Great! I suggest buying her a bonsai starter kit. It will contain everything she needs to grow her own bonsai tree. Here are a few things to look for when shopping for a bonsai starter kit:
1. Tree Variety - Make sure to purchase a kit that includes a tree variety your granddaughter is interested in. Some popular bonsai tree types are Japanese Maple, Chinese Elm, and Juniper.
2. Pot - A bonsai pot should be shallow with drainage holes. The kit should include an appropriate pot for the tree variety.
3. Soil - The kit should come with soil specifically for bonsai trees. The soil should be well-draining to prevent root rot.
4. Seeds or Seedling - Depending on the type of kit you choose, it may come with seeds or a seedling. If it comes with seeds, your granddaughter will need to germinate them. If it comes with a seedling, she can skip this step.
5. Fertilizer - Look for a kit that includes bonsai fertilizer. It’s important to use the right type of fertilizer and to not over-fertilize.
6. Tools - Many kits include basic bonsai tools such as scissors and shears. These will come in handy as your granddaughter trims her tree.
7. Care Instructions - Make sure the kit includes detailed care instructions. Bonsai tree care can be very specific and your granddaughter will want to make sure she’s doing everything correctly.
Once your granddaughter has her starter kit, she can begin growing her own bonsai tree. It’s important for her to keep in mind that bonsai cultivation requires patience and dedication. The tree will need to be watered regularly, trimmed and shaped, and given the right amount of sunlight. With proper care, your granddaughter’s bonsai tree will thrive and she will have a unique and personal gift to admire for years to come.
