🪴 BONSAI
Tiny tree, major vibes! This little legend has been around for over a thousand years, originally rooted in ancient Chinese horticulture before becoming a Japanese art form. Whether you're aiming for zen or just some funky foliage, this pint-sized powerhouse brings big style in a small package.
🌞 Light Needs
-
Likes it bright, baby! Indirect sunlight is ideal—direct rays can scorch those precious leaves.
-
Rotate it regularly to keep the shape even and lush.
💧 Water Me Right
-
Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy.
-
Water when the topsoil feels dry—usually once a week.
-
Loves humidity! Mist occasionally or keep a humidity tray nearby.
🌡️ Preferred Climate
-
Best kept between 60–75°F (15–24°C).
-
Protect from drafts and wild temperature swings—this ain’t a drama tree, but it has its limits.
🐾 Pet-Friendly?
🚫 Nope. While not deadly, some Bonsai trees (like Ficus and Juniper varieties) are toxic to cats and dogs if nibbled. Best kept out of paw’s reach.
🌱 Plant Parent Vibe Check
🧘♀️ Best for the intentional and the mindful. Bonsai requires regular pruning, shaping, and observation. This isn’t a “set it and forget it” plant—it’s a living sculpture.
🎨 Perfect for detail-lovers, patient souls, and anyone who likes their plants with a side of meditation.
🛠️ Pro Tip
Repot every 2–3 years to maintain root health. Use well-draining bonsai-specific soil for best results.
