Introduction

The Bonsai is a shrub or a tree. Essentially, a plant that is grown in a box created to appear as a mature tree through the application of different training procedures. Two Japanese word phrases or characters, bon and sai, makes up the word bonsai, Bon is the container, tray or pot, while Sai is the potted planting or tree. The Bonsai plant typically doesn't go beyond 3.28 ft (1m) in height.

The first objective of any Bonsai artist is to lay bare the very essence of Bonsai. The Bonsai tree is an art that tells a story via an animate impression. The Bonsai designer attempts to find ways for individual manifestation within the boundaries of healthy horticultural routines. Bonsai is a great fusion of suggestion, thought, and form, in a small world; and like every great art, it lives.

Bonsai relates in the same way to both outdoor and indoor plants. The spirit of the conventional Bonsai is to create a wholesome tiny depiction of a tree. Bonsai, beyond being a tree in a container or pot, is a tree that has been exposed to aesthetic and horticultural disciplines, through which botanical health and pictorial coherence is reached. 

Students and Beginners alike often worry about developing the necessary skill to sustain a wholesome bonsai plant. The secret is in having the ability to regulate the amount of stress that a plant will endure while still remaining healthy. Stress here refers to the horticultural routine of knowing how much is too little, and how much is too much. This law is applicable to every facet of the bonsai culture, which includes pruning, altitude, temperature, nutrient, sun, soil, water, air, etc. 

Growing your skill takes time and effort. This book will help you learn the artistic and horticultural practice that is needed to help you become the spectacular bonsai artist you wish to be. You will learn to grow healthy bonsai trees and you will see those efforts blossom over time. What's more? You will learn more than the bonsai art and a great sense of satisfaction will be discovered as you study and care for your Bonsai. 

Chapter 1: What is Bonsai

Over 2000 years ago, the Chinese began to make miniature landscapes. The further the replica was in dimension from the original, the more enchantingly compelling it tended to be. A learner could concentrate on the supernatural characteristics of this replicas and obtain access to them.

700 years ago, at some point in the Kamakura period, the Japanese copied this Chinese art-form of making miniature landscapes and from that instant on, a distinct Japanese pattern surfaced. The Japanese began to grow singular trees instead of whole landscapes. These singular trees from the Japanese are what is today called the Bonsai.

The Japanese term, Bon-sai, accurately translates to mean planted in a container. Bonsai is an ageless Chinese horticultural practice that gave birth to the art form that was improved under the inspiration of Zen Buddhism of the Japanese. The fundamental aim of bonsai growing is to produce a small but true-to-life depiction of nature in a tree form.

The art form of bonsai has been around for well over 2000 years. Furthermore, the genetics of bonsai are not dwarfed naturally, seeing as any tree species can be used to grow a
