Add more soil to the pot firmly. Add decorate rocks or moss as desired. 16. Dunk the tree in a basin of water to remove air bubbles. 17. Water with a hose and soft nozzle. 18. After a year, remove the wires from the tree. Resources: Roger visited Bonsai West (http://www.bonsaiwest.com/) in Littleton, Massachusetts.
