Are you a beginner in bonsai care? You are probably still looking for information on everything you need to do to make this tree grow in the best way possible, while being beautiful and healthy. This is normal, since we are talking about a plant that, as a general rule, requires quite specific conditions to fully develop. It is true that there are many types and each one has different needs, but you will be able to give it the treatment it deserves without any problem. What type of bonsai do you have? Are you going to spoil it? Don’t believe everything you read. Here are some widespread urban legends about bonsai, which you need to put to rest. Forget about it!
Here are some urban legends about bonsais!
- For experts only: Rubbish! It is one of the urban legends about bonsais that has been most popular among bonsai lovers, causing many to refuse to have them. Not at all. You don’t have to be an expert, but you do have to have the willpower to give it the conditions it needs. That is all. It is a matter of learning and exercising the care required by the plant. By the way, although it is always good for culture, it is not necessary to immerse yourself in oriental culture for a bonsai to shine with its own light. Being informed always helps, but you do not have to become a source of knowledge.
- They grow better if you talk to them: We are not telling you not to talk to it, because you might find it pleasant but it is far from being proven that this plant, if you talk to it frequently, will develop in better conditions. Nor are we anyone to tell you that it is false, but it is not proven. What you do need to know is that your bonsai, provided it receives the care it needs, will be with you for a long time, even if you don’t talk to it. But if you feel comfortable talking to it, go for it. You’ve got nothing to lose!
- Having a bonsai brings luck: We are sure that you will do very well in life, but it won’t be because you have a bonsai at home. This plant will help to keep you company and make your home special, but nothing more. However, we have some bad news. You will not be luckier in many ways for having it. It is pure superstition. However, caring for bonsais has many positive effects, such as improved mood, more relaxation and real peace of mind. We would like to take this opportunity to tell you that, if on the other hand, you have heard that bonsai trees can have negative effects on you, this is a nonsensical myth.
