Question Cloning A Bonsai Tree.
Hi, somewhat stupid question but I was wondering if its possible to clip off a cuttling from a bonsai tree ( healthy one ) and have that clone take root or survive at all. I just attempted this with my moms bonsai tree and I planted it and I'm just trying to see if I'm wasting time. I think it would be pretty cool if it works out. I might start a bonsai clone business.

...


depends on a lot of things...most important is tree type.. Willow is self rooting, meaning you need no hormone. But Willow bonsai are undesirable and hard to train. It is possible to take a cutting from some types of bonsai and root with some sort of hormone. Remember bonsai trees are REAL trees, they are not shrubs they are trees that would be large if planted in the ground, what makes them a bonsai is the small root system and the pruning that keeps them small. Some of the most beautiful bonsai are thirty foot wild growing trees that have been trained and contained to be small mirrors of what they look like in the wild. Good luck with your business, sounds like your mom's tree has some work ahead of it.

Haha. I don't know what kind of bonsai it is. I'm going to try and identify it today. I did use hormones anyways just to see if it helps. If it servives I might replant it outside or should I just keep it indoors with its mom?

And thanks for the information trent. I'm going to research this some more. I hope it lives and isn't dead when I get home.

No problem.. Killed a lot of trees in my day. But the only finished Bonsai is a dead one.

Damn. I'm pretty blunted and just read that and I thought about how deep that was. That's wild. My "bonsai clone" is most likely going to die. Some what yellowish. Gonna throw him out tommorow if a watering doesn't help.

Heres an idea.Look around your yard and find a cool tree, find out what it is, and read about it. then if you think you can provide it's needs take a clone from the tree,TIP: when you pick/cut your clone from the tree, stand there and try to find the best looking one that already has a cool shape and is healthy. i have three Bonsai's i've been growing sence i was 7 and i'm 18+ now. they're great plants. if you find out what kind of tree you want to bonsai i would gladly help you find critical info on the plant. Just let me know.
