Once you have trained, or started to train a bonsai into a chosen style,
it is vital to keep the plant growing well. To do this, you need a
knowledge of basic horticultural skills, such as where to place the tree,
and how to water and feed it correctly. You also
need to know how to prune the branches, roots, and repot the bonsai periodically.
Routine branch pruning is necessary to maintain the shape of the bonsai.
Finally, wiring the tree in place and making sure that the wire
doesn't bite into the flesh of the tree is also something very
important to know about. This maintenance section has been designed to cover these aspects involved
in keeping a bonsai
