Recently a bonsai friend consulted me, asking how it is to make bonsai with podocarpus? Regarding this, I really don't know where to begin. Not all podocarpus are suitable for making bonsai, and podocarpus also comes in different varieties. A fine-leaf podocarpus bonsai made by a master can sell for 500 yuan each!

Although fine-leaf podocarpus is suitable for making bonsai, we should not blindly follow the trend. For example, I once met a bonsai friend who tied up a 3-year-old podocarpus tightly with ropes, and as a result, that podocarpus did not live past two months before dying. This approach is not worth the loss; it not only wastes energy, but also wastes bonsai material!

Generally speaking, the podocarpus that masters use to make bonsai are old roots at least 5 years old, and then they are shaped for 2-3 years before they can become a podocarpus with graceful form and excellent quality. Seen this way, it is not surprising that a podocarpus bonsai made by a master sells for 500 yuan!

Growing bonsai is a long process, and you must never rush for success, otherwise it will backfire and you will lose more than you gain.If you also love bonsai and think what I said makes sense, please follow, leave a comment, and give a like! Keep reading on, more exciting content continues!
