The Art of Bonsai: Growing Small Trees with Patience and Beauty.

Growing a bonsai is like making art with a small tree. It started in China a long time ago and then became popular in Japan.

Bonsai means 'plant in a tray' and it might seem hard at first. But if you learn the basics and are patient, anyone can grow a bonsai.

When you choose a tree, think about where you live and how much experience you have. Some trees like cold weather, while others need to stay inside.

Bonsai trees live in small pots to keep their roots from growing too big. The special soil helps water drain quickly so the roots don't rot.

Growing a bonsai takes time and patience. You need to trim the branches carefully and help them grow in the shapes you like.
