How do you make a bonsai grow faster?

Answer 1

The whole idea of growing bonsai is to grow them as slowly as possible, however to get you started off a little quicker I would suggest planting them in the ground to begin.

Tree's will generally sprout and grow more quickly in the ground and, with the correct care (fertilising and soil composition), can be transplanted to a bonsai pot with little worry.

Please note that if you trim the tree roots when you transplant it, you will need to take off approximately the same length of the tree itself. Further to this, please ensure you have a mixture of soil that can drain well (dont cover the holes with soil because the soil will keep tipping out, instead just place a seashell curved side up over the holes).

On a final note, keep your tree under heavy guard. I suggest hiring armed guards in the initial stages of growth as all mannger of creatures, especially cats, will not think twice about digging at, clawing at, eating, pooping on your little tree sprout.

Once transplanted and established, just make sure you prune at the correct times and let it grow at the correct times.
