Bonsai: Year One
A Complete Beginner's Guide to Your First Twelve Months
by A. Sima
About the book
Bonsai: Year One is a calm, practical companion for the most fragile stretch of the hobby — the first twelve months, when most beginners lose their tree. Instead of overwhelming you with centuries of tradition, it walks you through the seasonal rhythm of a single year: what to do this week, this month, this season.
What's inside
- The four things that actually kill beginner bonsai — and how to avoid each
- A month-by-month care calendar you can follow without guesswork
- Watering, light, and soil explained in plain language
- Your first prune, your first repot, and your first winter
- How to read your tree and respond before problems start
Who it's for
Anyone who was given (or bought) their first bonsai and doesn't want to watch it slowly decline. No prior experience, no special tools, no jargon.
