Everybody loves to be with nature.
There are individuals who are exerting much effort to be with nature and sometimes bring nature into their homes.
Some put up their own garden, allowing different types of plants to grow, from flowers, trees, vegetable, fruits, and a lot more.
However, it is quite awkward to place a beautiful gigantic tree within a building's receiving area.
Hence, Bonsai comes into the picture.
It is a Japanese word which means, "bon" (tray or pot) and "sai" (planting).
In English, it is the term used for a tree in a pot.
According to history, this horticulture art form originated from mainland China almost 2000 years ago and up to now it is practiced, loved, and improvements are on the process worldwide.
Bonsai is basically made for display purposes and to let the grower show his enthusiasm and uniqueness in doing the art.
It is not intended to produce food, medicine, or to create a landscape.
It is created coming from a specimen though not all trees can be used on this kind of art.
Any shrub species or woody-stemmed trees that are essentially small while planted on a pot are commonly used for bonsai development.
Crown and root pruning are some of the actions taken in order to maintain the size of a bonsai.
As the plant reaches its final size, it is then transferred on its ceramic pot wherein its growth is restricted.
This is the time that the grower can apply the detailed designs for the bonsai to look fantastic.
Most of the growers say that the success of a bonsai depends on how similar it looks like to its actual size.
There are various styles and size classification that can be applied on a bonsai but generally these factors must go hand in hand in order to have a realistic product.
A bonsai is recorded to have a lifespan of hundreds of years and the oldest bonsai living until today is the one kept in Tokyo Imperial Palace, which is known as Sandai-Shogun-No Matsu and it is also believed that it was cared by Tokugawa Iemitsu, a shogun during the 17th century.
