Bonsai
trees are awesome. Just ask Mr Miyagi. They look beautiful, they fit in
your house, they encourage patience and dedication, they relieve
stress, and they help to purify the air. What's not to like?
People have been caring for Bonsai trees
for over a thousand years. The ancient horticultural practice
originated in China, where it was known as "penzai", and was later
redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism. The plants are
kept small due to growth-restricting techniques such as pinching buds,
pruning and wiring branches and restricting the use of fertilizer. It's a
delicate and time-consuming process, but as you can from this list
compiled by Bored Panda, those who persevere are rewarded with something amazing.
