hey. I'm looking on starting a bonsai tree for my room. i would like to say that i grew it myself and have a beautiful nature setup for it also...how long does it take to grow "leaves" so it will start to look like ones in the pictures. i know every type has different times but im looking for an estimate.|||Be careful that you start with a tree that is TROPICAL, since 100's of species are used for bonsai. Often people try to grow outdoor trees inside and they will only last about 6 months. Start with any age tree, and be PATIENT. You may want to read the Bonsai Care page on my site:
http://www.american-bonsai.com to give you a better idea of what to expect, and which types of trees to select.|||With bonsai's one thing to consider is what size do you want the bonsai to maintain. Let the tree grow in open soil or in a deep well rounded pot to the size you want it to be as far as height. Then you may start the pruning. Its important not to overprune because you can kill the tree if you make to many modifications to fast. Bonsai's take patience. They grow when they grow. You can see litle leaves (obviously don't prune these yet) from 6 months to a year. Times vary widely from species to species. Your tree will yook pretty scraggly in the beginning. Just hold on before pruning unil the tree matures enough to take on some like pruning.
