From Booklist
Lesniewicz gives readers a short history of the art of bonsai and offers instructions on care, including light, humidity, temperature, watering, and feeding requirements. He includes step-by-step directions on shaping and creating four classic bonsai forms, creating groupings, propagating plants from seed and cuttings, trimming leaves, and pruning roots. The bulk of the book is a listing of 42 bonsai plants arranged alphabetically with detailed instructions on their care. There's also a list of 26 questions and answers to help gardeners grow these demanding miniature plants. Almost every page of this profusely illustrated and informative guide is in color.
