I bought this for my Mum wha has worked with bonsai for years, so I always find it difficult to buy books that still inspire her. Well, this certainly did - her house is packed to the rafters with new bonsai, and she is curled up on the sofa surrounded by plants reading this book. I am pretty sure she liked it!!

The title is a little misleading.
16 Feb 1999
Format:Paperback
While this book does stress the main idea of indoor growing, it doesn't help when the author tells us to move the plant outdoors in the spring. The lighting requirement for each species is really helpful and the photos are beautiful. The illustrations make repotting easier to do (you can see how the tree is tied to the pot). The care is detailed and quick since you can see at a glance how much watering is needed or when to propagate.n

Good book for beginners.

Format:Paperback
This book helped me a lot in deciding which tree to grow and maintain. This book had drawings and pictures that assisted me in pruning, wiring, and the transplanting of my tree.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book, of the 3 I purchased, is the one I refer to most often. It has detailed descirptions of each tree along wiht detailed instructions on care for the tree including maintenance, repotting, propagation, etc. Very easy to understand and has answered the vast majority of my questions.
