtered sun in the afternoon is okay.
Positioning the tree in the pot
The Tree should be planted at such a height in the pot as to allow the roots as they leave the trunk to be visible above the pot.
Soil Composition
Because your bonsai is growing in the restrictive confines of a pot, it is important that you use a special mixture of materials for its soil.
Soil Composition
Different trees have different soil requirements an Azalea will require a more acidic soil than a Juniper would. All soil is basically made up of two components organic and inorganic.
Position: In summer Myrtles are best placed outside in a sunny position. Myrtles are not fully hardy and need to be brought indoors from October to May.
Positioning Of Mini Bonsai Trees
The ideal position for a Mini bonsai is a well ventilated place that faces southeast (in the northern hemisphere) but it has to be shaded from the sun if it is any longer than six hours per day.
Position the tree with the right orientation, secure with wire and then fill with soil to just below the pot rim. Gently move the soil around the roots with your fingers (some use a chopstick) to ensure that there are no air pockets.
Position the tree off center in the pot. Consider the best side/front of the tree, direction of surface roots, branch movement, any imperfections on the outside of the pot.
A position of dappled shade is ideal, if this is not possible don't worry. As long as the root system has plenty of moisture they will virtually thrive in any position in the garden.
A position where there is an opening and each trunk can be seen is the front. The distance between each trunk must be different. Do not have the trees crossing each other.

Jack Wikle positions fluorescent tubes about 9 inches above his bench surface and about 1 inch from the top of his tree. It follows that the tree-pot height limit with Jack's system is about 8 inches.
Because of the position of the head and neck the alignment of you body will also improve, thus giving you a good nights rest, with lots of oxygen intake.
While the trees' positions are decided on, the roots are covered with soil and fixed into place. There is a surprising amount of stability provided by the soil's weight. It is very helpful to have an assistant on hand at this time.

Effect of Soil Composition
Utilization of soluble fertilizers depends greatly on soil composition.
Once you have worked out the position of where the tree should sit in the pot, (usually off-centre except for cascade and semi-cascade styles), put the mesh over the drainage holes and add a layer of soil for the tree to rest on.
Peat - Partly decomposed organic matter, originating from the decomposition ofvegetation in bogs, marshes or heathland. As an ingredient of potting soil, peatassists in moisture retention.
Training bonsai normally involves the use of wire to position and shape trunk and branches. Either aluminum or annealed copper wire is used for this purpose.
At an early age, the bonsai can be trained to an angle by means of wiring the trunk until it is in position. Alternatively, the tree can be forced to grow in a slanted style by putting the actual pot on a slant, causing the tree to grow abnormally.
The process of wiring and bending causes a series of minute splits and fractures in the layers underneath the bark of the branch; as the cambium layer repairs and heals this damage, the new position is 'learnt' by the branch.
Place new soil in the pot, firmly seat the tree in its new position in the pot. Begin to tie it in loosely by drawing one wire over and twisting it to the next tie-in around the pot until you reach the first wire again.
Move branches into position and try to create an image that reflects the one in your mind. If none exist, copy something you like from a picture.
The tree is wired to assist in getting branches to grow in a specific position and to enhance the look of the tree. The wire is removed after 6 months. Usually the branch should then stay in that position on it's own.
Summer -(top) Continue rotating the position of the plants, as well as location (from sun to partial shade). Water regularly, preferably in the early morning or late afternoon.
The informal upright is the most commonly seen style, with a similar branch formation and positioning to the formal upright, except that the trunk snakes around as it moves up to its apex.
You may not realize at first glance, but bonsai is meant to be viewed in a certain position. That is, a bonsai tree has a front, a back, a right side, and a left side. How can you tell the difference? The front shows an open truck line.
We must invite them into the composition but control that visit. The best example that I can give for this is that standard old landscape painting that all of us have seen many times.
Then wire the tree in order to get the branches to grow in a specific position and direction and to enhance the look of the tree. The wire should be removed after 6 months. Usually the branch should then stay in that position on it's own.
So that the Bonsai tree when implanting the Kengai style can grow free from any obstacles it’s important to ensure the Bonsai pot is in an elevated position near the edge of a table or ledge so that the Bonsai trunk can freely suspend beneath ...
Hence, the bonsai pot that we choose for our bonsai tree is an integral and vital part of the entire bonsai composition. Without a well-matching bonsai pot, the bonsai is incomplete.
The top can be of sturdy timber nailed to battens to hold them in position, paving slabs or specially cast concrete tops.
Once you have decided on materials, draw up a rough plan. This probably best done as perspective sketch if you can manage it.
Primary focus was in the exposition of stylistic trunks in the shape of animals and mystic figures.
The decomposition process requires oxygen and air flow into the pile. When the mulch is compacted too tight, this air flow can not take place, and as the mulch continues to decompose it becomes extremely hot as the organic matter ferments.
Be careful to have the precise front position you want. You may need to move the roots a bit to achieve this position. Slight differences can greatly enhance or detract from the beauty of the finished tree.
Outdoors in hot sunny positions this may be daily whereas indoors in cool positions once a week may be enough. Water well so that the soil becomes thoroughly moist, do not allow the plant to sit in water for excessive periods.

The smallest sized bonsai, generally up to 4 or 5 inches in height.
WIRE: you will want to get several different thickness of annealed copper wire. It is very flexible until it is bent, then it sets and holds its position. You will use it to position and train branches.
This Bonsai tree soil contains no organic matter and despite it's clay-based composition is quite granular. The granules retain their structure for years and are able to drain and hold sufficient water. This makes it an ideal Bonsai tree soil.
Wire is used to bend and shape trunks and branches into desired positions. Wire alters the original shape of a plant and by so doing creates the appearance of a small tree.
How long should the wire stay on?
Choosing a suitable position to grow bonsai
Bonsai are living trees and grow best outside the same as other garden trees.
Humus, the organic components that remain after decomposition of plant material by soil organisms, along with clay are the two major factors that help retain water and nutrients.
It could take several tries to find the best position. The roots are tucked into the cracks, and flat polyethylene ribbon or narrow strips of nylon stocking are tied around the rock to hold them in place.
Branch bender: A clamp or jack used to bend branches or trunk into a different position .
Branch splitter: Also known as a trunk splitter, this cutting tool is specially designed to split trunks with minimal residual damage.
bonsai should be positioned where it will receive
sufficient sun -- morning sun and afternoon shade is
best. A bonsai can be viewed best when it is placed
approximately three to four feet high (eye level),
such as on a table, wall or bench.
Copper wire is wound around the position where it wants root shown as much as to cut into the trunk. It is point that is strongly tightened. Sphagnum moss is put on that, and covered with plastic bag.
You'll also find useful details on position and temperature for that individual species, plus its preference for watering, feeding, pruning and training, soil and repotting. And an action list shows you how to get started.
This plant was purchased from the Bonsai South Nursery in August 2004. Since then it was kept in a semi-sheltered position to acclimatise to the local weather conditions. The first styling was done in early August 2005.

the end of the wire as a handle and twisting it around the tree usually makes the wire too tight on the branch and can cut off circulation) If the wire is too loose there will be no holding power and the branch will return to its original position.
After one or two years, in many cases, the trunk and branches should be settled in the desired positions, so the winding wires are no longer needed, and may be taken off.
