Need some help please on Bonsai literature. Cruising through all the threads is great but I need a baseline knowledge so can someone recommend a Bonsai starter book for Dummies? I got a Juniper as a gift because my friends know how much I love Bonsais. Did a bit of research to make sure I didn't kill it right away, and it seems to be flourishing in spite of what I don't know. I must have the watering down because it's done well over the winter and I even pruned it a little last summer to get a basic shape I'm looking for. I really need info on fertilization, soil, and repotting, and root trimming????? When, where and how? Any helpful suggestions on books?
