Particularly small-leaved trees and conifer species are in the foreground because the filigree greening fits perfectly with the rest of the dwarf design of the bonsai and thus offers an optimal overall picture. A good cut tolerance is also an advantage since an impressive and imaginative design for the different bonsai shapes can only be realized through the regular cut of the bonsai. Over the centuries, classic bonsai species have emerged that adorn Japanese gardens and rooms. And a few species that are native to us have also established themselves as bonsai over time. In this article, we will give you a little insight into the variety of bonsai and introduce the most popular types of rooms and gardens.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_most_popular_indoor_bonsai_species\"><\/span>The most popular indoor bonsai species<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The indoor bonsai is probably the best-known form of mini-trees for us. Most indoor bonsais are small exotic species that sit enthroned on the windowsill all year round. However, you can do most species a favor by shipping them to a sunny spot in front of the door in summer. They should only spend the winter in a sheltered place, as the species are usually not hardy and sometimes get problems at temperatures below 15 \u00b0 C. Otherwise, there is a large selection of different plants that are suitable for beginners as well as professionals and allow a wide range of bonsai shapes due to their different growth and greatly varying leaf shapes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> In the following profiles we will also name suitable soils for each bonsai. Often, special earth is traditionally used, which contains lava rocks from the Far East. But substrate manufacturers from Germany also offer high-quality basic soils for bonsai. The clay granulate it contains does not necessarily come from China or Japan, but the bonsai is indifferent to the origin of its soil anyway if the quality is right. And it is always better for the environment if the raw materials used come from the USA and are not flown in from Asia.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chinese_figlaurel_fig_Ficus_microcarpa_%CB%88Ginseng%CB%88\"><\/span>Chinese fig\/laurel fig ( <em>Ficus microcarpa<\/em> \u02c8Ginseng\u02c8)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This plant, known as Chinese fig or bay fig, is the absolute beginner&#8217;s bonsai for indoors: The focus is very robust and is characterized by rapid growth, high adaptability, and high tolerance to pruning.

These so-called room azaleas are not hardy because they come from tropical or subtropical regions. So they have to be brought indoors at least in winter. But the genus also has a few hardy species ready. Garden azaleas such as the Japanese azalea ( <em>Rhododendron obtusum<\/em> ) or the yellow azalea ( <em>Rhododendron luteum<\/em> ) can be cultivated as bonsai in the garden all year round.<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-123\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-123\">\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>origin<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Asia, North America, Europe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>growth<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Depending on the species, it blooms between March and July<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>leaves<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Summer green; oval, elongated leaves in light to dark green<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>earth<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Lime-free, slightly acidic; pure Kanuma is very effective for azaleas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Sunny, but without the direct summer sun<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>wintering<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Hardy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Cut\/upbringing<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Cut the base more strongly than the tip, as azaleas are very dominant on the base<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>particularities<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Acid-loving; pour with soft tap water or rainwater<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Juniper_Juniperus_communis\"><\/span>Common Juniper ( <em>Juniperus communis<\/em> )<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The most popular juniper species for training in bonsai include the common juniper, the Chinese juniper ( <em>Juniperus Chinensis<\/em> ), and the Japanese hedgehog juniper ( <em>Juniperus rigida<\/em> ).<\/p>\n<table id=\"tablepress-124\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-124\">\n<tbody class=\"row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-1 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>origin<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Europe, North America, West Asia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-2 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>growth<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Reddish-brown bark; <a href=\"https:\/\/gardender.com\/fertilizing-blackberries-instructions-expert-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">blackberries<\/a> used to make gin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>leaves<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Very hard gray-green, prickly needles<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>earth<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">1: 1 basic bonsai soil and pumice gravel<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Sunny location<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>wintering<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Conditionally hardy (-10 \u00b0 C); sunny<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-7 odd\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>Cut\/upbringing<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Very easy to cut; malleable by wire<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-8 even\">\n<td class=\"column-1\"><strong>particularities<\/strong><\/td>\n<td class=\"column-2\">Let the substrate dry well between the pouring runs; spray occasionally<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Wild_apple_or_crab_apple_Malus_sylvestris\"><\/span>Wild apple or crab apple ( <em>Malus sylvestris<\/em> )<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Even fruit-bearing trees can be brought into miniature form. <em>Apple trees such as Malus Sieboldii<\/em> , <em>Malus halliana,<\/em> or &#8211; the local variant &#8211; the wild apple ( <em>Malus sylvestris<\/em> ) are particularly popular because of their beautiful blossoms, although cultivated forms with rather small fruits are particularly suitable.
