Answer the following 12 questions to check whether you are capable to grow Bonsai
Good luck!
Question 1: It is late in the evening and you are already in bed watching television when you hear that temperatures will drop below zero degrees Celsius (32 °F) that night. Some of your Bonsai are still outside and you haven't protected them from the cold. Would you go outside to protect your Bonsai? No, I would stay in bed Yes, I would go outside to protect the trees No, I would do it the next day
Question 2: The weather is good and since some of your Bonsai trees need to be repotted, this seems to be a perfect day to spend on your Bonsai. However, you have a lot of work to do as well, what would you do? I would start repotting my trees immediately I would repot the trees most desperately in need and focus on my work afterwards Work is more important, maybe tomorrow I will have more time for my trees Question 3: You are just repotting your Bonsai when friends call and ask you if you would like to go to a party with them. What would you do? I would leave my Bonsai and go straight to the party I would go the party but take some time to protect the trees from drying out by putting them back in the soil I appreciate their invitation but I would prefer to continue work on my Bonsai trees now Question 4: Why do you think growing Bonsai is appealing? I think Bonsai trees are beautiful and it gives me a lot of satisfaction to grow Bonsai Someone gave it to me as a present; I'm just watering it every now and then I find the trees beautiful and they decorate the room Question 5: What would you do if several of your Bonsai trees were stolen? How unfortunate, the trees where worth a lot to me... I wanted to start another hobby anyway... I would ask all my friends and neighbors to look out for my trees Question 6: You have got a new job at a Bonsai store nearby, just like you always have wanted, but someone offers you another job with a slightly higher salary, what would you do? I would prefer to earn money with my hobby; I will continue my Bonsai job At the end, money is more important, I would choose the new job I would to try to combine the two jobs by working at the Bonsai shop on Saturdays Question 7: Friends invite you to go on a “last-minute holiday” with them, but you can't find someone to look after your Bonsai while you're away. What would you do? I would install some automatic watering system, and hope it works properly while I'm away I would go with them straight away, maybe it starts raining or something? I would ask my neighbors or other friends to look after my Bonsai and show them how to water my trees before going anywhere Question 8: It is a cold night and you arrive home late at night from your job and your Bonsai are desperately waiting to be watered. What would you do first? I would go into the garden to water the Bonsai trees right away I would have dinner firs and probably water my Bonsai tomorrow morning I would water the indoor-Bonsai trees, but I am not going outside now Question 9: One of your Bonsai is infected by an unknown insect, what would you do? I would throw the tree away; anything else would probably not work anyway I would spend the necessary time to find a good insecticide to save my tree I would place the Bonsai separately from my other trees to prevent the insect from spreading and see what happens Question 10: You bought a nice tree and after pruning some branches it looks much better. Unfortunately, a few weeks later the tree doesn't react very well and branches are dying. What would you do? I would remove the dead parts and wait to see how it will react I would throw the tree away and start work on another I would spend time removing dead branches and seal all the wounds carefully; and maybe ask a friend what else I can do. Question 11: You are working on a Bonsai tree for a few years already, but it doesn't react the way you hoped. What would you do? I am going to put some extra effort in the tree I would let the tree grow unrestrained for a year or so, and see what happens I stop trying and simply buy a new tree Question 12: Are you a patient person? I try to avoid long lines, I dislike having to wait I am a patient person and I don't mind having to wait sometimes I absolutely do not like waiting
