You might start your bonsai journey loving the artistic side of the hobby but you must grow to love the maintenance side. This is where you will end up spending nearly 99% of your bonsai time. I also have a little tip for you too regarding the direction you work on your bonsai. Think of a chicken...don't worry it will all make sense in the podcast I promise.

In order to make or develop beautiful bonsai, you must be able to work at both a macro or big picture level as well as at the micro level which deals with the branch that you're looking at right now. It is easy to become distracted by the future and miss the opportunity to work in the now for your tree. I also think bonsai confidence and bonsai overconfidence need to be managed. A lack of confidence means nothing happens, overconfidence means something bad may happen! How do we fix that? Have a listen and I'l see if I can help.

The concept (or mistake) of one of all species of bonsai in your collection can really make life difficult for you. Sometimes we need to curb our enthusiasm and make sound decisions. Easier said than done right?? I know it's a very difficult thing to walk out of a bonsai nursery without any new acquisitions but hear me out. Not everything has potential and are you certain it will thrive in your yard? We've all been there and I want to offer some practical first hand advice from someone who knows only too well the fact that filling your yard with bonsai may become a nightmare...

Winter is a great time to see your deciduous bonsai in their naked glory. It is also a time where their structural issues are more apparent than ever. So what should you do? Remove it? Hide it? Live with it? Yes, yes and yes. I will talk through the various options you have and some considerations for you to answer this question. I like to work on my bonsai in a 'mode'. That is, if I'm doing maintenance work then that is all I'm doing. If I'm wiring, then I'm wiring. This singular focus can really help you achieve a great result.

Late Autumn around your bonsai collection will show you signs of potential issues that may be significant in Winter. So if you know what to look for you can make changes or take appropriate action to avoid these issue. This time of the year is a necessary time for pine work, on all variety of pines. But there's no need to put yourself under the pump, we have time and I'll explain why.
