BonsaiOS
Your trees deserve better than a notebook and a prayer.
A complete bonsai management system built in Notion — for serious hobbyists and artists who want to track every tree, every session, every repot, and every care task in one place.
You know your trees.
What you don't always know is when you last fertilized the juniper, what soil mix you used on that repot three seasons ago, or whether the ficus is overdue for a styling session. It's all in a notebook somewhere. Or a spreadsheet. Or your head.
That's fine when you have three trees. It doesn't scale to thirty.
Bonsai is a long game. The artists who get the best results are the ones who keep records — who know their trees' histories, track what worked and what didn't, and never miss a care window because they forgot to write it down.
BonsaiOS is where you keep it.
A single system for your entire collection. Every tree. Every log. Every task — in one place, on any device, built for the way bonsai actually works. Not a generic plant tracker with "bonsai" in the title. Built from scratch for this craft.
What's inside
-
Tree Collection Species, style, pot, health, location, acquisition date, value, and photos. Gallery view turns your collection into a visual registry you can actually browse.
-
Fertilizing Log Every application logged — fertilizer type, method, amount, date applied, next dose due. Build a real history of what you fed each tree and when.
-
Repotting Log Soil mix, root condition, pot before and after, recovery notes, photos. When it's time to repot again, you'll know exactly what you did last time.
-
Styling & Pruning Log Work type, before/after photos, observations, next steps. Wiring, jin, shari, pruning, candle work — your styling decisions become a record you can learn from.
-
Care Calendar Upcoming tasks by week and month. Overdue alerts. Recurring care reminders by tree. Working from data, not guesswork — nothing slips through.
-
Wishlist Track trees you want to acquire — species, source, budget, priority. Because the acquisition is part of the practice too.
-
Dashboard Your master view — collection gallery, needs-attention alerts, this week's care tasks, collection stats. Open it in the morning. Know exactly where things stand.
