Bonsai is the art of cultivating miniature trees. The pine, a tree that naturally grows many meters tall, is the most typical plant used for bonsai, but many other tree species can be used. To achieve miniaturization, the tree is frequently transferred into new pots, and on that occasion its roots are cut a little bit. Bonsai skills include the knowledge of when and how much to cut the roots, how much fertilizer and water is ideal, and which branches should be pruned to give the plant an aesthetic look.
