Hi all!

I have tried Bonsai (before DG) and have killed them all! grrr!

DH wanted his own lil bonsai garden so for V-day I bought him several Bonsai's

Ca Coast Live Oak
Baggesens Gold
Azelea Brick Red
Heart Ivy
Box Honeysuckle


they are all currently in 2" pots about 3 to 6" tall. I know nothing about how to keep them trained, wether they need sun or shade...etc.

Is there a good book I can buy that has all the basics?

I'd like to put them all in one container, but know nothing about soil conditions, which containers are best...etc, etc...

please help! LOL!
