    The idea of the perfect bonsai for each of us is a target we set for our trees, but is perfection the ideal target? Will it just lead to disappointment and dissatisfaction with our bonsai? No. Not if we breakdown the path to perfection into bite size achievable pieces then perfection is the best target. Also practising poor techniques over and over will not lead to improvement. Slowing down, building your skills and techniques is the only way for improvement. Then practice that, correct techniques. It will be almost impossible to have perfect bonsai without having a perfect set of skills.

    Season 8 Episode 14 - Deciduous Autumn Maintenance
    Apr 19 2026

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Autumn is a very important time for deciduous bonsai and our maintenance program will set them up for a successful Spring and beyond. Tasks like leaf removal, light pruning, gentle wiring and wound management are all on the menu. Positioning takes a high priority right now too, chasing the sun and avoiding the frost. Takes some time to sit back and review your bonsai before they head to winter dormancy and take action.

    Season 8 Episode 13 - Mid Autumn and Your Bonsai, Bonsai Events
    Apr 12 2026

    Contact Scott from Bonsai Matsu

    Well we're mid way through the Autumn period and you need to be very careful with watering at this time. Different trees in your collection will be at different stages as we head towards a dormancy period so their water usage will start to vary as well. Overwatering can be a significant problem around now. There are techniques you can use and things to keep an eye out for that will let you know before a problem develops. I have been travelling around this beautiful country of ours recently and had the opportunity to work on amazing material and see loads of bonsai lovers. And there is always something to learn!
