OUTDOOR BONSAI
Outdoor bonsai include evergreen varieties like pines and junipers as well as deciduous
varieties like maples and elms. All outdoor bonsai are hardy and require seasonal change. Upon receiving your
bonsai, it is best to acclimate it in a shady area for one week. All outdoor bonsai prefer morning sun and
afternoon shade. Patios, decks and balconies are great areas to display your bonsai during the growing season.
Outdoor bonsai can be displayed indoors, but only for short periods of time. You should never leave your bonsai
inside for more than five days.
WATERING PROPERLY
Watering properly is critical to maintaining a
healthy bonsai! Outdoor bonsai are watered according to the season. Outdoor bonsai should be watered daily in
the spring, summer and fall. In the winter you will not need to water as frequently. However, you should never
let your bonsai’s soil dry out. Water your bonsai properly by using a watering can or hose attachment that has a
fine-spray nozzle. You should thoroughly soak your bonsai’s soil. Water should be running out of the drain
holes. Misting foliage periodically is recommended, but should not be considered watering. General care is also
important to maintaining a beautiful bonsai. Bonsai should be periodically trimmed to keep their miniature
shape. To best understand trimming and wiring techniques, we recommend purchasing an instructional book.
REPOTTING
Your bonsai will need to be repotted every four to five years. It is necessary to repot your
bonsai when its root system becomes pot bound. Repotting outdoor bonsai should be done before new growth appears
during late winter or early spring. Make sure you are using a good bonsai soil when repotting since regular
potting soil will compact and inhibit proper drainage. We recommend waiting at least one growing season before
repotting your bonsai to make sure it is well established.
FERTILIZING
Fertilizing bonsai is required.
Most water-soluble and time-released fertilizers work very well when used as directed. We recommend using
slow-releasing organic fertilizers for more mature specimen bonsai.
INSECTS & DISEASES
Insects and
diseases can attack bonsai just like any other plant. Inspect your bonsai regularly. A brisk spraying of the
trunk and foliage periodically will help keep your tree clean. If any problems appear, most garden centers have
products available for treatment.
WINTER CARE
Outdoor bonsai need to experience winter dormancy and
should remain outdoors in the winter. Nevertheless, the root systems of outdoor bonsai need protection from
extreme winter weather. You should “Heel-In” your bonsai by covering the pot and soil with pine needles or mulch
when temperatures approach freezing. We also recommend protecting your bonsai from extremely cold winds by
placing it against the south side of your house. In areas that have extremely cold winters, bonsai can be
protected in garages, sheds, cold frames or basements. Contact a local bonsai club for more advice.

Two nice healthy little trees ready for further training...
The Harlan boxwood and Portulacaria Jade arrived quickly and in very nice condition. This is due to the superb care in packing and shipping. Each tree has a fat trunk and a multitude of leaves. They are both outside now in full sun but will be moved into partial shade as it gets warmer. Very healthy trees and great value to boot. If you ever get to northern Mississippi stop in to see the greenhouses - it is a very stimulating experience!

Great health
Tree came in very well packaged, which was awesome seeing as the fed ex driver just tossed it on my steps!
Tree is beautiful! As pictured, no deceptions. Tree came in great health. Shame it’s time to bed it down for winter! But I wanted to give it time to acclimate to Minnesota for some spring blooms.
This was my second tree purchased from Brussels, and I will continue to buy from them. Great quality in the tree, packaging for shipping and value for what you get.

Great Gift Idea
After getting the Money Tree Grove a few months ago, (which I’m very pleased with) I thought these would be nice as Christmas gifts and they were well received. Nice little trees!!!

Way too small
Barely 7 inches from desk to top of foliage. Would have spent the extra money
for larger boxwood.

Harland Boxwood
Absolutely beautiful trees. Do well in South Florida (bright light, not direct sun). Within three days of receiving it I saw new sprouts and growth. My only issue is that the pots are overflowing with potting mix so each time I water food and mix wash off. Otherwise a special must have for bonsai enthusiasts.
