Bonsai is the art of growing trees that are of tiny-stature, within the household premises. The word Bonsai is basically a Chinese term, which denotes a shrub or a tree planted in a shallow tray. It plays an important role by adding value to the living room. The following are the valuable tips that can preserve the plant for a longer duration.

a) Adequate water should be poured on time and the leaves that have turned yellowish should be plucked without crushing the buds. b) Retain the moisture content in the soil by consistently immersing the pot into the water. Let the excess water get drained away later on. c) Choose a right location so that the plant is not deprived of the sunrays. Also, ensure that it is not exposed to the scorching heat of the sun. d) Add the necessary fertilizers like phostrogen tomato after watering them. e) Maintain the original shape by tapering away the part that grows so that it looks orderly f) Trim away a small portion from the root and fix the plant in a new pot. Thus, the plant will be healthier for a longer span. g) When you sense a glossy touch at your fingertips, it should be understood that the leaves are victims of an infestation. So apply insecticides or a diluted solution for a maximum of three times.

Although this craft leads to curbing of nature, it is not a form of wastage. It is a way of bringing beauty indoors.
