BONSAI PLANT
Hello Friends you must have seen this beatiful plant with huge branches and small leaves short in heiht can be placed anywhere in the house. These plants really add life to the house interior but it does have some advatages and well as disadvatanges which we will see below.
Lets Talk About Advantages:
Air Purifier
One of the primary benefits of bonsai plants in your house or business is that they purify the air. When you cultivate bonsai plants in your house or business, the environment remains clean.
Boost Your Creativity
Connecting with your creative side is one of the top bonsai tree spiritual benefits. You can encourage your bonsai to grow in practically any manner you desire with the right tactics.
Compassionate Work
Your bonsai tree can survive for hundreds of years, but it must be cared for on a regular basis. Tending to a bonsai tree is a daily reminder that everything has to be cultivated on a regular basis. When your tree loses its leaves, or you prune away unsightly branches, you make room for new growth.
Regularity and consistency
One of the most important advantages of having a bonsai tree in your house is that it teaches you the value of consistency. You must be constant in caring for the bonsai that you bring home, which builds a habit of being consistent with things and your routines for the rest of your life.
Develops patience
To keep healthy, bonsai plants need regular watering, fertilization, and pruning. This means that you should engage in some physical activity. People who develop them, evidently, have the chance to expand their patience and work hard. It is advantageous to them in practical terms.
After Learning About Advantages lets See the Disadvatages:
Need constant watering
Possibly the biggest problems for a lot of us living in the west and the biggest disadvantages that bonsai plants have is that they need constant watering. Some bonsai plants even need to be watered twice per day (depending on the species) – this typically happens if you keep plants indoors which usually have their one mini climate.
Bonsai plants can be expensive
When first starting out bonsai plants and trees can be affordable – typically costing between $20 – $50 for a small Chinese elm, sooner or later however the costs soon add up. First of all, if you start a collection then expect to pay this a few times when starting adding to your collection. On top of this, larger more professional bonsai plants and trees that have been grown by others for years can be expensive with some going as high as $1000 – $2000 depending on the complexity. To add to this, you will likely need some type of training course which can add up to around $30 – $100 depending on the price of a session that lasts a few hours.
Light requirements
We need to understand that bonsai plants require a lot of light. This is because a lot of bonsais come from countries like Japan, China, and Israel, all countries which have a lot of humidity and light. This is especially important for those of you who keep your bonsai plants indoors so ensure that you keep them in the brightest spot or invest in a LED or UV light with a lot of lumens to ensure that your bonsai gets all the light it needs.
Bonsai plants require patience
It’s important then that when designing your plant or pruning your bonsai that you are patient, mapping out in your head or on paper what you would like your plant to look like, and taking the time to make the right decision when cutting branches. Decisions that are made in haste are usually the wrong decision so ensure you take as much time as you need. This is especially true if you are growing your bonsai from scratch, ensure that you do what you would do for a normal plant.
Bonsai is not beginner-friendly
Don’t get me wrong, with a few weeks of practice and a few (failed) attempts you can get pretty good at doing bonsai, but like anything in life, to get any real level of skill takes time. Whilst there are plenty of fantastic tutorials and guides online to help you get started realistically, in my opinion, the best bet would be to sign up for a bonsai course for a few hours per week. A lot of stuff can get easily misheard online and so having someone you can directly interact with answering the basic questions can go a long way. On top of this, expect your first few attempts in bonsai to be pretty bad, especially if you are starting with a fresh plant that you would like to make – so definitely be prepared to have a few plants die in your first few attempts.
