Weekend Bonsai Projects - Kokedama, Forest Planting, Rock Planting and Saikei, Step by Step

Make a bonsai you can finish this weekend with Weekend Bonsai Projects.

This digital guide includes 4 creative projects, 30 pages in total, each one designed to be completed in a day or a weekend and to keep growing and improving for years.

Classic bonsai rewards patience over years. These projects reward you on Sunday evening: a moss ball for your window, a small forest on a tray, a tree growing on a stone, a landscape in miniature. They are also the best way to use young, inexpensive plants that would take years to become a single bonsai.

Each project comes with a shopping list with quantities, the decisions to make before you start, a step-by-step build, an aftercare table and ideas for your next one.

What You'll Find Inside

• Materials and Design: keto, akadama, sphagnum and live moss explained, the plants that work for each project, tools and work area, and three design rules that make any planting look natural
• Project 1, Kokedama: a plant growing in a ball of soil wrapped in moss, set on a dish or hung by a string
• Project 2, Forest Planting: five to nine young trees arranged on a shallow tray to look like a grove
• Project 3, Clinging to a Rock: a small tree planted on stone, held in a layer of muck and moss
• Project 4, Saikei: trees, rocks, ground cover and a gravel stream combined into a living landscape
• Keep Them Growing: care at a glance for all four projects and a weekly routine
• Printable pages: project log with photo frames

Why You'll Love This Guide

Every project looks complete on the day you make it. Kokedama makes a beautiful gift, a forest turns a handful of seedlings into a scene, and a saikei is a landscape that is entirely your own.

Pick a project, gather the materials on the list, and follow the steps from the first handful of soil to the first watering.
