Bonsai, Gardening

Bonsai is a Japanese word, 盆栽. Bonsai is actually two words, "Bon", and "Sai". The word "Bon" means "tray" and "Sai", "growing" or "planting".

What I like about Bonsai is that the shape itself is like a miniature big tree. It gives me a cooling and relaxing feeling. Buying a Bonsai and keeping it at home is easy but... it is not easy to grow and manage them. Bonsai needs thorough care and it takes time to grow into a beautiful plant.

How I wish I could have many different Bonsais decorated at home. Any of the below one would be nice, isn't it?


These are special ones.. with it's trunk grew winding and made into words.
The seller told me that it take years for these to form into wording and because of that each of them costs few hundred ringgit.

I wonder if I have even only 1 of it, do I know how to take care and have it continue growing healthyly? I think I need to read more of bonsai books before I could own one.
