Question

I`m interested in either a Buddhist Pine or Tropica Fig.What are the price ranges for both these trees? I`m a 1st timer so your advise here would quite welcome. Would a bonsai be too high maintenance for someone with long work hours?

Answer

I stock both those varieties, and the smallest start at £25.now both these plants prefer different conditions, the podocarpus likes a cool well lit spot, whereas the fig, being more tropical, loves a warm humid environment.

Whenever you buy a bonsai, decide how much you want to spend , and then get the biggest one you can, the bigger the pot, the easier it is to maintain. Smaller pot dry more quickly, so need watering more often.

If you are away for a while, I do a baby sitting service, as well as a repotting and pruning one.
