Featuring Various Plant Bonsai Ideas

Bonsai (盆栽?) Is a plant or tree that is dwarfed in shallow pots with the aim of making a miniature of the original form of a large tree that is old in the wild. Planting (sai, 栽) is done in shallow pots called bon (盆). The term bonsai is also used for traditional Japanese art in the maintenance of plants or trees in shallow pots, and the appreciation of the beauty of branches, leaves, stems, and tree roots, as well as shallow pots into containers, or whole shapes of plants or trees. Bonsai is a Japanese pronunciation for penzai (盆栽).

This art covers various techniques of cutting and pruning, wiring (forming branches and branches of trees by wrapping wires or bending them with wire bonds), and making roots spread over rocks. Making bonsai takes a long time and involves a variety of jobs, including the provision of fertilizer, pruning, plant formation, watering, and replacement of pots and soil. Plants or trees are dwarfed by cutting roots and twigs. Trees are formed with the help of wires on twigs and shoots. The wire must have been taken before scratching the bark of the tree. Plants are living things, and no bonsai can be finished or finished. Continuous change in plants according to season or natural state is one of the attractions of bonsai.

Bonsai comes from the art of plant miniaturization called penjing (盆rive) of the Tang Dynasty period. In the tomb of the son of Maharani Wu Zetian there is a wall painting depicting a female waitress carrying a flowering tree in a shallow pot. This small shallow pot is a miniaturization of the landscape.

The nobles in Japan began to recognize penjing around the end of the Heian era. The kanji script for penjing (盆景) is pronounced Japanese as bonkei. Similarly in China, the bonkei in Japan is also a miniaturization of the landscape. Art enjoyed only by the upper classes, especially among palace and samurai officials, and was called bonsai in the Edo period

Planting bonsai is an Edo samurai sideline job, as bonsai reaches the height of popularity. Since the Meiji era, bonsai is considered a stylish hobby. However the maintenance of bonsai and watering takes a lot of time. In line with Japan's more modern and homeless neighborhoods, the bonsai fans are finally confined to the elderly.
