“Surprisingly, bonsai began in China around 2000 years ago and were brought to Japan and Korea where it was developed into the Japanese art form we know today. Typically kept under four feet in height, bonsai translates from Japanese to “tree planted in a container.” Common bonsai species include Ficus, Juniper and Japanese maple, but there are hundreds of trees that can be grown and refined into bonsai!” By Greta Engel
I did have a Bonsai once— it’s definately an art to care for the beautiful plant.
