Bougainvillea bonsai- Grow in full to partial sun Water every day or two, depending on size and age of individual plant. Fertilize once or twice a week. Bougis flower on a ten to
twelve week cycle, year round. When flowers fade and turn papery, cut back flowering branch 4 to 6 inches. When new shoots
grow to about 4 to 6 in. in length, pinch the growing tip. This will discourage long, rank growth and promote the next flowering
cycle. Protect from a freeze. Root prune once a year. Take the plant out of the pot and cut 2 to 3 in. off the bottom of the
root. Replace the potting soil and repot Bougi. This can be done at any time of year.

a potting mix of long-fiber sphagnum moss and perlite, 50/50.

Juniper -Grow outside in full to partial sun. Water every two or three days, depending on the weather, the size and age of your particular plant. Junipers don't' like to stay
dry and prefer to be on the moist side. Finger prune new growth so that the energy and growth go to the trunk and branches.
Cold hardy to well below freezing as they are evergreens. They can take the heat also. Fertilize with a weak solution of Peters
at least once a month. Root pruning should be done every year or two.

For indoor growing bonsai choose a plant that will survive in a house, plants that requires little light and can withstand
low humidity.
Scheffeleria is one of the easiest to keep. Do not over water, we water it about once a week. Pick larger lives to encorige
small ones, root prune every year or two
