Bonsai: The Way

“Bonsai” is a Japanese term which means “tree in pot”. Bonsai is derived from an art form that originated in ancient China called Penjing (Chinese: 盆景; pinyin: pén jǐng;literally "tray scenery"), also known as penzai (Chinese: 盆栽;pinyin: pén zāi; literally "trayplant"), tray landscape, potted scenery, potted landscape, or miniature trees and rock scenery. Penjing was then redeveloped under the influence of Japanese Zen Buddhism into what the world knows as Bonsai. Artist cultivate Bonsai to create a miniaturized representation of nature in the form of a tree.

 

The Cacti 

Succulents and their sub-group Cacti are a group of plants that store water in their leaves. The leaves tend to be thick and fleshy, but some genus and species have thicker leaves than others. Cacti tend to thrive in dry climates and don’t tolerate a lot of humidity. While they do need water to survive, they can endure extended periods of drought, relying on the stored water and nutrients in their leaves.
