Beauty of the Miniature Art - Bonsai




Bonsai trees are small, yet enchanting.

Even though considered as an art, there is always a criticism about this practice.
There are many people who believe that growing a bonsai tree is a very cruel practice. This is because they assume that a tree needs to be 'starved' of its required nutrients in order to stunt its growth. They also perceive the pruning process as unhealthy and think that it weakens the tree's foundation. All these fears are baseless. The pruning process does not damage the tree's ability to receive nourishment from the soil. Also, a bonsai tree is watered more often than a regular-sized tree to ensure that it receives its share of nutrients.

I don't understand why the people who care for these trees a lot fail to care for the suffering human society.

Is it something like our people are so kind hearted to care for a tree or is it like they care for a tree but fail to care for the suffering human society.

However I see Bonsai as an art and I really love it...
