• The word bonsai is Japanese and it means dwarfed
  trees in a pot. These miniature trees have been
  around us for centuries. They are very well known
  in most of the world but are especially popular
  in Asia. So many people think that these trees
  are of a particular type of tree but the fact is
  they are actually normal trees that are kept
  smaller through the pruning process. To produce
  the dwarf appearance of the tree, copper wires
  are used for this process. These copper wires are
  carefully coiled around the branches of the trees
  as per the desired direction.

• These bonsai trees live very long. The common
  varieties are azalea, pine, camellia, plum and
  bamboo. To create bonsai some professional people
  use special tools such as a root trimmer, shears
  and pliers.

• Care and lots of attention should be given to
  such trees. To maintain the looks of the tree,
  pruning of roots and branches is necessary. If
  you have one of these trees at home, you should
  be aware of the amount of sunlight and water that
  should be given to them. If they are exposed to
  excess sunlight and too much wind, they will dry
  up fast. When these trees have gone through
  re-potting and pruning, they should not be
  exposed to the direct extreme sunlight. Special
  care should be taken during the pruning period.

• These special trees require many nutrients to
  remain healthy. The supply of water given to them
  should be at the maximum. They should receive
  phosphoric acid, nitrogen and some potash for
  their growth. Sunlight is also a very important
  nutrient for them. You should always provide them
  these nutrients to keep them healthy and looking
  beautiful.

• It is suggested that when planting in pots, they
  should be kept in the tray, which must be shallow
  to allow for evaporation. The use of pebbles and
  some flattened rocks will help in preventing the
  trees from sitting in the water. Do not ever
  forget that the roots of these trees should never
  be wet.
