Bonsai, as we all know is a form of art for plants. It first originated in China, and was later passed on to different countries. Bonsai are not just an attractive conversation piece but also has a benefit to our health for many reasons. It is a relaxing hobby that can relieve stress and as a grower, there is said to be a deep philosophy in the spiritual dimension of the art. As you trim, prune, re-pot, water and fertilize, it takes your mind elsewhere allowing you to focus on these simple tasks. The process brings a Zen state of mind. But, also remember that growing these bonsai trees would require a lot of your time and effort, as well as creativity. You need to have basic knowledge in Bonsai making before you could properly grow one at home or at the office.
The ideal way to grow a Bonsai is from a tree seed, which means you would need to start from scratch or the very beginning. Trees are normally the ones we use for Bonsai making, since you wanted a miniature of that piece. The reason why it stays miniature is because of the care that you give to the Bonsai as they grower. But, it is not just trees that we could use for Bonsai making. One that I have at home is the Rosemary Bonsai, which was just given to me by a friend of mine during our housewarming party. I have put it in our kitchen, so it would be just easy to reach whenever I need it while I'm preparing our meals. the rosemary bonsai has a very nice aromatic scent and has a lovely purple blooms which is a natural beauty in any kitchen. You will get a sense of aesthetics and learn how to maximize the beauty of the plant.
A bonsai will literally grow old with you with and may last well over one-hundred years with proper care and management. This only means that you will get to enjoy your very own creation for years to come.
