How do you grow a bonsai tree the right way?

From email:

I am trying to grow a bonsai tree but I don’t know when to trim the roots and the branches and how much to trim. If you can please give me some tips and advice I would really appreciate it.


Answer:
Make sure your bonsai tree gets at least 3 hours of sunlight every day. This is essential if you are growing your tree indoors.
Maleable wiring is used to give your bonsai tree the shape you want. For trimming and pruning, use a concave cutter — it’s a tool designed to prune the plant without leaving a stub. Shears, pliers, and branch bending jacks are other efective tools for pruning.
